Ever wanted to be able to see just where and where you aren't safe in the event of a nuclear explosion? Check out http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/gmap/hydesim.html for a fairly interesting (and disturbing) little feature using Google Maps. Hope you can't see your house from there!

Drop it on Green Bay and I am just outside the blast radius. Not that I wouldn't die soon after anyhow though.

The largest nuke ever made was Russia's "Tsar Bomba" which had a yield of 50,000 KT. If dropped on manhattan, it would destroy all of the 5 burroughs, Yonkers, Newark, Jersey City. It would go as far north as Stamford, and travel out to Jones Beach on the island.
