The one on the left looks like it would be full of really volatile shit.

I follow along the gcaption website weekly you'd be amazed how many times stuff like happens.  One the best ones was a ship scraped along the bank and took out a house.  Somewhere in France I think.   Millions of dollars worth of ship and technology and yet they still manage to find each other or something else to smack into.

I think the black ship won that one.

It listened to it’s HS football coach and got low.

That's a helluva game of chicken.  I think both captains technically won.

Two Canadian vessels?  What's the maritime etiquette there...which captain says, "Sorry" first and which one says it the most times?

Here is a good read for you - The Great Halifax Explosion; about 2 vessels in Halifax harbour in December 1917, they manage to collide. One of them is a munitions ship, and the resulting explosion was the largest ever until Hiroshima.

Don’t f around with bears. Even the smaller black bears like that can f you up. A woman in NM got attacked by one yesterday in Los Alamos, on the porch of the ski lodge, where she’d gone to see the comet. https://www.abqjournal.com/1477163/los-alamos-woman-seriously-injured-in-bear-attack.html

He smelled canned salmon is all. Poor guy.

Wtf. No video?

The Halifax read and images would have been a "holy shit" moment.  Furk, it blew all the water out of the blast site, at least temporarily.

Thanks for that @Wally Fairway. This has led me down a rabbit hole. I hadn’t heard about this. I’m definitely going to spend more time on it. 
 

While definitely one of the largest ever non-nuclear explosions at an estimated 2.9 kilotons of TNT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_artificial_non-nuclear_explosions) it wasn’t the largest pre-Hiroshima. There was this little test called Trinity in NM, which had a yield of 22 kilotons of TNT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_(nuclear_test)). Hiroshima was 15 kilotons (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima_bomb), and Nagasaki was 21 kilotons (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_man). 

The biggest ever exploded was the Tsar Bomba from the USSR (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba) at 50 megatons. Think about that. Megatons, not kilotons. Millions of tons of TNT. It was designed for 100 megatons. The 50 megaton yield “is equivalent to about 1,570 times the combined energy of the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki,[20] 10 times the combined energy of all the conventional explosives used in World War II,[21] one quarter of the estimated yield of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa and 10% of the combined yield of all nuclear tests to date.“

The largest ever designed by the US was the B53, with an estimated yield of 9 megatons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B53_nuclear_bomb
 

These numbers are almost incomprehensible. Thank God we never used them. For a chilling realization of how close we came, check out Command and Control by Schlosser (https://www.amazon.com/Command-Control-Damascus-Accident-Illusion/dp/0143125788/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1595428876&sr=8-1) and The Dead Hand, by Hoffman (https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Hand-Untold-Dangerous-Legacy/dp/0307387844). Both outstanding books.

Yeah, Tsar bomba was insanity.  They gave the pilot only a 50% chance of surviving it.  When detonation occurred, the shock wave caught up with the Tu-95V at a distance of 115 km (71 mi) and the Tu-16 at 205 km (127 mi). The Tu-95V dropped 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) in the air because of the shock wave but was able to recover and land safely

Also the shockwave was so powerful it prevented the fireball from touching down.

Oh, and if you want to have fun, you can use nukemap to drop a bomb of various sizes, including the Tsar bomba.  Countdown to you guys dropping it on Bryan College Station in 3, 2, 1

Challenge accepted.  This is with the full 100 megaton design of the Tsar Bomba.  Edit:  You drop that same bomb over Tokyo (currently the world's largest city by population), the modelling shows 13.5MM fatalities, 14.5MM injured.  HS indeed.

Drop it on magnolia instead, should take care of the station as well as the better part of Houston that way. Would be our best chance at a clean Galveston bay in a few million years.
