180km fireball?!?! 
Noooo!
The Tzar bomb was made for 100Mt, but was only ever detonated at 50Mt.
At 50Mt the fireball was 4.6km. If it had detonated at 100Mt the fireball would have been around 6.2km. Nowhere near 180km!
Of course the dammage will spread much further than 6.2km. With the 100Mt bomb you would be badly burnt over 200km away and windows would break over 1200km away.
*edit* Snap! |
hmmmm i posted after watching the 2nd one, which AL posted. perhaps im getting confused, and it was *meant* to be a 180km fireball, or something, when they were talking about its intended use against a target like london... i'll rewatch it tonight to try make sense of myself
