Still Mildly Glowing
So, they were hiding in a wrecked airliner, which apparently crashed on top of a nuclear bomb (or the other way around, result's the same). In there they survived two hours of nuclear madness (US capital = more nukes) and atleast two years (without supplies and proper shelter) of waiting for the fall-out (and ofcourse the FEV) to settle. My take on Megaton's founders' fate? Ghoulification or annihilation.chaosapiant said:So without shelter, they sought refuge in a large crater made by a large megaton bomb (though not due to an explosion of the bomb) and a large commercial aircraft.
Don't count on it, since aircraft bombs are usually not shot from orbit and will disintegrate in the atmosphere as DexterMorgan already said. ICBM's are possible, but that's another piece of (semi-)canon that Bethesda ignored when they created FO3.chaosapiant said:Or perhaps the bomb was dropped from satellite orbit? Farfetched, but from orbit or at least very high up, a non explosive device can still cause a huge crater from impact alone.
Never said they were. I just used ''we'' as in a regular Megaton inhabitant, either from Megaton's founding years or the present. Nothing ever changes in the Capital Wasteland anyway.chaosapiant said:Also, the people in Megaton are NOT the same people who tried to get into Vault 101. They can't be, since that was 200 years ago.
