Russian spymachine, possible alien spotted near Gold Dome

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

This morning, a top-secret vessel of some sort — probably a manned missile capable of completely destroying our freedoms — was spotted near the Gold Dome.

Atlanta after an asteroid or nuke bomb … thanks, Google!

Monday, December 29th, 2008

If Atlanta were unfortunate enough to be targeted by a nuclear bomb — or maybe got caught in the way of an asteroid — the results, as you can imagine, wouldn’t be pretty.

And the kind souls at CarlosLabs used the power of Google Maps to create a tool that lets you know just how far away you better be if you absolutely must navigate your way out of a mushroom cloud hellhole.

Visit the tool to see how many of history’s most famous atomic weapons would impact your friends and neighbors in Atlanta, or anywhere else around the world. Some screenshots of how the metro region would fare after a nuclear bomb and an asteroid’s impact are after the jump.
