The devastation would be total: this is the result of one simulation about the release of an atomic bomb on the English capital London which has almost 9 million inhabitants. There is no attack in sight and Putin has not yet gone that far but the result is the result of some parameters entered on Nukemap, an interactive map created by an American historian at the Stevens Institute of Technology, a scholar of nuclear weapons. The site allows any user to carry out simulations taking into consideration different parameters: first the city is entered, then the power of the explosion expressed in Kilotons, a unit of measurement to know the amount of energy released after an explosion, the basic options and finally, there is the “detonate” button which shows the effects on the interactive map. It is certainly better that it remains “a game” online forever.
Here are the simulations on London
The English newspaper Daily Star he tried to understand what would happen if a bomb equal to the one he owns were dropped Hiroshima, in 1945, caused the deaths of more than 60 thousand. In London it would be worse: more than 76 thousand dead and almost 250 thousand injured, an apocalypse. On the other hand, if a nuclear bomb such as the one a Nagasaki caused 45 thousand deaths, in the English capital it would be even worse with more than 82 thousand dead and more than 250 thousand injured. A situation even worse, therefore, than in the first hypothesis. It must be said, as he remembers The Messengerthat those bombs were dated: today the effects could be much worse due to atomic bombs with different and even more devastating technologies than in the past.
The worst case scenario
Indeed, the results with modern nuclear warheads are terrible: Nukemap showed that with the largest bomb ever tested in the former USSR, the devastation would far exceed previous ones. London would have nearly 6 million dead, nearly three and a half million injured but the effects would reach as far as Norwich which is about 100 miles to the north. An apocalyptic situation. It is clear that, as in London, the simulation would also be very similar in other world cities in terms of deaths and devastation. But that’s not all, because the Daily Star saw what would happen if the most powerful device ever tested by the USA were dropped: in that case, the radiation would even reach up to Copenaghen, Denmark. London and all the surrounding areas would be completely razed to the ground.
“UK swept in 202 seconds”
Il Daily Star he defines him as a “stooge” and a Putin supporter: he is a legislator Russian live on TV who, during a harsh outburst, threatened the UK by saying that “202 seconds” would be enough for it to be blown away with a nuclear missile, basically three and a half minutes. “Just a Sarmat missile, the British Isles are gone“, added the legislator in the grip of madness. Although the conductor tried to reason with him by asking him that with a”Sarmat do you understand that no one will survive? Nobody on the planet“, the Tsar’s supporter continued to insist that this scenario could be the opportunity for a new beginning thanks to a”tabula rasaIt sounds unbelievable, but it’s really been said.
