WHat bugged me about that scene was if you could see a high altitude blast, complete with EMP, you probably got hit with so much raditation, that the show wold not last the episode. So Watch the show, and enjoy the fun. It is the funniest thing since "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea". What I find is the problem with it is that the people live like there will be a truck with food showing up tomorrow. Not very much conservation. They expect that food will suddenly fall out of the sky. :-) Geoff. A multi-megatone device going off at ~400 miles up would produce minimal surface effect except for the EMP and the optical pulse which would likely fry the optic nerves of anyone looking at it. And given the double pulse effect of thermo-nukes, the first dimmer pulse would attract the views attention just in time for the whammy. You might want to take this over to misc survivial. Real data from military studies about EMP effects and containment have been linked to. I will stand by my comments about it is high humour. They haven't done anything a wise or prudent group would. An example of what to not do. Terry |
