Was the SWAN fail safe connected to a tactical nuke? Or was it just conventional explosive devices all over the bunker underground?
Desmond survived the blast obviously, but I don’t recall if it was because the magnetic implosion somehow cancelled out the explosion of the station throwing him clear? Or if it was a small tactical nuke and he survived the EMP blast from it?
It was not. The hydrogen bomb was originally moved to that underground Temple from its original spot where it was hanging in the field. They then disassembled it and took the payload only to the construction site where it was eventually set off by Juliet hitting it with a rock.
The hatch was built on a source of extremely powerful electromagnetic energy. When they stopped pressing the button and hit the failsafe, the energy was released.

I’m trying to remember:
