Castle Bravo (Recorded 4/2/00- IL1)

HS: "On March 1st, 1954, the United States conducted a thermonuclear test (code-named Castle Bravo) that was projected to have an explosive force equal to 6 million tons (megatons) of TNT. However, when the device was detonated it in fact exploded with the force of 15 megatons of TNT. In addition to completely vaporizing the South Pacific island where the bomb was detonated, this unexpectedly high yield (aided by a 90° shift in the wind) caused an enormous cloud of nuclear radiation to dust a Japanese fishing boat that had accidentally traveled to the edge of the test area. All of the fishermen on that boat soon died of radiation-related illnesses. (This incident was one of the primary inspirations for the film "Godzilla".) If exploded over a large city, a 15 megaton thermonuclear weapon would instantly kill millions of people, create a firestorm that would burn the entire city to cinders killing millions more, and produce radiation that would render the area uninhabitable to practically all forms of life for thousands of years."
