Richard, Why should we be forced to decide when this thread is supposed to deal with gold, not arms control. You posted it without bothering to think it through, and I have little doubt that you believed the story fully when you decided to "share" it with us all. But you didn't bother to think about the fact that a 25 megaton surface burst would have also left a crater almost a mile wide and hundreds of feet deep, spewing enough irradiated dirt into the sky that it would have made Chernobyl look at a fart in comparison: bilderberg.org (I don't think this is the actual bilderberger website, btw... :0) Look at the US test of a 15 megaton device at Bikini atoll halfway down the page under the heading "H-bomb tests". I took approximately 4 minutes and came up with links that provide both the exact yield of an SS-18 warhead, as well as the impact of the explosion of a 15 megaton warhead. How much research did you bother to do? PS: here's an interesting link for "broken arrows", the code word for accidents involving nuclear devices. This website root directory also has some interesting links on the entire topic... maybe you should read it. atomicarchive.com
