So awesome.
Gah, I don't know what people like that nuke, for one thing its not 6 MegaTons, its 20 KiloTons. It is just a TINY nuclear bomb, the ones like castle brave are hugely more impressive to me, not to mention being 250 times as powerful (like the difference between a racecar and a small lawnmower). IF you look at those explosions they barely destroy the ships 200 yards away, castle bravo dug a crater 1.2 MILES wide and would have killed people many miles away.
Anyways, just think people should understand that those H bombs are orders of magnitude larger than those early A bomb. If they had blown a strategic nuke there instead of that low yield bomb it would have vaporized the water all the way down to the sea floor and the ships in the distance that just get a little wet would be blown hundreds of feet into the air.
