Such an eerie thought. I'm curious about the "Bomb Detonated by the USA" statement in the pic. Does that mean that the US has/had tested each bomb by detonating it somewhere?

Yup, all tested in the 50's

The biggest one ever was by Russia... Someone made a similar image for it, so I'll put it beside the original:

Spoiler!


That would literally wipe a city off the face of the earth.

From wikipedia

Quote:
All buildings in the village of Severny (both wooden and brick), located 55 kilometres from ground zero within the Sukhoy Nos test range, were destroyed. In districts hundreds of kilometers from ground zero wooden houses were destroyed, stone ones lost their roofs, windows and doors; and radio communications were interrupted for almost one hour. One participant in the test saw a bright flash through dark goggles and felt the effects of a thermal pulse even at a distance of 270 kilometres. The heat from the explosion could have caused third-degree burns 100 km away from ground zero. A shock wave was observed in the air at Dikson settlement 700 kilometres away; windowpanes were partially broken to distances of 900 kilometres. Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage at even greater distances, breaking windows in Norway and Finland.

Well watch "mega ships" on discovery etc.

The USS Kentucky, a "destroyer class" nuclear submarine is 1 of 18 in the navy fleet, each equipped with 20 triton missles. They tout it as the worlds deadliest war
Machine with enough fire power to "wipe out a continent" and that's only a single sub
