I never really grasped how large the Tsar bomb really was. It's destructive radius is terrifying.

Yep. Supposedly produced a mushroom cloud 35 miles high.

Let me put it this way...if liberals are right that weapons makers and rich robber barons decide when and where we go to war, then there will never be a nuclear war. Can't have the weapons factories getting vaporized. That's bad for business.

Yup the fireball didn't even hit the ground because the shockwave was too strong to let it. It did, however,
nearly get pushed up high enough to hit the plane that had deployed the bomb.
Also that picture is from 99 miles away.
