Video Flagged Dead

The Biggest Bomb Ever

submitted by arvana

1 decade 6 years 6 months 4 weeks ago

This is the largest bomb ever exploded. At 50 megatons, it is 10 times the combined power of all the explosives used in WWII; or the weight of 270 Empire State Buildings worth of TNT. It was detonated at 4,000 metres altitude in the Russian Arctic, and broke windows as far away as Finland. The fireball was 46x the diameter of the Nagasaki "Fat Man" bomb's.

Here is the Wikipedia entry and more footage.

Now thats a bomb. DA BOMB!

scary

broke windows in Finland but didn't break the camera? Must be one rock-solid camera!

"as far away as Finland". Funny enough that Finland is Russia's direct neighbour ;-)

Very true, conan! But have a look at the map of the test site location, and you'll see how impressive (or horrifying) that statement really is.

Woah, thanks arvana. Now that isn't what i would call close neighbourhood ;-)

Britney at the MTV Music Awards was bigger.

Doom am I, full-ripe, dealing death to the worlds, engaged in devouring mankind. Even without slaying them not one of the warriors, ranged for battle against thee, shall survive.

-Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11, Verse 32 (Gandhi's Translation)

thats terrifying

No reason for anyone to have anything that big.

kingsblood says...

I thought there were bombs bigger than this built by us... we just never set them off? Or am I being a fool in assuming that?

When interviewed, Jar Jar said "Meesa thinks Tsar Bomba makesa big boomski!"
