World's most powerful nuclear explosion

The world's largest nuclear explosion too place in Russia in 1961, watch video:



Explosion is a sudden increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures. A nuclear explosion occurs as a result of the rapid release of energy from an intentionally high-speed nuclear reaction. The largest nuclear weapon ever tested was the "Tsar Bomba" of the Soviet Union at Novaya Zemlya on October 30, 1961, with an estimated yield of around 50 megatons. The heat from the explosion could have caused third degree burns for people 100 km (62 miles) away. People in Norway and Sweden told windshields were shattered or cracked. The most recent nuclear test was announced by North Korea on May 25, 2009. The nuclear countries have conducted over 2,000 nuclear test explosions up to date

Russian Submarine Wreck Found On The Seabed

Russian scuba divers dived for the first time ever to explore the wreck soviet submarine that was drowned off Bulgaria shore at the Black Sea at the time of the world war 2. This is supposed to be the submarine of the soviet Black Sea Navy L-24, that drowned in 1942. All 57 crew members then died. The most probable cause of drowning seems to have been the explosion of sea mine, believe the scuba divers, who discovered a big hole in the submarine's left board. The joint Russian-Bulgarian expedition "Bow to the Great Victory's Warships" has been taking place before the forthcoming celebration of the 65-th anniversary of the victory over the fascist Germany in the World War II. A memorial plate to honor the submarine crew is being planned to be mounted on the submarine's framework.
