NUKE A CITY IN 3D

New interactive map lets users nuke any place in the world - in a simulation, of course. 
 
The NUKEMAP 3D uses Google Earth images to simulate the nuclear attack, complete with mushroom clouds. I don't suppose they see human carnage simulations. 
 
But it's necessary to camouflage the warped enjoyment of nuking a city behind words such as those from historian Alex Wellerstein, of the American Institute of Physics in Maryland, creator of a series of nuclear bombing simulators.  He says the map was designed to provide a visual and accurate simulation of what would happen if a nuclear bomb was dropped on any city in the world, to give people a better understanding of how it would affect their hometowns.   
 
I don't think that the public need this gadget to understand the nightmare of nuclear warfare.  We already know what it did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Two examples that leave no room for doubt.
