Well, about the nuke thing, it looked like it was in this year or a few years back (Thus making George Bush president :O) So there for say, omg beast, nuke it. And there you go, And seeing that when hud stares at the beast. He dosent have a scratch on him, nor did his lung thingys on his head "Pop" So I really really doubt a nuke will kill it, and if you look in the background where they carry rob away and he goes back for the camera, Looking at the background, New York looked like it was nuked already. (not saying they did but) a monster doing that much damage on 1 city and all the rockets, tanks, bullest, air coverage they had and dident kill it, well, They only balsted it 1000 of miles away and probably sent it to londan or something. O; part 2 please

Notice they had multiple explosions. If they deployed a nuke I would expect they'd choose a payload large enough to be done in only one deliver. I especially doubt they'd do quick successions.

Neutron bombs are an air burst technology I believe. I discussed them with a friend that had done nuke stuff in the Air Force, and he said they do more physical damage locally than you might be led to believe, and leave more residual radiation than you might be led to believe. It's more a matter of being able to go back in months or years instead of centuries.

Air bursts have minimal radiation, but besides that point, it wasn't nuclear even though that's what I was expecting. Even an air burst would of fried the camera.

i dont think it was a nuke. the person on the first page states all the logical facts as to why it wasnt a nuke. It probably was just carpet bombing, and just really really deadly explosives. i dont think they would risk spreading radiation to other parts of new york/the world just to get rid of a monster in manhattan.

The siren thing bothers me. The stealth bomber carpet bombed MGP right before MGP took out the chopper they were in. During that carpet bombing and before it while they were still on the ground I couldn't hear any sirens. It kinda makes sense that you couldn't hear the sirens while they were in the chopper, but while they were on the ground? The HammerDown sirens were set to go off two minutes before (insert whatever bomb or bombs it was) hit. I don't know if the siren simply was meant to signal a larger less targeted strike or a nuke.

I'm still unsure what bomb or bombs were used at the end.

I REALLY don't think it was a nuke, it wasn't one blast it was many small blasts that buried the camera. also:
1. no huge flash of lightk
2. dropping even a small nuke would blow away Jersey City, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, I don't think they would be able to evacuate all those areas and I REALLY doubt that they would consider that acceptable losses
3. radiation would blanket everything for at least 100 miles around the blast, 100 square miles of east coast heavily populated areas, I REALLY doubt the army would do this.

no army would be that crazy, no I get the feeling it was more along the lines of MOAB and carpet bombing.

Also, Washington DC is rather close, if the wind blows towards there, Washington is as good as evacuated.
