No one is talking about a ship parked in a harbor. Why?

[sam_paine]

A ship parked in a harbor, by definition, must detonate -below- the level of the city, so the blast wouldn't be nearly as effective as these estimates of airblasts.

Again, such a nuke, or even a dirty bomb wouldn't even be as effective at spreading radiation as a small housefire burning irradiated fuel.

Nor are they talking about one of the thousands of uninspected shipping containers that go through our ports daily and are then loaded on a tractor trailer and carried throughout the US.
