It's the size of the fire created by a one megaton airburst. |
Earlier this year, on the chilly morning of February 15th, a thirteen-thousand-ton meteor screamed above the Ural Mountains before exploding in an airburst seventy-six-thousand feet above Chelyabinsk, Russia. |
The melt material also matches melt-glass produced by the Trinity nuclear airburst of 1945 in Socorro, New Mexico. |
The AASM-1000 is under development, as are new features such as airburst and data link. |
My guess is that we'd probably survive an airburst, if it were to happen. |
These dastardly bombs contain coils of metal that fragment when the core charge detonates, usually in an airburst that showers people below with shrapnel. |
