I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn't have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock... the best I could get out might be, "Well, fuck."

How about you?

"Oh, that's a big one!"

If that was here in Finland, I would of course be scared because you need a lot of explosives to produce a mushroom cloud, and that would probably mean that:

  1. our military has been storing a sizable part of its munitions in one place AND
  2. one our eastern neighbours has apparently developed a will to rid our army of its munitions.

...which would mean that some country would be planning to attack us soon.

So, I would probably start preparing for a war. Maybe go buy a lot of food, at least?

In some country further from the Russia I would probably assume it's something non-military. Maybe some form of a very large fertilizer storage? It would be kind of less scary, but of course that would mean a decreased farming output for the next season, and that would be shitty.

    Yeah. The thing is: For a moment you forget that. I saw one for real. Planned big ass explosion. I knew beforehand and was specifically there for it and invited by the goverment agency doing it.

    But for a very short moment you forget that and your brain goes full on monkey mode.
