What, that's a problem? :P

So, my friend and I did some research, and figured that if we could detonate the bombs mid-air, we would be /mostly/ safe. Obviously Tarja would still have to toss up a shield, buuuut. Or we could shoot down whatever's currently carrying them over. Unfortunately both of these would require diverting attention from the current main issue.

My friend also brings up the fact that shooting down the carrier /might/ piss off the Celestrine. Or it could just not be plane-launched at all, given the post-Esch technology.

The first point I brought up would probably require Tarja working with Dante to boost his telekinetic range, and him actually setting off the charges.

And after the initial explosion, there'd be an implosion -- the high pressure and sudden vacuum would kill basically anything, or at least, their physical forms.

*Stabs pride repeatedly* Umm...how did you figure that out? (Wants to figure out the problem myself tonight)

I have no idea what you're talking about.

There aren't plains delivering them, they're being fired from the missile batteries on the assault vehicle we rode in. Rather like this.

And Zaccheus wouldn't really care about his property getting destroyed, anyway, especially with something this big going on. He honestly might show up here in person if things don't take a turn for the better...

So, to be honest, a 100ft drop isn't going to save us. Even if we do escape the initial fiery explosion and pressure shockwave, the resulting implosion will just pull our innards out through our mouths.

I think detonating them mid-air would be the better course of action.

...I'll just finish Kadia's piece and look it up.

No, seriously, I have no idea what's wrong.

...your head...?
It is something we likely talked about before, and I just have to deal with it when it comes up (as it did). I know you'll worry, but don't.

I still don't know what you're talking about. FB me if necessary.

Oh, also, if you're referring to my avatar, this outfit is what I had in mind for the male version when Batty and I were designing Dullahan.

Dullahan!!!

Ack...one word!

Well, technically Harrowing Harbinger, but it was what we called it before it had an actual name.

Can someone help me find some equations to help see how far up the detonation would need to be to be less harmful?

I don't think there's a set equation. I'm assuming 100ft isn't gonna save us because of videos.

Umm...not sure an airborn explosion will help...
Ballistic Missile Jericho I - can deliver a 1000 kg payload.
TNT equivalent of 1000 kg ~ 4.184 x 10^9 J of energy...
I am looking up dispersal radius right now...
