Thanks for the info. > average ICBM is 500-1000 kilotons which basically destroys most buildings in 50 square miles and causes third degree burns for around 150 square miles (probably killing most). OK, makes sense to me. > Nuke map shows 1.5 million fatalities in downtown Manhattan with 800 kilotons Huh? That means there are only 1.5 million people in 50 square miles of Manhattan? (ignoring the 150 of third degree burns) That seems terribly low to me. Manhattan in it's entirety is 22 square miles [1] So one "average" nuke will easily kill everyone in all of Manhattan and a ton of the surrounding area... but that's only 1.5 mil?
