Scary, it never ceases to amaze me how much nuclear power was flying around in the cold war, and since it seems the russians like to do things big (biggest planes, tanks, helicoptors, etc.) it's no surprise that bombs were in that catagory. But such an explosion ie enough to make me shiver.

I suppose that we should consider ourselves lucky that the cold war is over then. Also given todays technology they could most likelly make that bomb even bigger.
