Size comparison: Trinity, Ivy Mike, Tsar Bomba

We all know that the nuclear explosion is enormous, but it s hard for us to grasp the real size of it. This video compares three explosions of nuclear test devices of different yields to the 443 m tall Empire State Building and a 5 kmwide part of the skyline of New York. The drawing of the New York skyline is from an illustration made in 1952. The last part of the video shows a cloud of Soviet Tsar Bomba s explosion, which rose to a height of 57 km at that moment. The video is made for educational purposes. Music: Black Vortex Scoring Action by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 licence. Source: Artist:
