‘World War 3 has begun’: Mystery mushroom cloud sparks Armageddon panic as ‘nuclear’ pics go viral

Oy.

If the article is to be believed (who knows anymore), photos taken over the Russian city of Tyumen caused “panic” because some people believed they were looking at a nuclear explosion mushroom cloud:

As I said… oy. It’s like people have never seen clouds before.

Sigh.

And through sheer random chance, I saw this cloud today. Clearly this is a mushroom cloud from a smaller nuke, I’d estimate in the 40 to 50 kiloton range. Yeah.
