20,000 Megaton Atomic Bomb!!!

[Killer91]

My history teacher just informed the class that the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was a 20,000 Megaton bomb!!!!!   

For those who don't know, it was actually just a 17 Kiloton bomb and the largest atomic bomb to be detonated was a mere 50 Megatons (Tsar Bomb)..

I know exactly when you're in class and a teacher starts talking about a subject that you know way more than he/she does.

wasn't the largest known nuke detonation a hydrogen bomb rather than just an atomic bomb?

Indeed the Tsar bomb was a hydrogen bomb that produced a 50 MT yield.

Opposite for me, my history teacher has got to be one of the smartest people I our state! He knows everything from B.C to present without taking a single look from his book

Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge

Originally it was a 100 MT, but they had to downsize it do to the size, safety of the people that that to drop it and not really sure what a bomb that size will do.
