Quote from: judge death on Feb 24, 2014, 03:52:46 PMNebraska is still far bigger than 3 miles or 30km, Bishop say 3 miles in one line and nebraska in another, when they fly away it seems to be 3 miles but I dunno.
He never says 3 miles. The line is:
"How long 'til it blows?" - Hicks
"Four hours. With a blast radius of 30 kilometres; equal to about 40 megatons." - Bishop
Don't forget that's
radius too, so the blast is actually 60km (nearly 40 miles) across from one side to the other.
As for the Nebraska thing, I'm happy for an actual American to correct me, but I believe saying something is "the size of Nebraska" is just an American figure of speech for something that's large. I've heard it used in other films too, and they weren't literally talking about the size of the state.
