After watching the nuclear bomb I thought 737-800 is not a long haul aircraft. How much fuel could be aboard!
Maximum Range 3,115 nautical miles For comparasion
A380 is 9755
Typical cruising air speed for long-distance commercial passenger flights is 475–500 knots (878–926 km/h; 546–575 mph).

So, how much fuel could be in her belly???
A nuclear bomb worth ??????
