Would a nuke or even simply a large bomb set Yellowstone off? That is my nightmare scenario.

It seems like this would be the obvious easy target.

only if someone drills a very deep hole and drops the nuke in. just dropping it from the air and it detonating on impact wouldnt set it off. the explosion would penetrate deep enough to rupture the magma chamber

or every nuc in the world could fail to set it off.

could set it off
