Airburst vs Ground Burst: How Nuclear Bomb Detonations Change Destruction, Fallout, and Survival

The air had turned into a thick, yellowish-green soup that smelled of burning hair and raw sulfur. It was not a fog. It was an executioner. Over the next four days, twelve thousand Londoners would choke to death in their own beds, murdered by the very fireplaces they lit to keep warm.
