Nuclear Test Film Highlights #3 - New Footage, Epic Explosions (4K HD)

  • I'm sneaking in this slight diversion from transportation safety as a followup to an earlier highlight reel I posted, which consisted of nuclear test films I had digitally restored. One other highlight reel is being posted alongside this video, after which things will be back to their regularly scheduled programming around here. Thanks for indulging me.
    This three minute twenty-one second video showcases a handful of the 1,054 (official) United States nuclear tests that have taken place since 5:29 a.m. on July 16th, 1945.
    This highlight reel is markedly different from #1 and #2 in that the footage here has not been digitally restored. All of the dust, dirt, scratches, and other film defects are present and in some cases are quite visible.
    On the other hand, perhaps making up for the dirt is the fact that this footage - dirt and all - is coming to you scanned in 4K.
    Highlight reel #1 is here: tiny.cc/nuke1
    Highlight reel #2 is here: tiny.cc/nuke2
    Music is by - and with thanks to - Steven O'Brien.

      I also thought this always, until I understood:
      would / will this happen in real world in a war: if you are so close that you can see details like houses, then you will die.
      If you are in a safe distance, it's then also so far away, that you can't see details of houses etc anymore.
      In real world you wouldn't care if it swallows one or two villages/ or outskirts more or less, you would anyway think of nothing else but all the civilians that are killed just there, anyway incredibly many

      Just want to let you know as a fellow American I thank you for your service and wish that our Government and VA would stand up for you guys and at a minimum cover all healthcare costs. No doubt it's always tricky to unequivocally link health problems with exposures when there isn't sufficient documentation or evidence to back it up in court.
      But even if there was no correlation, which I know is not the case...but just the fact that you guys are worried about it is enough to cause anguish and grief and they should recognize the impact that your sacrifice has had on your health and be there for you. It's a shame really that our great country would just spit you guys out like that after you served the whole world really.
      They guys who shoveled all that irradiated dirt out at Enewetak and Bikini deserve much more recognition, and obviously they are skirting the blame...fuck what the legal framework is, they should pay you guys reparation on top of full health care coverage because you can't tell someone that inhaling all the dust for weeks isn't going to leave particles attached in the human body that will reak havoc long term. It doesn;t take a doctor to figure that out does it? So sad. What can citizens like me do to help fight for your cause?

    • @comment2009
      @comment2009 4 года назад +3

      For historical context, it was made because it was thought Germany might produce one first. Had the war in Europe continued after the bomb was made, some place in Germany might have been the first ground zero. With Germany clearly not going to win the war, the focus became Japan. Having to use the bomb was shit, but the military was not going to let the gadget go to waste. The bomb was not originally designed for civilian use. Operation Plowshare was a failure due to the radiation. Too bad. Imagine today oil fracking using nukes or coal mining. The Panama Canal expansion would have been completed in a fraction of the time.

      kingkold: Actually false. Other than the first two uses which were general purpose, the US never targeted cities or populations as human targets.

Nothing about the bombs is designed to kill humans.

      @@comment2009 also dynamite was for civilian use but killed millions. The people will always chose to harm the others. I disagree with the statement that this bomb was created for civilian purpose but i respect your opinion.. The bomb was made for bombing the cities otherwise why would they make dummy cities to test if they didn't intend to use it against civilians? Also take note that many of those that participated to the last fine tunes of this weapon were Jewish scientist that emigrated from the Nazi Germany and that they didn't entered this project for the sake of scientific knowledge but rather to take revenge for what their people suffered. They were fully motivated to avenge their people so they voluntary took part in the making of those two horrible bombs that killed so many innocent civilians. So either way you look at this bombs and at their first use (and hope the last on) this weren't civilians explosives but weapons made to kill the enemy. Reason for it: scientific curiosity (what wil be the real impact on real cities), revenge for those that had families butchered by nazi, political wish to end the war and to avoid an open conflict with Soviet Union by saying:" we can do this so stay at the Berlin gates, do not advance".Peace. Hope that the only nuclear weapons that exploded to by only those in the past.
