'Tsar Bomba' is a 50 megaton bomb. The hydrogen bomb in question here is 500 kilotons, or 1/100th the power of the Tsar Bomba. By all measures, this is a small bomb - but still big enough to cause a WHOLE LOT of damage.
This is insanely crazy news. Where is this thing headed and why?
heres a cool website, it shows you tsar bombs radius and stuff, i think i found it on ATS a long while back.
nuclearsecrecy.com...
i do not recommend the use of Nukes EVER, never ever nuke anything in any way.

Are they kidding? Really? They dealt an operational and intact Hydrogen Bomb off to someone and then LOST TRACK of it???
You know the only friggen comfort that I've EVER had that a nuclear weapon would never be used rogue is the fact that they all carry signatures within signatures for various things that tell experts with the billion dollar gizmos just who made it and where it came from. Detonated or not. ...Knowing that, no one would ever peddle one to some AQ nut job.
Oh, c'mon, tell me this is a hoax.... It's B.S... There has to be another explanation. This puts a very serious weapon capable of starting wars into the open ....nothingness.... and with absolutely no accountability back to who supplied it to whoever the heck has it?!
Tom Clancy wrote a book like this once, and the movie sucked. The book was sure an interesting read as fiction. I'm feeling physically ill right now, reading it as possible fact. Can someone at least tell me there is no passage wide and deep enough for a submarine to transit the lakes all the way to Chicago?? I was kidding in another thread about an Aegis cruiser showing up off Chicago. Could ANY submarine actually get there without being detected 100 times?

Surely someone would know whose sub it was lurking in the harbour.
