Forum:No Craters?

Okay, I was playing through Fallout 3 again, and I was wondering, if the world was so fucking nuked that almost everything died and there's still radiation 200+ years later, why is it that there are no freaking craters? I mean, don't BOMBS leave giant ass craters in the ground, and if a city was NUKED wouldn't there be at least several ones of these, or are they pulling a Courage the Cowardly Dog and the bombs pass right through buildings and shit and only give off radiation. I mean, honestly, someone slacked off, because there should be MOUNTAINS OF RUINS NOT JUST FOUNDATIONS FOR BUILDINGS AND FREAKING CRATERS!!!! Sombar1 21:36, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

To maximize casualties, a nuclear weapon would usually be detonated several thousand feet in the air. Subterranean detonations are pretty much just for testing purposes. 97.123.51.253 01:15, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I was just wondering because I thought it was just slacking in development, but what you said makes sense thanks man. Sombar1

When the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima they used a tri-bridge in the middle of the city as a targeting point. That bridge was one of the few structures in the city left standing after the blast. Bad-People 04:00, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
