I thought ground burst would cause maximum destruction for a nuke?

You know, I'm beginning to think we probably need to know exactly what to expect if those lunatics do something to our NYC.

What effect would it have if they really could wipe out an American City and based on the treats, looks like NY. I can't imagine it. Dear God help us all.

I think the reason the air burst does more damage is there is less concrete, etc to interfere with the blast pressure.
