"The bomb will not start a chain-reaction in the water converting it all to gas and letting the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy, as one of my critics labeled me, exploding these bombs to satisfy my personal whim."

youre so loving precious

Suck my loving dick, I'm so loving tired of playing nice to anyone who wasn't combat arms. You don't. loving. Know. None of you will. You don't know what it's like when it's loving personal, when your best friends are getting killed and mutilated, when it isn't about political bullshit, but just you and the closest men you'll ever be with against dudes that want you loving dead. Pissing on those shitheads is loving nothing compared to other poo poo that happens, especially what they do to us. That poo poo was eye for an eye, that isn't some loving war crime. They didn't go around killing little kids and poo poo and murdering women.

I'll take a probie for this, because I don't want to constantly censor myself because some of you might not like my worldview.

During an experiment on August 21, 1945, Daghlian was attempting to build a neutron reflector manually by stacking a set of 4.4-kilogram (9.7 lb) tungsten carbide bricks in an incremental fashion around a plutonium core. The purpose of the neutron reflector was to reduce the mass required for the plutonium core to attain criticality.[5] He was moving the final brick over the assembly, but neutron counters alerted Daghlian to the fact that the addition of that brick would render the system supercritical. As he withdrew his hand, he inadvertently dropped the brick onto the center of the assembly. Since the assembly was nearly in the critical state, the accidental addition of that brick caused the reaction to go immediately into the prompt supercritical region of neutronic behavior. This resulted in a criticality accident.[5]

Daghlian reacted immediately after dropping the brick and attempted to knock the brick off the assembly without success. He was forced to disassemble part of the tungsten-carbide pile in order to halt the reaction

Nukechat and rocketchat combine forces!

Back in the 70s, the US put together a pretty decent ABM system. It had two parts; the exoatmospheric interceptor, Spartan, could reach altitude over 500 km and had a 5 megaton W71 warhead. It was the sane member of the family.

Sprint was Spartan's little brother.
The W66 warhead on Sprint was a neutron bomb (everyone's favorite); intended to kill incoming warheads through ridiculous neutron flux. As it was designed to engage incoming warheads well within the atmosphere (wiki says 1500-30000m), Sprint needed very good acceleration and speed.

They also tested HiBEX, which could accelerate at 400gs and would have intercepted warheads at very low altitude;

During the Pascal-B nuclear test, a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) steel plate cap (a piece of armor plate) was blasted off the top of a test shaft at a speed of more than 66 kilometres per second (41 mi/s). Before the test, experimental designer Dr. Brownlee had estimated that the nuclear explosion, combined with the specific design of the shaft, would accelerate the plate to approximately six times escape velocity.[9] The plate was never found, but Dr. Brownlee believes that the plate never left the atmosphere, as it may even have been vaporized by compression heating of the atmosphere due to its high speed. The calculated velocity was sufficiently interesting that the crew trained a high-speed camera on the plate, which unfortunately only appeared in one frame, but this nevertheless gave a very high lower bound for the speed. After the event, Dr. Robert R. Brownlee described the best estimate of the cover's speed from the photographic evidence as "going like a bat out of hell!"

According to Conexion Del Rio, 69 year-old Lucila Robles was killed in her home following by the explosion of a truckload of airbag detonators that crashed in front of the house.

From the report:

According to authorities the woman, who lived alone at her home located on U.S. Highway 277, near the intersection with FM 1666, was alone Monday morning, when the truck came off the road, caught on fire and exploded just in front of the structure.

The truck, hauling a flatbed trailer loaded with airbag cartridges, was traveling from Del Rio to the Takata plant in Eagle Pass, Texas. The driver of the truck, identified as Mario Alberto Rodriguez, 20-years-of-age, was injured along with a passenger. They were able to flee the truck before the blast.

An older couple, traveling in a Toyota SUV, was also injured during the explosion. All four injured victims were transported to a hospital in Eagle Pass, and later airlifted to San Antonio.
The woman was initially reported missing, but the two-day search for her ended when dental pieces found at the scene of the explosion were discovered to be Roberts.
