Hooooolllly crap.....we always see (in movies) how a distant nuclear explosion looks like a medium-sized mushroom cloud on the horizon (sort of neat, tidy....not too big from a distant perspective but obviously powerful etc etc)...
Until I saw this video clip
This is footage from the largest and most powerful Nuclear bomb ever tested....(wait until the end where they show the cloud expanding on the horizon, behind the houses....obviously miles away)....IT FILLS THE ENTIRE SKY!!!!

I am so glad the cold war is over. This video gave me shivers down my spine!
According to the video, the FIREBALL is 110 miles wide!
