Soooooooo not true... look at tungooska it took out 1000 square miles of forest.... If da-14 hits russia, thats a different story... Russia would be gone! [/quote] [b]WRONG... Damage is proportional to the distance from the "blast" ... and in this case the "blast" was a considerable distance from the city (both altitude distance AND lateral distance).[/b] It is only "IF" the blast occured right above the city at a 1 to 3 miles would the blast effect had a huge impact on the city ... even 20 miles away (straight line, which encompasses both altitude distance AND lateral distance) the blast effect would have been minimal. At 40 miles (ie: 20 miles high, ie: 105,000' and 20 miles lateral) the blast effect would have been very minimal. Physics 101 [/quote]
