  • Yesterday was the anniversary of the detonation of "Ivy Mike", the first thermonuclear weapon to utilize the H-bomb design in 1952. Here’s the Movietone report on this event.
    Pictures just released of the first Hydrogen Bomb experiment held by the United States in the Pacific, show the effects of the tremendous explosion. With total destruction within a radius of three miles, the centre of any city in the world could be obliterated.
    (Material shot Nov. 52. Released March 1954). Cut story - KS. Mushroom cloud. Shot of map showing the Islands. Mix to aerial shots of the sea. Shot of the American ship "Estes". The operation was called "Operation Ivy". Shot of bough cutting water. Aerial view of the Marshal Islands. VG. Various shots of special building erected on Eniwetok Atoll. Shots of various measuring devices being fitted by scientists. Various shots of apparatus. Interior shots of high ranking officials. Various shots dials, gauges etc. Shots of officers on board ship. One officers explains what will happen when they let off the H Bomb. Men put on glasses. Shots of firing switches. CU man counting out the seconds. Various shots of giant explosion. Shock wave coming across the sea. Men on board ship watch explosion. Various shots of cloud and mushroom shape going into the air. Shots of helicopter flying over the target area. The island had completely disappeared leaving a large crater in the sea. Map drawing of island and crater on same. Fade to GV of St. Paul's. More shots of the islands. Another view of the explosion with New York super-imposed over same. Elevated view and GV of the Houses of Parliament. GV of long River Thames. Fade to Tower Bridge. Diagrams of height and width of explosion. Diagram of radius of devastation. More shots of explosion.

      @J. Blabla We're all bad guy's. If not for Japan attacking at Pearl Harbor the United States would have continued to take an isolationist stance to the atrocities the Nazi's were committing in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Had the United States never entered we probably would have had an eventual mutal understanding with the Nazis. We're only the good guys because we like to believe such things. Trump has proven we are rapidly becoming the next Nazi regime.

    • @845835
      @845835 3 года назад +1

      @J. Blabla Everything you said is on a whole new level of stupid. Just the fact that somehow Trump is the least racist President in your so-called honest opinion even though the last President was black. An idiot like you would claim that Trump knows more about the problems of the black community than those who actually live there. It's not like Obama can be seen as a reverse racist against whites seeing how when he entered office we were already experiencing the worst economic collapse since The Great Depression and during the years to follow the economy kept getting better, especially for Wall Street, white America, and the 1%. It wasn't like when Obama left office blacks were all of a sudden doing better than whites. The gains made by minorities under Obama were pretty much the result of a rising tide lifts all boats and nothing more. When Obama came into office it truly was a feeling of hope for blacks and even though he was and still is looked upon as a rock star to many who voted for him in 2008 the fact is there are just as many who see his Presidency as an enormous disappointment. I give the guy credit for the fact that when he left office the economy was in great condition compared to when he entered but other than that he really wasn't anything special. As for troops in the Middle East region it was under the Obama administration that saw the implementation of troops being drawn down. Only as a lame duck President has Trump shown any true initiative to reduce troops and that is after he increased the number of troops in Afghanistan in 2019 to the highest levels they had been since 2015. Wow, Trump is so brave to pull troops out of the Middle East while being dragged out the door. With the exception of 2019, which saw an increase in troop level in Afghanistan the fact is the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have barely changed since Obama left office. People will try and fault Obama for increasing troop levels in Afghanistan after entering office but those people fail to remember that he actually promised to reduce the number of troops in Iraq while increasing the presence in Afghanistan when he was running for President. He saw Iraq for the deliberate mistake it was but he also recognized that the threat in Afghanistan was still very real. Why is it so easy to prove schmucks like you wrong? Is it because you get your info from actual fake news or other like minded idiots that say incorrect $hit and then someone like you fails to do your own research to see if it is actually true and repeats it? Biden is in for a very bumpy ride for when he enters office seeing how Trump spent more time golfing than leading and has left a $hit show for him. 100% guaranteed that when the foreclosures start happening Tools like you will pretend that it's Biden's fault and not the fault of the previous Presidency where it all began. Idiots acted the same way about the mortgage crisis when Obama came into office even though the collapse started under Bush.

      @-KillaWatt- 4 года назад +8

      Hypothetically? An antimatter bomb would be far more powerful in terms of explosive power. To give context. One gram of antimatter would have a yield equal to the nuclear explosion we see in this video. Keep in mind that such a weapon is not within our technological capabilities at this time. As it stand the only way we can create antimatter is inside particle accelerators like the LHC (Large Hadron Collidor). Often times this isn't controlled and these particles are a by-product of smashing elements together at nearly the speed of light. The antimatter that is created is annihilated immediately. This is because when regular matter comes into contact with antimatter they convert each other into pure energy. This is where we would get the boom in a bomb.
