The Sedan Crater (USA)
The Sedan test, July 6, 1962.
The 104 kiloton thermonuclear device was buried 635 feet below ground level.
The force of the detonation released seismic energy equivalent to an earthquake of 4.75 magnitude on the Richter Scale.
The blast moved 6.5 million cubic yards of earth and rock up to 290 feet in the air.
The resulting crater was 1280 feet across and 320 feet deep.
