Most Powerful U.S. Nuclear Bomb Being Dismantled

Most Powerful U.S. Nuclear Bomb Being Dismantled

The last of the nation's most powerful nuclear bombs -- a weapon hundreds of times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima -- is being disassembled nearly half a century after it was put into service at the height of the Cold War.

Senh: I had imagine these things to be a lot bigger than just a minivan. Apparently it's 600 times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. What kind of impact can that do? Destroy an entire country?
