Monopoman 01/14/18 12:55:52 AM #19:	The 50 figure might be talking about absolutely vaporizing all of Hawaii, the point of why Nukes are so ridiculously bad is due to the long term repercussions not about the blast incinerating every building and living being in an entire state or country or something. In some ways the lucky ones are the ones that would die right away from a nuclear blast, the ones that live through it get to enjoy a host of other problems over the next 5-10 years minimum. --- BF ID: Birck #1559845599 Leads: Erza, Natsu, Lofia <cite>Monopoman posted [p:894012485] in Nuclear Ap...
