The new Terminal 1 at New York's JFK Airport is nothing if not BIG. The terminal soars above the future aircraft ramp, dwarfing the old Terminal 1 and encompassing the AirTrain tracks.

With less than a year until it opens, join me on a hardhat tour of the terminal: thepointsguy.com/news/new-yor...

I periodically come across the image below, with the caption claiming that it is showing a German plan to use an atomic bomb against NYC, or at least an attempt to imagine the effects of such a weapon against NYC.

It's actually MUCH stranger than that.
