The rapid expansion of the hydrogen bombs' "mushroom cloud" explosion scares me. One minute it's just a bomb a few feet wide, and then within the space of about 2 seconds after impact there is this giant 10 mile wide mushroom. It baffles me how these weapons can be tested without blowing our planet to bits. Things are at a stage now where entire cities can be removed from the world map, regardless of size, with one missile.
Hopefully it will never come to that. Hopefully diplomacy and common sense will win the day. But the fact that there is even potential still makes this a scary world to live in if you consider the possibilities.
