Here’s What Would Happen if a Nuclear Bomb Exploded in the Mariana Trench

***Update***: The correct video is now embedded.

…

Here’s another delightful thought experiment: What would happen if you dropped the most powerful nuclear weapon we have in the deepest part of the world’s oceans?

The folks at Kurzgesagt walk us through what would happen in the Mariana Trench if such a feat were possible… and the answer was not at all what I first suspected.

The video comes in response to a video by “Ridddle” answering the same question that went viral earlier this year… and contained all kinds of misinformation.

Now that it’s all settled, we’ll just have to figure out a new way to destroy the world. Back to work, everyone.
