The nuke one is a little misunderstood. Depending on the explosive power of the warhead it could have easily caused a shock wave that traveled extremely vast distances, which would also be aided by a higher detonation height.

Of course, this is just a minor dent in the massive problem, but still... I'm a nitpicker.
