I don't know about nukes, but large conventional bombs have an unintuitive survival distance profile. Something like <10 units away, you die, 10-20 units away, you can survive, 20-30 units away you die, >30 units away you survive.
- Ecco 5y agoWhy?
- throwmeariver1 5y agoThermal and air blast a lot of people die because of glas shrapnel from bombs when they look at the bombs at their windows.
- cammikebrown 5y agoWhy is that?
- ScaleneTriangle 5y agoI'm trying to find more information, I know they're was at least one study of a Canadian soldier who survived an explosion inside the radius that he should have died due to the pressure wave.
- ScaleneTriangle 5y agoIt has something to do with the pressure wave and how it changes with distance, since I posted that comment I've been looking for more information but I don't know the right terms.
- gnulinux 5y agoIs this due to shrapnel?
