The meteor that hit the Yucatan that killed off the dinosaurs didn't do it and that was the equivalent of 10,000 times the combined arsenals of the US and Soviet Union at their peak. It was the blast wave and heat followed up by a nuclear winter that did the most damage.

Let alone a wave that would go across 1,500 miles of land! Other environmental impacts of doing that might contribute to the destruction of life, but the wave alone could not get all living things on the surface of the earth. Even then, there is life, microbial life, but life none the less in places that would not be touched. So 'all life" can not be whipped out in such a manner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319694 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
