The headline just didn’t convey any sense of scale to me. I found this metric much more interesting:
> 500 times as powerful as the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of World War II.
- sterlind 5y agowhich is funny, because 10 megatons intrinsically conveys scale. it's equivalent to 10 million tons of TNT.
- mrleinad 5y agoI never bothered to look it up, but that still tells me nothing. Is everyone into what's the destructive power of one ton of TNT but me? All I can think of when I read TNT is some old cowboy movie where they threw TNT cartridges around, or some cartoon.
