Default Largest Nuclear Bomb

This bomb kicks some major a$$. Equal to all the explosives used in WWII x 10.

The last comment made by the commentator in the video was a bit scary. Russia sucked at producing accurate, guided missiles, so they leveled the playing field by building a hydrogen bomb that was four times larger than anything the US had at the time.

To think that its payload was so large that it was equivalent to 58 million tons of TNT, or the equivalent of all the explosives used in WWII multiplied by 10 is simply mind boggling.

Need more? The commentator said that the shockwave created by this bomb was so great, that it was measured three separate times as it made its passage around the world.

What the hell does having nuclear power facilities have to do with making nuclear bombs? How about we not bomb every living thing in sight and worry about our own people first? Since when has our policy become shoot first and ask questions later?

No, not really, sorry. I know it's easy to joke about, but I am really worried the end of the world is closer than we think; and that is anything but funny.

I went through all the bomb shelter building and duck and cover drills in school growing up and your not going to do yourself any good worrying about it. You need to be concerned of course but there's not a heck of a lot you can do about it. I remember a old sign that read ( In case of Nuclear attack put your head between your legs and kiss your A$$ goodbye ) and that pretty much covers about all you can do. Even if your the president of the United States it doesn't mean you'll be able to stop a Nuclear war.

As far as I'm concerned, it was better back when we threw rocks at each other to solve our conflicts. Those f***ing bombs, guns and all that crap, it's no fun.
