Hell on Earth. Washington, DC, Possibly Sometime in the Near Future
A 1-megaton thermonuclear weapon detonation begins with a flash of light and heat so tremendous it is impossible for the human mind to comprehend. One hundred and eighty million degrees Fahrenheit is four or five times hotter than the temperature at the center of the sun.
In the first fraction of a millisecond after the bomb strikes the Pentagon, there is light. Soft X-ray light with a very short wavelength. The light superheats the surrounding air to millions of degrees, creating a massive fire-ball that expands at millions of miles per hour. Within seconds, this fireball increases to a diameter of a little more than a mile, its light and heat so intense that concrete surfaces explode, metal objects melt or evaporate, stone shatters, humans instantaneously convert into combusting carbon. The five-story, five-sided structure and everything inside its 6.5 million square feet of office space explodes into superheated dust; all 27,000 Pentagon employees perishing instantly.
Not a single thing in the fireball remains. Nothing. Ground zero is zeroed.

The rest of the country would celebrate?
DC wouldn’t be the only place gone. Think of any area with a heavy US military presence. Northern plains and AFBs would be primary targets as well to prevent retaliation.
I don’t think many people grasp just how big a 2-mile fireball really is.
Finally ... someone talking sense on the matter.
OK, you win the thread.
No, wait, Chode.
mikey_hates_everything wins the thread too.
The Great Reset has been in slow motion for decades. Recently pedal to the metal.
The politicians and big money seem so bent on destroying the US, not sure they would be against it.
We are merely eggs in the globalist omelette.
I think you forgot the Infernal Revenue Service...
you posters have not read the excerpt or you wouldnt have posted these stupid post. this is not funny
read the excerpt then try to post your childish posts
If the attack were delivered from a hostile power using ICBMs and SLBMs, the DC area would probably be hit by several nukes. Arlington Hall, Langley, Andrews Air Force Base and Camp David would also be among the targets.
Once I got done laughing my ass off and celebrating, I’d try to figure out which way the fallout was drifting and possiby make preparations.
no..what a stupid comment. it would be horrible and we would be lucky to have any civilization for several generations.
P
The initial explosion would be considered a mere pop after the swamp gas was lit and generated a secondary explosion that took out the entire East Coast.
I watched “Jericho” faithfully when it was on CBS. Great show.
I’ve recently started watching it again on Paramount Plus. I find it more unsettling than when it originally aired.
A great reminder of how good it would be to avoid going to hell, which would be a lot worse and last a lot longer, by believing that God has saved only those who believe in the salvation offered to us by the death of Christ for our sins. He is a holy God and no sin can come into his presence. All of our sins, past present and future, must be forgiven by Christ by grace through faith alone. before we can come into His presence.
Season 1 was great. That show had potential. Oh well.
