Cannikin was a 5 megaton bomb. The Russian Tsar Bomba was a 50 megaton above ground test which was the largest ever test. Here is a video about it. It would apparently annihilate everything within a 15 mile radius and much beyond that obviously. I grew up thinking that nuclear war may be the end of the world but realistically I don't think that is a possibility anymore.
