Here's a segment from a Discovery channel documentary on the Tsar Bomba[1]. It is pretty difficult to visualise the kind of impact this bomb would have if actually dropped on a city. It would obliterate London (and large parts of England), as well as Paris, Madrid, Athens, Berlin, Vienna and countless other cities around the world if dropped. I also read somewhere (but can't find the link) that although the Soviet pilots had special shutters and goggles to keep the flash out, when the bomb exploded they claimed they could see their bones through their hands. Of course, the damage from this bomb (in terms of fallout) was much less than that resulting from the Castle Bravo test[2].
