I fucking love em.That one is the pic is a big one too; a thermonuclear "H" bomb, in fact if I was to hazard a guess I'd say that pic was either Castle Bravo or Castle Romeo, or just maybe Ivy Mike (they were the code names given to them; "Castle" was the operation, "Bravo" was the specific name for the explosion). Castle Bravo was the biggest the US ever exploded at 15 megatons, which is truly huge; it's about 1000 times bigger than the Hiroshima bomb (which itself destroyed a city and killed 140,000 people!). Castle Bravo's explosion had more explosive power than all the ordinance used in World War's 1 and 2 combined; all of them combined! Bombs, shells, bullets, the lot! That is one truly huge explosion! The Russians exploded one even bigger called Tsar Bomba which was over 50 megatons, and that was a scaled down version of the original design at 100 megatons!I'd would have loved to have seen one of those really big ones explode. In fact I'd love to have seen one of the smaller one's explode as they are pretty fucking impressive. It won't happen again though; atmospheric nuclear testing. Iran may give it a go or North Korea, but they'll probably underground test. Either way it will only be the smaller fission bombs as well (although small is only relative when compared to the larger fusion devices).</blockquote>
