I always figured if we had to be afraid of an Islamic sourced nuclear weapon in the eastern US, the delivery mechanism would be something low tech like this. The vast numbers make it difficult, if not totally impossible, to check thoroughly. None of this is to say that this is what's actually happened here, but it's easy to imagine.
Fortunately for me, I now live upwind and far enough away so that I don't have to fear any immediate problems. It may seem a little nuts to worry about that sort of thing, but I think of it like insurance. If it costs you close to nothing to give yourself that extra protection, then why not?

That looks like a 9mt explosion - not a very likely scenario for a terrorist device

If something that big went off, Tom would need to replace all his windows.
Well actually, it's more likely that the boat will be near Newark airport in Elizabeth when it goes off rather than in downtown Manhattan where the map is centered. I only chose this map because it looked cool. But I think I'd still be OK, as will Frith who's south of me.
So we got that going for us.
Carl Spackler in Caddyshack......
So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga.
So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, ‘Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.’ And he says, ‘Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.’
So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.”

I read someplace that they actually hated each other, and everyone was afraid they would come to blows on the set as they had years before on SNL. But both acted professionally.
There are guys on Wall Street who can quote you the entire movie, word for word.
Didnt know tensions existed.. When yu said "we got that goin for us" the light bulb went off...Dangerfield was uuderloved.
I can quote for the most part but I have to be drunk to do so. Probably because I am always drinking when I am watching it.Same for Airplane.
