I can't imagine what anything 600 times louder than Hiroshima would sound like just like I can't imagine what any thing NASA Discovers A Super-Distant Galaxy That's 300 Trillion Times Brighter Than The Sun would be like.

It wasn’t a natural eruption...

“’The first explosion…our ears were ringing and we couldn’t even hear each other’”

I do not want to make light of the serious plight that these people were obviously in, but it’s fairly obvious these people haven’t ever been to an NHL game (or any other North American sporting event) with the loud music and sound effects aimed at the ADD crowd.

Wouldn't be surprised if the entire population of Tonga (about 100,000) is relocated to New Zealand.

The Tsar Bomba bomb was 1570 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb.

I saw a video that had the sound of the sonic boom it created. It was very loud. And this was from quite a fair distance from the blast. The blast was heard in Alaska. The shockwave went around the earth. Several sensing stations picked up the outbound and then the reciprocal inbound shockwaves.

Well, that really is pretty big, but it’s important to note that as bombs go, Hiroshima wasn’t all that big. The destruction was mostly a result of the japanese construction being highly flamable, and when exposed to heat it all went up.

Now, if they compared it to the Tsar Bomba, that would be something. :)

Since Hiroshima is officially listed at 15 Kilotons, 600 times bigger for Tonga equates to 9 Megatons. Not a small blast.

However, as comparison, Mount St. Helens was estimated at 24 Megatons. Just a wee bit bigger.

If we haven’t already, we need to develop the Volcanator.

A sudden volcano near Moscow would put any Ukraine invasion on hold. Plus it offers plausible deniability.

“Volcano? No we didn’t do anything. Sorry about your luck.”

FYI. It didn’t say 600 times louder. It said 600 times more powerful. I don’t think they translate the same.

At a human level, measuring sounds this “loud” is pointless. The range then becomes something between “wah-wah-wah” and “internal organ damage”.
