If a nuclear bomb went off in London would the whole of England explode? Would you hear it in Bristol?

The effect of the bomb depends on how big it is. The major effects are blast, heat and radiation, and they would reach out from "ground zero" depending on the size of the bomb. London is a big city, so very likely the effects would be limited to London, not the whole of England.

I recollect seeing 200,000 to 250,000 for both cities, including the aftermath.  The Hiroshima bomb was a low yield 15 kiloton device.  The strategic devices today are around 400-500, while the tactical nukes range from .3 to 200.  Some world we live in.

All of Europe is very close to becoming a totalitarian islamic state.  Britain is on this path but nowhere near as close as France, Germany, Belgium etc.  Europe is too busy worrying about the genocide that they are about to become victims of, to laugh at anybody, particularly, relatively safe, Britain.

England has enemies within; remember the london subway bombing? England allies with nations in the NATO.

You would be locked up in the tower of London for the amusement of her maj and the delictation of American tourists. The money would be valueless, so if you have any please send them to me for suitable destruction.

a bomb destroys the world

My husband thinks it might; his favorite expression is "just drop the bomb on them." In the sense that nobody would ever again doubt that the US is the biggest, meanest dog on the block, perhaps a facsimilie of world peace might result if we blow the Middle East sky high. It would be the peace of fear, though, the modern day equivalent to Pax Romana. And, as with the fastest gun in the West, there's always somebody aiming at you from behind. I don't think nuking the Middle East is really the answer, but it's a tempting thought.

I think Amsterdam itself should be nuked.   Holland is a waste of space and the dutch are annoying.\n\n.

Blow up the entire United States? I doubt that very much. The US is far too large. Any bomb big enough to do that, would probably end the world. Literally. Any bomb big enough to do that would probably crack the earth in half, therefore ending it.\n\nNow, had you asked, Will terrorist strike the US again? I would say, most likely. They attacked the World Trade Center in 1992 or 3 then again on 9/11.  I think they have proven to have stopped some other credible attacks as well. They have attacked some of our embassies and other installations around the world too, which technically are attacks on the US.  The most recent was today or yesterday.  I just saw on the news where Muslim extremists attacked a US embassy in Europe someplace.  They said the US was really the force behind the Danish cartoons.\n\nI think it is perfectly reasonable to think that there will be another attack on Us ground. I do not know how big or small, but I think there definately will be one.

yea, great idea, oh yea what are you doing about being under threat.  funny us dumb american knows more about your country than you do..\n\nTony Blair today backed the assessment of the head of MI5 that the "very real" threat from terrorism would last a generation.\nIn a rare public speech yesterday, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, director general of the intelligence agency, expressed concern at the rate at which young people, including teenagers, were being radicalised and indoctrinated.\n\nShe said MI5 was tracking more than 1,600 individuals who were actively engaged in promoting attacks here and abroad. Many of these were British-born and had connections with al-Qaida, she said.\n\nResponding to her comments that the threat would "be with us for a generation", the prime minister said today Britain faced a "long and deep struggle" to combat the danger posed by terrorism.

I had a day off last week and my other half took me to Harlow Hertfodshire to the secret nuclear bunker Kelvedon Hatch. it was a great day out and i have told everyone i know about it ( so maybe its not quite so secret any more)  It is a bunker made for during the cold war or threat of nuclear attack last used in 1994. completley hidden you would never know it was there. Check out the web site www.secretnuclearbunker.co.uk.really interesting day.  ENJOY

Does the word accident come to mind? Wrong target? ETC.If just to kill people were the reason,the bomb would've been a nuke.
