@wellerstein Is this really accurate, re firestorm et al. Exceeds Nukemap estimates by far. http://thebulletin.org/what-would-happen-if-800-kiloton-nuclear-warhead-detonated-above-midtown-manhattan8023 …
@Cornubot NUKEMAP's model is mostly based on blast effects because fire, esp. in a concrete-urban environment, is hard to predict.

@wellerstein@Cornubot Interestingly, you use different airburst altitudes: Bulletin 1.1 mi, Nukemap 1.8 mi. Different target hardness calc? -
@MartinSebesta@Cornubot Bomb height depends on what blast pressure range you want to maximize. For 800kt, 1.8 mi = 5 psi, 1.1 mi = 15 psi. -
@wellerstein@Cornubot@wellerstein@Cornubot Yes, I know. So Manhattan almost all buildings ”hard” - they increased psi, I guess.

@wellerstein@Cornubot concept of firestorm is scientifically debated. Dresden?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
