Can a nuclear bomb destroy a city?

Question

And if you had one where would you drop it?

Answer 1

Screw a nuclear bomb Id want a Nuetron Bomb. It blows up with only 1/10th the size of a conventional nuke but it lets out huge amounts of radiation that kills all living things within a mile or 2 & all the radioactive fallout only last up 48 hours than its clear. If you were to detonate in over the city it would do nearly not damage & you would have a whole city to yourselfs after 48 hours. Well it would be full of dead bodies. Also anyone on the outskirts would still get enough radiation that it would kill them but in a odd way. They get hardcore sick but after a bit they would get completely better for a short time (2hours to 2 weeks) & then painfully die for nealry ten days. Its called "walking ghost phase." You seem fine but you enevitably die.
Messed up bomb huh? I think of it as the capatolist bomb. It kills all the people but leaves their stuff.

Answer 2

The major powers are talking so much about nuclear disarmament that it makes me think that nuclear weapons are outdated and that they have something else to kill whoever they choose with. You could destroy any city and blame it on anyone else, even one of your own. Such is the power of politicians and the media, most people will be taken in by them and anyone else will be considered to be a whack-job. The World is a very strange place.

Answer 3

THE TWO ATOMIC BOMBS USED DURING WW II ON JAPAN, WIPED OUT TWO MAJOR CITIES. THEY WERE ONLY BABIES COMPARED TO WHAT WE NOW HAVE IN OUR ARSENAL.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT NUCLEAR BOMB CAN DO. WE CAN WIPE OUT COUNTRYS WITH A MERE PUSH OF A BUTTON!

Answer 4

Depends on the size of the city.

One nuclear bomb, would not destory a city like, LA or NYC.

It would make it unliveable.

But it wouldn't kill everyone in the city.

Even the large mega ton nuclear weapons wouldn't.

They found that most of the blast, goes upward on the large mega ton nukes.

Thats why they targeted, several smaller 140 kt nukes at each city.

3 140 kt nukes, do more damage than a single 50mt nuke would do.

Answer 5

yes and not only a city but it can also destroy a country if that nuclear bomb is strong...
