"Atomic bomb over London": the simulation that scares

The devastation would be total: this is the result of one simulation about dropping an atomic bomb on the English capital London which has almost 9 million inhabitants. There is no attack in sight and Putin has not gone that far yet, but the result is the result of some parameters entered on Nukemap, an interactive map created by an American historian at the Stevens Institute of Technology, a nuclear devices scholar, was created. The site allows each user to run simulations taking into account different parameters: first the city is entered, then the power of the explosion expressed in kilotons, a unit of measurement to know the amount of energy released after an explosion, the basic options and finally there are nor the “Detonate” button, which shows the effects on the interactive map. It’s certainly better that it stays “a game” online forever.

Here are the simulations about London

The British newspaper Daily Star tried to understand what would happen if a bomb like this one were dropped Hiroshima, in 1945, caused the deaths of more than 60,000. It would be even worse in London: more than 76,000 dead and almost 250,000 injured, an apocalypse. On the other hand, if an atomic bomb like the a Nagasaki Caused 45,000 deaths, in the English capital it would be even worse with more than 82,000 dead and more than 250,000 injured. An even worse situation than in the first hypothesis. As IlMessaggero recalls, it must be said that these bombs were obsolete: today the effects could be much worse than in the past due to atomic bombs with different and even more devastating technologies.

The worst case scenario

In fact, the results with modern nuclear warheads are terrible: Nukemap showed that with the largest bomb ever tested in the former USSR, the devastation would far exceed previous ones. London would have nearly 6 million dead and almost three and a half million injured, but the impact would extend as far as Norwich, which is about 100 miles to the north. An apocalyptic situation. It is clear that, as in London, the simulation would be very similar in other world cities in terms of deaths and devastation. But that’s not all, as the Daily Star has seen what happens when the most powerful device ever tested by the US is dropped: in which case the radiation would even reach up to Copenhagen, Denmark. London and all surrounding areas would be completely leveled.

“Britain swept in 202 seconds”

The Daily Star calls him a “stooge” and a Putin supporter: he is a legislature A Russian live on TV threatening Britain during a violent eruption, saying that “202 seconds” would be enough to be blown up with a nuclear missile, basically three and a half minutes. “One Sarmat missile and that’s it, the British Isles are gone,” added the mad lawmaker. Although the host tried to reason with him by asking him that with a “Sarmat, do you understand that no one will survive? Nobody on the planet,” the Tsar’s supporter continued to insist that this scenario could be an opportunity for a fresh start thanks to a “tabula rasa”. It sounds unbelievable, but it really was said.
