Interesting (and absolutely true) fact. If the same nuclear weapon that hit Hiroshima were detonated at Old Trafford, people stood outside the Arndale wouldn't be harmed in anyway unless the wind blew fallout in that direction

Not true

It is true, you're not reading what they say. Don't forget the Hiroshima bomb was a lower yield than Nagasaki, and that Old Trafford is 3.5 miles away from the Arndale.

Nearly everything was heavily damaged up to a radius of 3 miles from the blast, and beyond this distance damage, although comparatively light, extended for several more miles

The bomb at Hiroshima had damaged spread more by fire and fallout due to wind conditions rather than impact. It's why I specifically said about wind direction and specifically picked The Arndale as it was over the 3 mile distance and specifically said "people stood outside".

Have you two not realised how boring these comments are to others who are reading an interesting thread?

The Arndale is significantly inside the 12 mile radius of damage resultant from the Hiroshima blast - I'd guess you'd have damaged eardrums and cuts of varying severity from the scenario you suggest.

The bomb idea is just too risky, how about a plane?

you could say that about every thread on the forum, especially off-topic, that you guys intervene in.

The damage radius wasn't 12 miles, it was 3 miles. Damage was seen "up to 12 miles away". Up to is not a radius in every direction, it is the maximum distance which any damage at all was felt

Nice for a mod, that.

I'm refusing to scroll back however many pages to find out how a cracking thread on the etihad campus can possibly have turned into a discussion about the radius that the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings could kill someone if they happened in Manchester.

I'm sure there's a relevance somewhere...

 

[Leyther]

12 miles is a radius outside of which no damage was recorded.

Back on track.......the space which has been excavated near the Beswick shops will be a car park, behind the shops is a rugby pitch...
