This literally "shook" the world
Ladies and gentlemen i give you the most powerful nuclear(thermonuclear) detonation in the history of mankind. The TSAR BOMBA yield 50MT
the Tsar Bomba mushroom cloud.
The Tsar Bomba's massive fireball, measuring 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) in diameter, touched the ground and nearly reached the altitude of the deploying Tu-95 bomber

Tsar Bomba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane, and was seen and felt almost 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from ground zero. The heat from the explosion could have caused third degree burns 100 km (62 miles) away from ground zero. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 64 kilometres (40 mi) high (nearly seven times higher than Mount Everest) and 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide. The explosion could be seen and felt in Finland, breaking windows there and in Sweden. Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) away. The seismic shock created by the detonation was measurable even on its third passage around the Earth.[6] Its seismic body wave magnitude was about 5 to 5.25.[7] The energy yield was around 7.1 on the Richter scale[citation needed], but since the bomb was detonated in air rather than underground, most of the energy was not converted to seismic waves.
