Chicago: The estimated death toll from the explosion would be over 415,000, while a further 750,000 people would be injured.

The blast would shroud only a tiny portion of the spread-out city and its suburbs, with approximately half radiating over Lake Michigan.

Most of the central part of the Windy City would be destroyed, while damage would be seen as far as the Edgewater, Oak Park, and Southside neighborhoods.

People at Willis Tower and the University of Chicago would be exposed to extreme doses of radiation under this simulation, according to an explosion simulation above the South Loop neighborhood.

Those visiting the Cloud Gate sculpture, also known as “The Bean,” could experience third-degree burns.
