Original Message If TPTB would REALLY pull such a thing off on Friday (for ex. with the "missing" 500kT from the german submarine), how big of a blast radius/calculation time/explosive yield would such an explosion cause?

Just to understand, what range would cause:

- instant death (for ex.: up to 1 mile within 2 seconds);
- destruction of most buildings (for ex. up to 3 miles within 8 seconds);
- moderate damage to buildings;
- 1st degree burns;
- survival/uncontaminated area for the first 10 minutes of the explosion (wind direction etc)

You see where I am going with this, right? Just to understand the "safe area" for the explosion....

Thanks
