    WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    My point didn't mention casualties for the same reason Cal-Bear and yourself allude to later, there's too much variation in the figures. What I looked at was the amount of physical damage a 15kt airburst would cause in a city built of concrete, steel, brick and stone. Instead of the 6.5km²...

    ...if I'm making shit up, let's go the whole hog), drops the first atomic weapon used in anger. A 15kt blast in a brick and concrete city will* give a roughly 200m fire ball. Buildings in a 400m radius will be totally demolished. There will be a pulse of radiation in about a 1200m radius of...

    WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    Yes, but... It wouldn't have the altitude or speed to get away, it would essentially be a suicide attack.

    I was in the crowd for that one. I only went for the Sunday because I wanted to see Nirvana. L7 were a bonus. They had to put up with A LOT of shit. I saw them in Sheffield supporting Faith No More too, that was just after they'd appeared on The Word so you can imagine the grief they got from...

    How would a NATO invasion of Warsaw Pact go?

    Because: And A woman I used to work with grew up in Hungary during the cold war. The propaganda regarding NATO was pretty much identical to the propaganda we heard about the Warsaw Pact - it's only a matter of time until they invade.

    King Charles Gay?

    Social ramifications in Britain during the 70's and 80's? None at all. It would just never be spoken about. Not even by the Red Tops. Ever. It would be taboo to even joke about it. I doubt even the "Radical left" comedians like Alexi Sayle, Ben Elton or Harry Enfield would joke about it...
