tsar bomba


tsar bomba


compellingly beautiful. the ussr’s tsar bomba tested in oct 1961 boasted a yield of 50,00 kt. remaining the largest thermonuclear weapon ever tested. never expected the soviets to b so powerful huh...little boy n fat man that exploded over hiroshima n nagasaki only had a power of 15 n 21 kilotons. imagine the damage this bomb wd unleash...

“The fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane, and was seen 1,000 km away. The heat could have caused third degree burns at a distance of 100 km. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 60 km high and 30–40 km wide. The explosion could be seen and felt in Finland, even breaking windows there. Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage up to 1,000 km away. The seismic shock created by the detonation was measurable even on its third passage around the earth”.

the awesome majesty n power of human achievement n destruction. we humans realli r assholes.

farewell assembly was a waste of time n a huge disappointment. buffet was disappointing. actually felt dat it was just like any other normal sch day, an extended civics period. ct reps had to so some admin stuff somemore. they were last min, as usual. actually, graduation day actually taught me one thing. this sch doesn’t realli cares 2 hoots abt u although they tell u upfront dat they do. graduation ceremony turned out to b analysis of j2 prelim results, a shitass talk by principal n a ppt presentation dats supposed to b our graduation video montage. n for the record, dat last item screwed up real bad too. a poorly planned affair, rather haphazardly put together at the last min. i’m glad to b finally outta this sch.

i’m not so sure bout ns, i wonder how i wd go from here. how much will i change? how much will pple change? i'll just haf to stick around to find out.
