This is what happens if you nuke Paris with ‘Tsar Bomba’

On October 30, 1961, the Soviet Union set off the largest man-made explosion in history.  A thermonuclear device officially called the RDS-220, but in the West we know it as Tsar Bomba.  Watch

  1. And where’d they get the knowledge? From spies and traitors in the U.S. Meanwhile fat hillary skates free after giving them more uranium. What else did she give them?

  2. “Boom goes London, boom Paris … gonna make more room for you & me.
    They all hate us anyhow … let’s drop the Big One now.”

  3. Sorry for being pedantic but I’ve seen different versions of that chart. It is inaccurate because it gives the wrong idea that those are the relative sizes of those devices’ mushroom clouds. It did not it does not work that way.

  4. I remember when the Soviets were
    testing ever larger hydrogen
    bombs back in the 60’s. Their
    ICBM accuracy was crap so they
    went to hand grenade and horse shoe
    philosophy of all it had to do was get kinda close to kill the target.
    They popped at least one that was
    60 MEGATON. It was supposed to be
    100 MEG’s but they choked the explosion down to 60 because there
    were some valid fears that the
    bigger blast could effect the
    Earth’s spin/orbit. How many
    Megatons was the Tsar?

  5. I was living in Orléans, France then–my Dad was stationed there from 60-63. My brother and I had to wear our dog tags to school everyday in case Russia did something and we had to be bussed away. Of course, we would have been dead but…Fun times. I was 9 when we got there and 12 when we left.

  6. How much longer can our luck last? It’s really just a question of when. Couple man’s stupidity and the spread of these reality changing weapons and the future looks bleak.

  7. Corky,
    My Dad was stationed at Ramstein, Germany, during that same period: 60-63.
    We had to keep a stocked fall-out shelter in the basement with water spiked with chlorine tablets (tasted like shit). Drills every couple of weeks, in school and at home. Yep, we had to wear dog-tags, too. The round-the-clock B-52s were awesome – and I mean that in the original sense – AWESOME.
