Looks like an atom bomb.

The way I understand it, when one of those really goes it makes atom bombs look like firecrackers.

Amazing pictures.

this is true. Krakatoa was a huge one:

The explosion is considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in modern history, with reports of it being heard nearly 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from its point of origin. The shock wave from the explosion was recorded on barographs around the globe.
