In this final part of the effects of a nuclear bomb series we take a look at some of the largest weapons that ever had the possibility of being delivered to target. A 20 megaton weapon is at the upper end of the warheads that sat atop ICBM's and in the bomb bays of nuclear bombers at the height of the cold war. We compare this weapons effects from three different distances from the center of Chicago.

It is the pronunciation that is accepted by Websters by from folks in Northwest Indiana. The facts in the video do not change if you pronounce it "new-clee-ar". At this point I have been through this about 417 times.

And if something did happen to Chitcago they may be doing the U.S. a favor
