- Although many rolls of 16mm film were exposed on the Trinity test, 3 rolls of 35mm black and white film were run where were called Newsreel rolls. These are the most famous shots of the Trinity test as they were photographed for unclassified distribution.
I inserted slates to identify each roll. The wide shot uses a 75mm lens, the second shot uses a 450mm telephoto lens and is aimed near the bottom of the explosion. The last shot is with a tighter telephone lens aimed at the barrage balloons.
Can you even imagine what it must have been like to witness this in person? I can't even put into words how significant of a thing this has been for human history, and there were people that got to see this with their own eyes. My guess is they never looked at the world the same way again.
They had no idea how powerful it would be, too!
J. Hanna, actually it's: ''Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds''. It's early modern English.
This real quote sums it up pretty well lol "A blind woman 150 miles (240 km) away who asked 'What's that brilliant light?'"
smsteger89 Great points. I know that visiting Trinity Site is something I will never forget.
neither will the Americans who lost family to contamination that ended many lives in NM and southern Utah
Funny to think that in Oppenhiemer, they still don't do justice to the sheer scale of this bomb like these wide-angle original reels of footage do.
That's what you get for trying to pass a gas can as a nuke

@@jimsagubigula7337 Right? I admire Nolan for trying to use practical effects, but there is no practical way to accurately emulate a nuclear blast, you have to go CGI. The Creator's first bomb for example.
The one in twin peaks does it justice
They shoulda just used the archival footage
Can you believe this much power comes from splitting something so small we can never see it
All explosion come from things we can't see
Absolutely I can. It’s the only way it makes sense.
No. You can see Uranium
It's called "Physics".
im glad they were smart enough to get the entire explosion on film. otherwise no one would be able to see a monumental achievement in nuclear physics
Rather menstrual than monumental ;-)

Good job, you can read a Wikipedia page.
The cameras were set up about 5 1/2 miles from ground zero. The blast still looks huge from that range and this was in atom bomb comparison small
My grandpa was in the Air Force at this time, he still has a fragment of when the sand melted and turned to a green glass from the heat and radiation
This substance is called “trinitite”.

@@henryroth3297 Isn't sending thier finest...to do what? In history thousands of soldiers played small parts and were part of setup or dispensary of nuclear arms and explosive flare signals to help settle distance from the explosions, and look it up, you'd be shocked to see how many people have souvenirs simply because people didn't know at the time they were radioactive, also if it is glass it's not that irradiated anyway.
0:24 Wow, cameras couldn't handle that brightness....
I’ve seen this in Oppenheimer in the theater and it was already spectacularly deadly. The sight was too much to behold. The sound produced by the shockwaves was even realistically deafening. After that scene, I was wondering how it could have felt if I was actually in that field test.
My heart was pounding leading up to it. But I have to say Nolan didn't quite replicate the horror of this.
God your so lucky! Film just started showing today it's currently 5:56am for me and I got about 12 hours until I go see it

@@snowhunter7536in france too
It was a snooze fest other than that scene
Oppenheimer was laying facedown with a couple other losalamos guys, and apparently the light from the flash "came up through the ground" into their eyes as if they were facing the blast. Scary shit.
How can something so beautiful be so deadly?
Debra Brown Perhaps we should be asking how something so deadly can be so beautiful?
Perhaps we should be asking ourselves do we kill to protect, or kill because it pleases us.
Perhaps, beauty is not part of its nature, and it only so happens to be because it is the deadliest thing on earth.
Maybe it's because we are looking at the very thing that binds everything, including us together, being used as a weapon.
Just like a woman, Beautiful Dangerous.
We knew the world wouldn't be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most of them were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

Yup. That will be me.
Here's a crazy bit of history; there was actually a betting pool about this particular explosion. One for it's final yield, with bets ranging from 0 (dud) to 45 kilotons. Enrico Fermi discussed a 2nd, much more grim pool; whether the explosion would ignite the atmosphere and, if it did, would it only destroy the state or would it actually destroy the world......fun stuff.
Oh yeah. They have this scene in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

Did you know we bombed Japan? Know what damage that did to them?
@@joshshin6819they're fine now.
@@joshshin6819 well, this is the reality of the Nuclear Bomb, a war crime that affected hundreds of thousands of innocent people, both people living near test sites and people that survived the blast in Japan.
Honestly, I'd rather be one of the people who died instantly than being one of the survivors for that one...
@@mitsuki1388 I believe with complete conviction, that the use of the atomic bomb saved hundreds of thousands-perhaps several millions-of lives, both American and Japanese; that without its use the war would have continued for many months;
About 35 to 60 millions died in that crazy and tragic WW2. If the Americans would have invaded Japan, the dead count would have been very high on both sides. I think it would have been a long war there. I would have hope for a surrender or some peace agreement but that was highly unlikely. I am looking at this objectively. Wars are tragic and low points in the history of humanity. Sadly we haven’t learned yet.
And the Nolan added sparks.
For some reason.
Like he's Michael Bay.
Having come back from the Oppenheimer movie to watch this footage... this footage convinces me to the core that CGI should have been used in the movie, instead of whatever excuse of a practical effects reenactment they used for the Trinity Test. It was so obvious onscreen that they used a smaller bomb, like the same feeling you get when you watch a model of a ship being thrown around in a small pool and they try to pass it off as the real thing. Scenes like the Trinity Test are the stuff where you SHOULD use CGI to enhance the visuals to the awe-inspiring levels it should be, rather than... whatever it is we got.
But then Nolan couldn't sniff his own farts about it being all analog in 70mm IMAX.
Agreed. It suddenly felt like a Mythbusters episode. Quite underwhelming.
I disagree. I think the sound design made up for the bomb itself, although I will admit the bomb wasn't totally accurate.
It felt like a gasoline bomb in the movies, it was terrible. The whole movie was a huge disappointment. Most underwhelming movie I have seen in probably 10 years
The film looked like a gasoline fire zoomed in and slowed down. Disappointing.
The camera that filmed this was made by Ross Lenses in London, I knew the engineer Ivan Crawshaw who designed and built the camera. The Camera shot film so fast that the film end on could split wood when it came out of the camera mechanism, they used canvas bags to collect the film which did not break!
Then, why do all of the captions state, "Mitchell camera"? Mitchell was a camera manufacturer owned by William Fox (Fox Film Studios). He retained ownership of Mitchell even though he lost control of Fox Film Studios. Mitchell made cameras that were universally used by all Hollywood film studios, and Mitchell developed and made the Technicolor process cameras. Hence, Mitchell cameras were the choice for the film cameras used at the Trinity test as they were "professional" motion picture cameras. BTW - the two highest frames rates were 107 FPS and 119 FPS - that's BARELY high speed photography.
@@buckhorncortez Its because his story is BS.
@EdVanMeyer Yeah you got scammed by a con artist who was pretending to have involvement with making the cameras for the Trinity nuke test. And you were gullible enough to actually believe them 🤣 lmao
Thank you for sharing these videos, and for not trashing them with irritating junk music.
It gives me a strange feeling that we are seeing the same thing that Oppemheimer saw at that precise moment.
The new Oppenheimer movie coming out has sent me down a nuclear rabbit hole
I see Oppenheimer movie last hour and the Explosion scene is not like this…
This must have been the most terrifying thing to even behold. Seeing this bomb explode must have been like watching the gates of Hell open in front of your eyes.
The devil played his part for sure! This is one invention that should have never been!
@@USMC-es4yy ah, agreed for sure
Thank you for not adding cheesy sound effects.
Whats scary is they thought it could blow up the entire earth but still did it anyway. That should show you how crazy this is.
That’s true, they thought it was very unlikely, but still… the entire planet… 😧
They thought the heat the explosion would generate could ignite all the oxygen in the atmosphere, they still would’ve won the war😂
Groves: So you’re saying if we press that button we destroy the world?
Oppenheimer: Chances are near zero.
Groves: Near zero?
Oppenheimer: What would you like?
Groves: Zero, zero would be nice.

there was a possibility but once they sent their data to the math team it was concluded that the possibility was so close to zero that they may as well test the bomb

Cameras in 1945: Can still work even through nuclear explosions
Cameras now: *Stops working by being touched by a finger*
"Now I'm become death, the destroyer of worlds"
First off, it was from a Hindu Scripture.
Second that was a quote he remembered after he was told what he thought of when he saw the bomb.
When he said it, the war was already over and his work on the Manhattan Project was finished.
Can you imagine how different the world would be if we said "that's just a black rock, just leave it alone"?
Who is here after watching Opphenheimer?
Something that is often overlooked is that the Trinity test was a Plutonium device. The first bomb, dropped on Hiroshima, was a Uranium device and was understood well enough that no test was needed for that bomb. Also, the term implosion device for the Plutonium bomb is really a misnomer. The Plutonium bomb uses conventional explosives to compress the Plutonium while it is inside a sphere of the explosives. The TV series Manhattan did a pretty good job of explaining how this was accomplished and why it was so much more difficult to create than the gun-type bomb design used for the Little Boy bomb.
With Uranium bomb... How can the device be understood well enough to be not tested exactly? Even if they where confident since when have such a big deal not been tested before used ever? some of the story just doesn't add up.
@@GraphicalRanger Richard Rhodes has a great book about it.
@@GraphicalRangerthey could perform small scale criticality tests with U-235 and smalls inert hydrodynamics tests with tungsten or even U-238 so that they knew enough about the neutron fission cross sections, average prompt neutron production and energies, along with data documenting the average time between fission events. The hydrodynamic tests let them know both how the material would transform as a projectile under collision with a small neutron initiator and tungsten carbide tamper, as well as how the depleted uranium tamper would compress and hold together an internal reflector, fissile core compress (which can be U-235 except they only had enough for the far simpler gun design of Little Boy).
From this you can scale up on paper and calculate what would be required to get a working bomb. They kept the design as simple as possible: One hollow cylindrical projectile weighing 2/3rds the bare critical mass of the material and tungsten carbide plug is fired down a gun barrel using cordite to fit around second, thinner solid cylinder weighing 2/3rds the bare critical mass upon slamming into the other side of neutron reflecting material completing the assembly with the plug and attempting to hold the solid supercritical cylinder of fuel long enough for the exponentially growing prompt fission chain reaction to deposit enough energy in the fuel to violently blow itself a part from its own internal thermal radiation pressure.
@@bjornragnarsson8692my lord. This explanation is gold.
Thank you.
Nice footage. Interesting that the cameras were less than 10km away and survived. Didn't know that
The first atomic bomb was nowhere near as powerful as bombs today, but it's still interesting that the cameras weren't damaged at all by the blast.
They had equipment closer by that literally disintegrated, but 10km was ‘safe’, the closest humans were also in that range.

Could it be possible for the afterglow of the explosion to be visible 540 miles away, specially from a place that was as dark as the detonation place itself?
Possibly. I think it would depend on the cloud cover above the bomb itself.
This is the water and this is the well

70th birthday of Trinity Test today!!!
And to think that this was small potatoes compared to Hydrogen bombs…..
And if you look close enough, you can see the orb of BOB, terrifying...
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
The first take looks like the video's luminosity is inverted (black -> white and white -> black), and gradually back to normal as the explosion progresses.
On a naked eye those are like darked blue just like starring at the sun
The fact that it cuts just slightly before the sound is about to hit
there was no sound, they didn't mic it.
@@randomuploadsism really?
Oh wait its written at the beggining, my bad
filmed by Christopher Nolan
That thing was hotter then the surface of the sun, that thing was on earth, tested In our atmosphere, on our planets surface, and it was beautiful…
Surface of the sun? Try core of the sun. For a 1 Megaton nuclear device, the inside of the bomb reaches around 100 million degrees Celsius (sun internals are 15 million Celsius).
It’s worth noting that the Trinity device was nowhere near 1 megaton, but it still would’ve been hotter than the sun - and most likely one of the hottest places in the universe (for the few microseconds that it existed, before the reaction stopped and the bomb properly detonated)
Is it wrong that i want to see one in real life before I die?
I'd love to.
JUST before you die?
That's exactly what I thought to myself on time but I realized it was not worth having my family killed.
I'd see it, like, RIGHT before I die. I'd be standing 30 feet away from it when it exploded. So I would die right after. Like within a few milliseconds, if not before that.
SparrowHawk 11 30 feet away you'd never get to see it... Best way to see it is to be right at a safe distance from the heat wave. Because to die instantly, you can't get to see it because you'd be in it, and to be further but not far enough means dying burned alive, and that's not pleasant at all.
Even without sound this footage looks very scary. I think I saw death here
Somehow the silent videos are scarier & eerier than the ones with sound. "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I'm sure Oppenheimer is rolling over in his grave. I just did a Google search, & the last time a nuclear test was done was by the U.S. in September 1992! I had no idea we were still doing these testings that recently.
I have mixed feelings about Hiroshima & Nagasaki. My father, who was only 17 & had to have his parents' signatures to join the Navy in 1945, was found for Japan as part of an invasion. Then after the two bombs were exploded in Japan, he became part of the occupation forces. Some people say Truman had no choice but to drop those bombs, because Japan showed no signs of surrendering; therefore, we were told that my father's life was saved because he wouldn't have to engage the Japanese in battle. However, critics of the two bombs being dropped said that the Japanese were fixing to surrender, & there was no need to drop the bombs. I've seen pictures & videos of the radioactive effects on the bodies of Japanese civilians, & it's difficult to see how bombing civilians was justified.
If the Japanese were fixing to surrender they would have done so after the first bomb.
Every major participant in WWII blurred the line between civilian and military, but none moreso than imperial Japan. Conscription women and children, strapping bombs to them, not to mention the standard practice of using civilian factories to produce arms and armor.
Had the war dragged on Japan would have lost countless more military personnel and civilians, both to the US and the soviets.
The use of nuclear weapons should never be taken lightly, but for what its worth in this explicit, singular, impossible case thr use of nuclear weapons was the lesser evil.
But its important to remember that it was still an evil.
Some participants of the test had a "pool" going that the test would ignite the atmosphere !
Oppy reported he took off the goggles and watched through the windshiels of his pickup, therefor enjoying the cloud in full color !!!
Happy Anniversary!

Whybdid the movie explosion suck so much? Could have just used this footage and it would have had more impact
Nolan used a gasoline explosion. But Instead of bending the knee and augment the result with CGI, he was hellbent into using practical effects so he decided to not do post processing. That's why it sucks.
Gotta light?

>>J. Robert Oppenheimer: Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds.
People wonder why Japanese anime and manga focuses so much on "end of the world" stories with technology saving the day? Take Evangelion for example. You see this video, you see the explosions in anime - artists attempting to capture the fact that Japan is the only post-apocalyptic society on Earth. Also the most advanced at robotics.
The apocalypse never happened. It still hasn't. Nukes do not equal apocalypse. Hiroshima recovered in a decade or so. Now, nukes are terrible weapons, don't get me wrong, but they've been somewhat overhyped over the years... Hundreds of thousands survived the two nukes dropped at the end of WWII.
I wouldn't say that Japanese manga and anime focus on the end of the world all that much. US stuff does a lot as well. The Fallout series for example.
@@badbeardbill9956 Yeah I've seen people like you claiming nukes are overhyped. The Tsar Bomba was the biggest nuke ever exploded and it was so massive the shockwave traveled TWICE around the entire globe, just wait till one like that is actually used again, there is also something called MAD( Mutually Assured Destruction) that you should search.
Alkal V I’m well aware of the Tsar Bomba and the damage it could do to a target.
Thing is most nukes deployed today are in the hundreds of kilotons, not the tens of megatons.
Nukes being overhyped doesn’t make them not dangerous. They’re very dangerous and can cause devastation on an unprecedented scale. But we have overhyped the damage they can do. Basically we’ve conflated almost all nukes with the most powerful ones. Sure, if all of our nukes were many megatons in yield they’d be super devastating. Thing is most just don’t have that much yield.
Most of our arsenal isn’t composed of Tsar Bomba equivalent warheads/bombs. That’s just not what we have.
I’ve researched MAD before.
@@badbeardbill9956 7000 of them is scary.
@@badbeardbill9956most are at least a megaton, at least in Russias case. Also Russias arsenal includes 7 100 megaton cobalt torpedoes

It's quite disturbing to see an evil face forming out of the clouds from 1:25, just above the 'atomcentral' label, facing towards the explosion.

Um...does anyone else see the angry face in the clouds to the right of the screen starting around 1:30? Weird!
Its called imagination
9140 meters equals a little over 5.67 miles. Trinity as well as the Nagasaki and Hiroshima devices were about 18 to 20 kilotons each.
Thin Man was smaller; about 15 kt in Hiroshima. The other two were both Fat Man designs, yielding about 20 kt each.
You mean Little Boy? Thin Man was never really built.
is the second clip zoomed in? I'm kind of confused, it says the same distance but it looks like it's a lot closer, like it's diferent explosion
yes zoomed in, you can see they used a larger lens
