OMG. . . holy crap!

  I'm so embarrassed.... what gives them the right to film my toilets?

[Autostrada Pilot]

Cool.

It's that Tiff Nedel from 5th gear narrating?

I think so. Sounds a hell of a lot like him

[Le Pirate]

watching stuff like that amazes me.

how in the world did we make it through the cold war without mutually destroying the entire world

Don't worry, it's not too late!

And Matador, I loved Jericho - wish they'd bring it back.

'fallout' is radioactive dust / dirt etc. produced when the nuclear processes occur near the ground (i.e. embedding
neutrons into the surrounding material).  in a (high altitude) air burst, the neutrons are largely absorbed by
the intervening atmosphere.

You answered what I was wondering about, but,... Just curious...

why/how would you have known that?

[NeufUnSix]

Honestly I'd be more worried about poorly maintained nuclear reactors in the East than leftover bombs. They still dig up bombs in France and Belgium from the First World War, it's not just the former USSR that continues to be a risk. In fact there is an undetonated super-mine underneath a French farm that they can't remove safely, so the owner of the property just has to live knowing that an errant lightning strike could blow his house sky high (it's happened before).

Nuclear wise, there can always be another Chernobyl, which was relatively well contained for a near-total meltdown. It would be some bad shit if there were a complete meltdown that escaped containment.

Well, the nuclear explosion would likely yeild high energy (fast) neutrons which would make it to the ground. Neutrons are not usually a problem unless ingested or inhaled...

Woe to those who tend to stare into the sky with their mouths open.

[Triple J]

Jeebus...that's 58 megatons!!!! 

The largest tested US nuke was 13.5 megatons.

I realize you're joking, but don't you think somebody might actually believe this?

Somehow

I tend to point fingers at examples such as these blowing holes in our ozone layer

But Aqua Net is full of harmful Neutrons too.

[Buckethead]

I realize it was only 1/3 the size, but the Tunguska Event still boggles my mind.
