  • Doesn't account for terrain. Worthless.

  • awesome, but what about the fallout radius :/

  • So long all the wealthy parts of Connecticut if a "Tsar Bomba" goes off in NYC.

    I live next to NORAD and have often wondered if I would still be around after a nuclear attack. THE MORE YOU KNOW!
