Hey, guys. I read this thread and I found it out that you did not watch the movie attentively enough. I have never said that the nukes under the WTC were 1.5 kiloton. I said it clearly they were 150 kiloton. See the 100 times difference? For those who doubt it it is highly recommended to watch the part20 of the movie - it is explained there that the WTC demolition had nothing to do with any ADM, mini-nuke or anything of this kind. It was three old good 150 kiloton hydrogen charges that would destroy bigger part of New York if exploded above surface. Someone who pasted description of 1.5 kt nuke explosion above can't realize that there is a huge difference between a REAL underground nuclear explosion, a SHALLOW underground nuclear explosion and an atmospheric nuclear explosion. Besides, there is a huge difference between soft soil of Nevada desert and hard granite rock in Manhattan. Well calculated explosion of 150 kiloton in granite rock would only make a cavity of 100 meters in diameter and nothing more than this. No crater at all, no mushroom cloud at all. And the very same explosion of 150 kiloton above surface, or slightly sub-surface would totally wipe entire Manhattan from the map and, additionally destroy a big part of New York around and burn out the remaining part of New York (given that Hiroshima bomb was less than 20 kiloton you can imagine what is 150 kiloton). See the difference?
Sincerely yours,
Dimitri A. Khalezov. The person who appears in the movie.
