- There was always audience when exploding atomic bombs. The video is also high definition. The footage of the Operation Dominic Sunset is especially pretty (0:57), also Dominic Charma (1:26, 1:37). Greenhouse Item is seen twice (0:00, 0:48), Plumbbob Hood (1:13), Upshot-Knothole Grable (0:13), Ranger Able (0:07).

Those two guys on the left were having a conversation so good that when the nuke went off they glanced at it and went back to talking. Or it wasn’t their first time seeing a nuke.
Likely not their first time watching a nuclear explosion.
They were actually discussing what they each had in their lunch box 😂
Nuclear makes everthing New and Clear.
Amaterras hahaha so humourous
Yee Tsun Lee
it's true isn't it?
Amaterras New - Yeah. Clear - Not Really.. More like horrible and unclear.
Amaterras Yeah. XD
Lol
What have we done?
We invented our own destruction.. 😭
Good. Now we just have to actually use them to reset the planet already.
no we have saved ourselves
Between 1945 and 1962, several countries tested nuclear weapons in the open air. The United States tested weapons in the South Pacific as well as at the Nevada testing grounds. Military maneuvers involving about 200,000 people were conducted as part of many of these tests.
And 1,000 veterans received the highest doses of radiation.
Not going to lie . THe background music is totally badass lol.
+Lifeon Enceladus Anyone know who is is? Sounds like Shostakovich a bit.
If you're still interested: It's the soundtrack of the movie these excerpts are from : Trinity and Beyond. The score was written by William Stromberg and John Morgan :)
Gustav Holst's the planets is one of the scores.
this is our future boys and girls ....
What!!
Well I'm two years into the future and still haven't seen one lol
Indeed
Finchè ci sarà la CIA, si.
If only.
Notice how the fusion explosions are brighter than the fission explosions. It’s harsh man!😢
This is what happens when you do what your told without questioning anything
I wonder how many of them got cancer..
All
Wait you get cancer from lights?
@@goat5504 Radiation travels through the air and thereby also by light.
Radiation doesnt work like that, sure some atoms might stray away from the group. But most stay within the fallout of the nuclear blast. They dont get cancer because theyre well away from the fallout when it starts raining Iodine-131
The background music in this video gave me Star Wars type vibes!
Oh yeah lol
Makes me want to play FALLOUT4 again
MoadFreih facts
I am playing fallout 4 right now
Darkness beyond twilight. Crimson beyond blood that flows.
Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows.
I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand
Before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hands.
+Bindair Dundat DRAGOOOOON SLAAAAAAAAAVE!
Plot twist! We are in-fact people watching people get exposed to radiation
@Tosh Bradley nah, they just thought it was the visual flash that killed them, explaining why they have those masks on and are sometimes looking away
They were seeing the bones through their hands because of teh brightness of the visible light. Sure, a blast creates x- and gamma rays, but they are fully absorbed within a mile of the blast by the air; in fact, that's what heats the air up so high near the blast. The "old flouro-scopes" made x-rays visible by fluorescing (creating visible light) when struck by x-rays, so the mechanism is in no way similar.
i remember hearing something on a documentary that the military would invite the public and members of the press to come out and watch the tests. my favorite one is at 1:29 PERFECT FIRE MUSHROOM
All that energy within a single atom. Its inconceivable.
It's not only one single atom, imagine how many atoms biuld up the several kilograms of fuel (U or Pu), not every one of them undergo fission, for a nuclear device the percentage of mass that is converted to energy is less than 1%. The efficient mass that trigerred Hiroshima bomb was about 700mg, the size of a dime. Nuclear bombs are so inefficient, yet they can unleash armageddon any time.
Gogluism ye, people should not forget that especially with the hydrogen bombs there is much more involved than just splitting the uranium.....I suggest watching the different documentaries here on YT or just reading the basics of hydrogen bomb from wikipedia, so that way you understand that all that energy doesnt simply become from splitting one single atom.
Basicly in H-bombs its the fission reaction that then triggeres the fusion reaction....a bomb inside a bomb if you want to describe it in very simple way.
doodelay , its a fission process
Gogluism, no not kilos. Usualy kilotons (1000 tons) or megatons (1 mil tons)
+suka blyat please read Gogluism's post again and then yours. Maybe you'll figure out whats wrong in your thought process - If not, you may consider yourself as dumb.
so sad, yet so beautiful
Think there is more beautiful stuff out there you could do with that money..
The music really made it even more ominous...scary...but beautiful.
All those people died 20 years earlier then they were supposed to.
it brought peace to mankind for 68 years. It's so powerful anyone fears using it or it being used on them.
I've always wondered don't people worry about radiation and dying from cancer when watching these tests from so close of a distance???
I certainly wish I could have seen a live air test of an atomic weapon, even if it had been as a soldier. Of course, I'd be happier if I also knew what I do know now about it as I watched it. :)
Hear we all were on the airfield in our short sleeve shirts and shorts the loud speakers ordered us to sit on the ground with our backs to the detonation point and our hands over our eyes. " The weapon has left the aircraft." came a voice over the tannoy system and an eerie silence followed then a countdown from 20 seconds 10 second 5 4 3 2 1 still an uncanny silence that seemed to last ages, but at the same time suddenly I realized I could see the bones in my hands over my face and feel a heat on my back as if someone was holding an electric fire close to the back of me. The voice came over the tannoy again telling all of us that we could now stand and look at the detonation, most of us stood and turned round, that's when we all realized there was no sound and then we noticed the crabs were running around in circles and seagulls were on the ground fluttering their wings, we later realized they had been blinded by the flash. Suddenly we noticed a black line coming towards us, we later learned it was the visible sound barrier as it past us the ground shook and an almighty bang was heard and the line continued on behind us. That was the shock wave, From then on we all watched the colours mixing together as the familiar mushroom began to form before our eyes. Believe me it was an event that has stayed in my memory forever. I was there, witnessing the detonation of a hydrogen bomb. 1957 Operation Grapple Christmas Island now renamed Kiribati in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Believe me friend, you want to be carful what you wish for.
@@ronholfly sounds like a good time if you ask me, I’m down!
(Not from ground 0 of course)
Also intetesting story!
100% bomb-grade U-235 was used in only perhaps 4 of the 1000+ nuclear tests the US performed. All the rest were either pure plutonium or mixed U-235/plutonium.
Nuclear is an awful monster
"nuclear is an awful monster". Or a source of endless energy for the world.
We still have leftover from the nuclear fuel cells though, the fission doesnt stop immediately, it needs to decay and it still produces radiation
Its freaking hell can you imagine a monster that huge ! God dam ! I can only imagine how powerful they have gotten since
Uuuggghhh nuclear stuff creeps me out :O
Actually, it's one of the few times when the word awesome is appropriate.
Although it would be too scary, it would be amazing to see him
A Giant Mushroom May Be it is Friendly
GAME let’s give it a hug maybe?
Hahahaha!
looks like a giant dick to me
Cameras were HD as fcuk back in the day
+deeditmane Film cameras are still far superior to digital imaging, at least as far as the resulting image detail. It is going to be awhile before sensor technology can render images as beautifully detailed as film.
Those footage were restored and edited to match today's standards. IQ Definition has more or less to do with it.
It's very important to put your sunglasses on, they will protect you.
I've heard that a lot of nuclear explosion observers later developed cancer.

Don't give out radiation you say. In the moment of the explosion, there is a intense burst of gamma-rays. Then there is the fallout, which is made of parts of the bomb, which irradiate.
I can't believe it. Only two films that I know of had real, actual soundtracks of a nuclear explosion and John (with the officers at "Ground Zero") was one them. And someone added fake sounds to that in this video.
@Mousetorturer Ever thought it might be a good idea and come out and say what you mean rather than dancing?
Talk about godly proportions.
Me when the sun is out and my aunt gives me her "good sunglasses"
We are people watching people watching nuclear explosions.
Grandpa, don't sit so close to the nuclear explosion, it will rot your brain!
And then they all get a mouth full of dust when the blast finally reaches them
No harm caused to the animals and birds during the explosion! ty
So close? The nearest civilians were at least 6 miles back, the nearest military (ever) were 2 miles.
"my granddad was one of the people took to Christmas island 4 years ago he died of cancer which was thought to be radition poisining"
No, probably not - certainly nor Acute Radiation Syndrome, usually referred to as "radiation poisoning".. On Kiribati (Christmas Island) all the American tests were dropped from bombers 20 miles or more off shore. Fallout from them was all very minor. Most likely, he was one of the 30% or so of all people who die of cancer overall.
Sorry that it happened, though. My Dad died 2 years ago of it, and he was not in the armed forces.
true
I am here to watch the people watching people watch the bombs.
Nuclear weapons don't give out radiation when it explodes, it takes about 15 min for the fallout which is where all the radiation is, so you have about 15min to get out of there.
What exactly does "the highest doses" mean? Higher than that received by, say, Louis Slotin? No, no one in the US military ever died from Acute Radiation Syndrome. The amount of cancer for those who were involved in Operation Desert Rock amounted to about 10% above normal rates, measured about 30 years later.
so beautiful, I just wish we had never used it on people and never will and would just use this to play around like this absolutely beautiful, wouldnt mind my tax money spent on that.
Friendly mushroom cloud!
mushy giant friend
I'm no nuclear physicist, but I know that larger particles from a nuclear blast tend to fall closer to a blast site, these are generally blocked by skin/clothes/glass etc. It should not be very harmful from the distance they were observing. These were very crude nuclear weapons, so little power, smaller fallout. Fallout is what is dangerous, generally smaller particles capable of penetrating deep inside your body. Usually takes 30 minutes to an hour to fall over an area. Plus they were upwind
Actually no the Tsar had around 50 megatons of power, and the total affected area of the bomb was around 35km in radius, with a burn radius of 3.5km nowhere near 100-150km...
It's bewildering to think if how many active warheads there are out there
There are limitations in the repair. Even low-level ionizing radiation may induce irreparable DNA damage leading to infections and DNA errors leading to pre-mature aging and cancer.
Tons of reactivities would catch and cover up them, but they did not know about it at that time. sicked they were used simply as guinea pigs.
3...2...1...I just got turned into a Ghoul. And watch how you use that word, SMOOTHSKIN.
The people who just covered their eyes or looked away.
Sadly they all probably died of cancer.
Look at wikipedia, "Operation Plumbbob", then subtract 1370 (elev at Yucca Flats) from 5970. 4600 meters above the ground; 14,500 ft (sorry for the 1000 ft error). If you don't like wiki, you can look up the cited references.
It might, but the probability is low, and is anyway the same for all the other causes of these problems: chemical hazards, viruses, injuries and so on. It is not cumulative, as you stated above. Most such damage simply kills cells, which happens naturally anyway.
Oppenheimer said it (about ten years after the fact), but it was quoted from the Bhagavad Gita.
they will still feel the shock wave and most likely the radiadion
No, not by anything more than infrared, visible and perhaps some soft UV. The more energetic rest is absorbed by the air.
Do you have any idea how scary WWIII fought with conventional weapons in the 50 and 60s might have been? If it prevented that (and there are good arguments for it), then MAD was worth it along with the expense. Several times over.
They all suffered radiaton damage, most of those who watched got cancer and died soon after.
Bullshit.
Ah man. Nothing like a nice big mushroom cloud. If it weren't for the radiation and the getting turned to ash thing I'd totally like to have a nice picnic and watch some nuke tests.
The way a country gets into the "nuclear club" is by discovering that they don't work. North Korea can safely threaten America with nukes without any fear of US nukes which don't exist.
The guy in the video below believes atomic bombs exist but he gives VERY good detailed reasons for saying that nukes are an ineffective way to wage war and nukes will not have any decisive role in future wars.
Video Title: "Four Myths About Nuclear Weapons: Hiroshima, H-bomb"

This bomb still is scary to see if you were near.
"Trust your Government. Everything is under control and 100% safe."
someone should film themselves watching this video and call it "People Watching People Watching Nuclear Bomb Test Explosions"
Gotta love Hollywood. They would have melted standing that close.
We'll just have to find out next time there's a major war.
Well, actually, No one I'm aware of in Operation Desert Rock (the military maneuvers in an atomic battlefield) ever got enough radiation (even the worst of them) to suffer from Acute Radiation Sickness. Thirty years after the operation about 10% more had cancer than would have been normal for the population. Radiation was well understood at that time, and has only "advanced" in detail since - it's still the same thing.
Those in the stands? No measurable effect in any way.
Many beneficial technologies started out as weapons. We have the space program (and all the awesome perks that came with it) thanks to the fact that a bunch of people wanted to be able to blow other people up from a long way away.
That is exactly right!
"a terrible beauty is born"
At 33 seconds notice the so called mushroom cloud is not moving but the people in the foreground are. Reminds me of the fake nasa footage.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I am highly skilled in the nuclear field and if you are considering the fact that reactor are real but bombs not you are incorrect. In a nuclear reactor the split ting of atoms occur. Same as bombs. The splitting of atoms is what causes the bomb to explode.
*implying something bad can't be awesome*
The word means that it fills you with awe. Awe is an appropriate reaction to something this incredible, good or bad.
The next best thing would be to direct a nickel-iron asteroid into a steep entry into an isolated spot. Kansas could use some new topography...
"Good to be here in Colorado Springs, unfortunately, I had to drive across Kansas to get here. I did that at night- this is the scenic way to cross Kansas, recommended by the AAA. You do not want to drive across Kansas in the daytime, it will Suck. The Soul. Right Out of You."

1:31 that thing looks like a face * shiver *
No, not true. Radiation damage is repaired over time. As a minor example, your skin recovers from sunburn; other tissues do the same. It is well known in nuclear medicine that a dose spread over time is less damaging. Besides, this new accusation has nothing to do with what you said above.
This is a video showing many people watching nuke test. I'm here to tell you that none of them suffered radiation exposure, just like in Hiroshima and Nagasaki where people only suffered burns which were no different to the burns suffered by survivors of the other 66 Japanese cities fire-bombed by the US Air Force, as well as the fire-bombed European cities like Dresden, etc.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were immediately rebuilt because there was no radiation, ditto Chernobyl.
/watch?v=xx2MRo3M3Fs
that first one was kind of a popcorn fart nuke
this is....beautiful
"Sir, there was a slight gust of wind, the bomb will be landing about 2 km off course"
"In what direction?"
"Towards that crowd of people"
"Fuck"
wow that close. I ain't getting that close no sir
That might be true, but the effect of X-radiation as well as of DU is cumulative. That is, a number of minor doses over a number of years is equivalent to a large dose at one time.
looks like those five standing at ground zero got turned to ashes ?
1:43 wat nuke was that
Radiation is called radiation because it radiates in straight lines, like light. Read my other comments on this thread.
That technology can drive us into space, do a research on the nuclear pulse engine, its quite interesting.
The show was a real blast;).
chuck norris, jackie chan, and several creepers
That's the way with heavy industrial manufacturing. The initial investment is a bitch. But once the infra is in place, grinding out the products is fairly easy. Developing and building the rockets to throw them was a much more expensive, ambitious task.
SO... how many of those people died of cancer?
1:24 that's a sick mustache
Aren't we all? Or at least nearly all?
You know, I believe that scientists knew of the problems to watch the explosions, but they thought:. "Look, all this curious people will serve us of cobais, the effects are not immediate so no one will associate them to we can just spend years accessing their medical historical and asaber what happens, without keeping various animals in captivity for years to study. and also has the advantage of being human body. '' Indeed, scientists are very smart.

Om......
its sooo beautiful *-*
