Death Metal: An Apocalyptic Story
previous blog article on subject:a 100 ton Monster Missile named Satan from Russia
I read about a new Russian Missile that is a 100 ton missile that they call Satan today. I then started reading about the author Pat Frank and his book, Alas, Babylon 1959
that I read in the early 1960s about a nuclear holocaust in the U.S. Only I thought it might be interesting instead to write a short piece about a 100 megaton Hydrogen Bomb missile Blast at 100 miles up above the U.S. and what the EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) would do to EVERY civilian electrical device or Electrical generating station in the U.S.
note: 100 miles up is 528,000 feet in altitude. Likely if a hydrogen bomb of any size went off at that altitude there might not be any sound because it is just so high. But there might be a concussion or change in air pressure or some other kind of experience in the air. Also, it would be so far away that even if you happened by accident to be looking directly at it you might not go blind as you would if you were within 10 miles of it here on earth. My motivation is as an intuitive wishing this not to happen. By making more people aware of what could happen it creates people to stop it from happening. By just pretending like children that this won't happen doesn't stop it. What stops this from happening is enough people aware of it to stop it. So, because of North Korea and Iran and all the problems now in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria etc. I write this to make us all realize just how high the stakes really are with all the changes and unrest now on earth.
quote from wikipedia on nuclear bombs subsection "Hydrogen bombs": The other basic type of nuclear weapon produces a large amount of its energy through nuclear fusion reactions. Such fusion weapons are generally referred to as thermonuclear weapons or more colloquially as hydrogen bombs (abbreviated as H-bombs), as they rely on fusion reactions between isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium). However, all such weapons derive a significant portion, and sometimes a majority, of their energy from fission. This is because a fission weapon is required as a "trigger" for the fusion reactions, and the fusion reactions can themselves trigger additional fission reactions.[10] Only six countries—United States, Russia, United Kingdom, People's Republic of China, France and India—have conducted thermonuclear weapon tests. (Whether India has detonated a "true", multi-staged thermonuclear weapon is controversial.)[11] All thermonuclear weapons are considered to be much more difficult to successfully design. end quote.
