Google Nukes

Via Wired comes word that the Australian coding company Carlos Labs has created a new, delightfully eschatalogical Google Maps mashup, in which you can drop a nuclear bomb anywhere in the world and calculate the radius of damage, from the poiint at which every building destroyed to the fringe of thermal incineration and shock wave damage. Not only can you pinpoint Ground Zero, you can select the intensity of the blast, from Hiroshima to an asteroid impact. We figure that from our Crown Heights headquarters, we can survive at least a Nagasaki dropped in midtown. Our editors, on the other hand, are shit outta luck.
