Appealling to your curiosity in a macabre manner

Being a child of the 70's the cold war is something I grew up with and have always found the imagery and psychology pretty fascinating from when the wind blows to mushroom clouds its pretty iconic stuff



...and having been an army brat and lived in Germany amongst other places videos like this have always been quite interesting


But this google maps application passed through my inbox recently and its quite fascinating and rather depressing. Essentially it allows you to see how a nuclear attack would effect your town or area/country and you can dial up the size of device, see pressure, fall out etc. Clearly all based on modeling etc but another fascinating use of Google maps.



Amazing what people can do online now isn't it.
