Nuclear terror 'matter of time'

<< < (5/5)

Trauma-san:
Oh, Engies was asking about the power of the bombs.  A full-scale American grade nuclear warhead (which the terrorists wouldn't have access to or the ability to build) has an amazing amount of power.  

They say that the capabilities (and this is bombs that EXIST, not just things they CAN build, this is the big ones we have pointed at Russia and shit) have the power to do this:

If you're standing inside your house, 50 miles away from teh epicenter, where the bomb hits... and you're washing dishes. If you drop a fork, as the bomb touches down 50 miles away; you'll be vaporized before the fork hits the ground.  That's unbelievable.. 3 or 4 of those well placed in cities around the world would bring about an armageddon society.

yea but those are about 15 megatons. i believe the hiroshima ones were 10 kilotons (1000 kilotons=1 megaton)

if a terrorist had a small nuke it would be like 1-5 kiltons, still enough to do extreme damage.

Trauma-san:
O.K.  Re-Read what I said.  Whilst you do that, think about a couple of things for me.

1. Did I say anywhere that I was talking about the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima & Nagasaki?

2. Did I say anywhere that the terrorists had these bombs?

3. Didn't I say specifically that terrorists WOULDN'T have bombs that powerful?

Think about those three things, then write a 1 page essay on your thoughts... you have 3 days.
