How Destructive are Nuclear Bombs Today?

 

With everything going on with tension between North Korea and the United States, you have to wonder, what would a Nuclear blast of today look like?  Lot's have changed since the first Atomic Bomb in 1945.

Let's see how strong these bombs are throughout the years.  Manhattan will be used as a reference.

The following graphs and pictures were created by Tech Insider.
