Brilliant piece, just brilliant.

This won't play for me, but from the thumbnail and time period, I think it is a dupe of

but please doublecheck first. Like I said, for some reason this won't play for me.

>> ^Stingray:
I only saw the count go to 2,053. I feel jipped.

Big bang.

Nice links! Would be interesting to see that fallout map correlated with cancer prevalence per capita....

>> ^alizarin:

1) They forgot Israel and South Africa in 1979... that would make it 2054.
2) This diagram is awesome.
Looks like the atmospheric vs underground count vs underwater counts are:
US 206/912/5
USSR 223/756/3
UK 21/24
France 50/160
China 22/26
India 0/6
South Africa/Isreal 1/0
Pakistan 0/7
North Korea 0/1
3) The fallout map is fun.
4) The Nevada and Kazakhstan need to surrender already

>> ^redyellowblue:

Take away the 2nd and 3rd nuke and I'm gona guess the death toll was near nothing over all those years, because they were tests... in a desert.. or remote area.
If each of those nukes were aimed at a populated city containing stuff people care about and infrastructure. It would be "yabba dabba doo time"


Actually, after those pommy fuckers blew their filthy payloads over the desert of South Australia, they visited the nearby Aboriginal communities to see what effect the radiation had on them. It was a similar situation in the Pacific

>> ^notarobot:

I'd like to play tic tac toe please.
Looks more like a seriously tough game of Simon to me.

Tsar Bomba's fireball alone was five fucking miles in diameter, wouldve burned everything in a 62 mile radius to the third degree, and caused blast damage up to 620 miles away. In all that, the test bomb had half the yield of its original design (to reduce fallout)

so yes

it would be that bad

>> ^raverman:

If thousands of nukes over 50 years didnt cause the end of the world... would a nuclear war be as bad as they said?

actually death toll from the radioactive fallout around those test sites and in general all around the world is probably much higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
i know my grandfather died from radiation exposure complication after his battalion was deployed to an area near an atmospheric nuke test site. they weren't told why they were deployed there and govt continues to deny that they there were any experiments involving army personnel.
