I used to work with a guy who was one of those 2000 marines that got to witness those 1957 tests up close and personal. I will never forget the way he used to describe just how astonishingly beautiful they were to watch. Just bursts of color and light that the films never did justice to. The way he talked about them was haunting. Needless to say he passed away in the late 80's suffering from pretty much every form of cancer known to medicine. Describing the beauty in those bombs to the end.
I would love to have the power to... wonder if I use or not. It may depend on MY HUMOR in regards to the rest of the world. What a nice thing to have! You can't blame them...!!!
its becuse of the power,the furnace of our sun, molded by our hands,to our petty needs,a astronomic level of energy,used in such a futile way,its awe lays in the power and the absurd of such creation
Definitely. I would loved to of watched one live, from a safe distance of course. Like the Baker shot from Operation Crossroads. But I never want to see them used on anyone. Just the thought that if a 50 megaton bomb is dropped in the right spot 1 - 2 million people will be killed in like 15 - 30 seconds. At least 500,000 will be vaporized in 3 seconds.
There are two things not discussed in the video. 1. The fallout is not localized. When radioactive dust goes high enough it gets into a "global" jetstream and spreads over large sections of the planet. 2. The planet is a magnet, the EMP produced affects the ionophere and the magnetosphere, and the damage could be permanent and cumulative.
FALLOUT is named not for any reason. Radiation that is not gamma, particles, FALL TO THE GROUND WITH THE ADVENT OF GRAVITY. It is not a smoke which compensates the atmospheric weight and spreads through like that... noooo
I worked in the Marshall Islands for several years. Dove Bikini Lagoon in 91 & stood on the deck of the USS Saratoga. Rode my skateboard down the Dome on Runit Island in 93. Coconuts at these test sites still contained lethal doses of Strodium 90 even 50 years after the tests.
I was driving on Las Vegas Blvd. S. one time during an explosion at the test site, supposedly 90 miles away - an underground test, after the treaty was signed banning above ground tests and the light poles were swaying back and forth, I'll never forget that.
I was in Vegas in august a few years back and we got to see one and feel it lol. Not much a little rumble. The same day they blew up an old hotel out there. We were across the street maybe a half a block. Just the dynamite they used was an Intense shockwave

The Soviet "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen fusion bomb was the largest one humans have ever tested at around 50MTons, even they got scared from its awesome power and never tested another one as large, only about half its size.
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools, singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white, Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done.

Tell me more about how you watched the than classified tests on TV (which only really took of after WW2) in the 1940s. Especially since the first nuclear bomb test was only conducted 1945 (trinity).
That's awesome my great uncle was recently telling me about the test that he was at that failed and then he was at the next one and he is still happy healthy and driving his RV around the country. This is a really cool video thank you very much
Yes and it's still rising it might take 100 years or more for the area not to show radiation but people forget there is still poison all around the trees the soil the freshwater lakes & it's spreads all over the world. it might not be showing the radiation in the scanners. But it's still around the poison it's just spread out. That's why cancer is still rising from all those nukes
Not if you were attempting to beat the Nazis to the end result. People NEVER seem to factor that into the reason the nuclear bomb was developed. BTW - the scientists brought the bomb to the government. The government didn't bring the bomb to the scientists.
I know that's what he meant, I just snorted a little. It's funny to imagine something like that being classified as weak. Kinda like comparing the strongest man in the world to, say, a lightweight in the WWE and calling him weak.
Max Berndt I'm not gonna lie but it would be cool if they shrunk it down using modern munitions technology and fit it into a ground launched artillery rocket
they have had those for over 50 years google the atomic cannon .........and although the US and NATO will never admit it we have used small squad based tactical nukes ( we also have had them almost 50 years) in the mountains of Afghanistan and and depleted uranium ( still highly radioactive) all throughout Iraq...... If you are ever in Albuquerque visit the Nuclear Museum you can see both the Atomic Cannon and squad nukes for yourself.
Haunting video. All those animals killed in those tests is something that struck me. Poisoning the ocean and killing millions of sea creatures god knows how deep down.
Ray of Lyte This is what I meant: Would you rather have nukes dropped on a city before we know how powerful they are? Or test them in a deserted area with few animals killed?
how about we not use them or develop them at all? Seriously stupid and if we ever get a lack of nuclear scientist in the military area we face the potential of having 15,000 nuclear weapons degrading and becoming a hazard or going off and nuking everything along with it.

Funny how we "lost" the technology to go to the moon which we had in the 1970's, but we can still destroy the planet with technology we gained in the 1940's. Shows our priorities as a species
tf are you talking about, "lost" the technology to go to the moon? what the fuck? shut the fuck up. you don't know what you're talking about. we can still go to the moon. we just choose not to. you know why? because there's nothing there. there's no reason to go there anymore. been there, done that. it's a fucking rock with nothing on it, so why waste tens of millions of dollars to go there? fucking idiot.
We never lost the tech to go... There is just no reason or justification for us to go back to the Moon at this current time. There are several ongoing studies looking for resources to be mined and extracted from the moon such as Helium 3, Gold, and Platinum but until deposits are found and mapped out there is just no reason to spend billions flying off to jump around on a dead rock. When you say "Lost" i believe you are actually referring to the lost NASA footage from several of the Moon Landings in the 60's and 70's. However, many of the tapes were in fact not lost but had been reused and had new video recorded over it. I agree that we are a pretty messed up species and this only seems to be worsening as time goes on. It will get to a point where Humans will either grow past the need for warfare and violence or we will eradicate ourselves in the pursuit of it.
Sharpie NASA said we " Lost the technology" to go to the moon. Referencing how we build spacecraft ; 1/16" aluminum skin that doesn't protect astronauts outside the ionosphere (540 miles above earth ) from deadly cosmic radiation . Too many big words for you, Dullie ?
Nuclear bombs are only theoretical devices. They work on paper, but not in reality. Videos show regular explosions with heavy compositing and editing. Some are more obvious than others. For example, the image at 6:00 is just the sun with the picture's colors reversed.
yes but that will not happen & all the people dying of cancer & it's still growing all those nukes I'll take a thousand years for it to get back to normal. it might take a bit more then 100 years for the area not to show signs of radiation, but that's because it's just spread out. now you me your family without thinking are just hoping we don't hear that bad news. You have cancer maybe you have thee months. yes it's true we are still suffering the effects
The explosions weren't exactly "caught on film," they were one of the most deliberately, and elaborately filmed events in history, never mind the hundreds of other ways they used to record the explosions.
@@Lootroq It's not like someone was just passing by with their smart phone and happened upon a nuclear test that they "caught on film." These were deliberately filmed from dozens of angles, with several types of cameras and measuring equipment, meticulously thought out to capture everything and anything that the technology allowed for at the time. They didn't want to miss a single moment of the blast. Everything had to be understood about these bombs and their destructive power. After all, they intended use was to destroy everything. There's tragic irony in there.
The word "caught" is used as a synonym for "capture." Meaning it was recorded on film and has nothing to do with a time element or happenstance occurrence. Stop being pedantic...
Honestly, if they put 1/1000 the effort into nuclear space propulsion rather than nuclear extinction, we would be unilaterally better off in this Universe.
I knew a guy who died a few years back, met him late in his life, who was one of the participants in the military testing of effects on nuclear weapons on troops on a battlefield. He went in 4-6 hours later, and once even had one detonated live over them (relatively speaking) while in fortified trenches, to simulate how ground tactics & movement of soldiers in case of nuclear war (back then, they equiped small scale nukes to damn near everything thinking that's how future battles would be fought). He fought in Vietnam, became a Navy Seal, and eventually retired working for the CIA after running missions in Germany & South America. He had signed all sorts of nondisclosure agreements, but he began sharing his stories when he knew the cancer was at a stage that death was imminent. It was insane hearing the hardship & suffering he endured, especially later in life due to so much radioactive contamination. Thankfully, they did provide payments & support to his family, which allowed him to peacefully accept the decisions he made.
People are so two dimensional. War is on the decline and this is the most peaceful time in human history. Mutual assured destruction has played a huge role in this. It forces major powers to cooperate and find more humane ways to deal with conflict.
SongBird this not the most peaceful time in history. Since 2003 we have had 42 or 43 wars and using that we can estimate there will be between 150 and 272 wars by 2100, which is a lot more than all of the wars of the 1900s.
The coolest souvenir I have is when the director of the nuclear science museum in Albuquerque was selling his collection of trinitites, rocks that fused from the nuclear explosion at the Trinity Test Site. Tourists used to be able to collect those before the government put a stop to it in 1953.
Coolest souvenir I have is a piece of stone from the Raven Rock Mountain Complex, which was built in the early 50s as a nuclear bunker for the government in case the Cold War got hot. Had to get a bunch of clearances to go there and we had to sign a paper saying that if we saw anyone recognizable we'd keep it to ourselves (we didn't anyway, just some capitol police to make sure nobody went exploring). We were there to do some surveying-type stuff outside and so obviously didn't get a tour or anything, but our escort was telling us about it. It was built to accommodate something like 500 people for a decade (government officials ONLY, no families), it's got three underground lakes, it's some crazy distance beneath the surface, things like that. The doors were big enough to drive a bus through, and I remember one was open and it was just yellow sodium lights lining a tunnel as far as I could see. I think he told us the place is maintained but not actually used for anything nowadays. Like I said, we weren't privy to anything you can't look up on the internet, but it's still kind of cool to pick up that rock and think about how that was the very last line of defense for the United States.
Did anyone else find these strangely beautiful? Maybe it was the effect of the music, but if I'm going to be killed by radiation poisoning, I'd like to be close enough to experience the grandeur of the explosion.
& don't forget that those light bulbs & car will be the end of the world in 12 years according to "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez" Now there's a bright light bulb if i ever heard 1 ...........lol

Daniel Smith what ways are we changing? Are we changing African countries and the Middle East? If you’re talking about American and European cultures I’d like to know what’s horrible about it? Because humanitarians act like Americans are killing each other door to door.
Awesome. As a very small child I lived in Nevada while tests were going on, my folks said they could see the flashes from them. Guess I’m dead! My dad was a uranium exploration geologist for the Atomic Energy Commission, so I guess I’m double dead.
beta and alpha radiation are pulled by gravity and don't spread through the atmosphere, it contaminates only 1m vertically above the soil and the km it spreads that is the issue. Also, you just need to ionize the radiation for it to become gases of helium and hydrogen. That's the most effective way to decontaminate radiation, but mostly goes below the ground and are recycled by earth itself.

Tell me more about how you watched the than classified tests on TV (which only really took of after WW2) in the 1940s. Especially since the first nuclear bomb test was only conducted 1945 (trinity).

That's awesome my great uncle was recently telling me about the test that he was at that failed and then he was at the next one and he is still happy healthy and driving his RV around the country. This is a really cool video thank you very much
we wonder why cancer spiked starting in the 50s
surely it isn't because everyone started getting desk jobs and ate deep fried spam and white bread sandwiches.
Yes and it's still rising it might take 100 years or more for the area not to show radiation but people forget there is still poison all around the trees the soil the freshwater lakes & it's spreads all over the world. it might not be showing the radiation in the scanners. But it's still around the poison it's just spread out. That's why cancer is still rising from all those nukes
Our maybe it is because every since then we have been better at detecting it
huh, you know this was actually made to be used on other human beings. can you imagine? it's actually madness
The one dropped in Japan is 1/20 of the biggest one right now, and I’ll bet we have secret bigger ones
Still have about 4000 of em pointed at us, ready to go, at a seconds notice..
Not if you were attempting to beat the Nazis to the end result. People NEVER seem to factor that into the reason the nuclear bomb was developed. BTW - the scientists brought the bomb to the government. The government didn't bring the bomb to the scientists.

Lol yeah
Max Berndt I'm not gonna lie but it would be cool if they shrunk it down using modern munitions technology and fit it into a ground launched artillery rocket
they have had those for over 50 years google the atomic cannon .........and although the US and NATO will never admit it we have used small squad based tactical nukes ( we also have had them almost 50 years) in the mountains of Afghanistan and and depleted uranium ( still highly radioactive) all throughout Iraq...... If you are ever in Albuquerque visit the Nuclear Museum you can see both the Atomic Cannon and squad nukes for yourself.
Haunting video. All those animals killed in those tests is something that struck me. Poisoning the ocean and killing millions of sea creatures god knows how deep down.
DaveKraft400 nothing compared to what fukushima will do
But it's better to test them before actually using them.
Corpus That was the stupidest thing I've read all week.
Ray of Lyte This is what I meant: Would you rather have nukes dropped on a city before we know how powerful they are? Or test them in a deserted area with few animals killed?
how about we not use them or develop them at all? Seriously stupid and if we ever get a lack of nuclear scientist in the military area we face the potential of having 15,000 nuclear weapons degrading and becoming a hazard or going off and nuking everything along with it.

Funny how we "lost" the technology to go to the moon which we had in the 1970's, but we can still destroy the planet with technology we gained in the 1940's. Shows our priorities as a species
tf are you talking about, "lost" the technology to go to the moon? what the fuck? shut the fuck up. you don't know what you're talking about. we can still go to the moon. we just choose not to. you know why? because there's nothing there. there's no reason to go there anymore. been there, done that. it's a fucking rock with nothing on it, so why waste tens of millions of dollars to go there? fucking idiot.
We never lost the tech to go... There is just no reason or justification for us to go back to the Moon at this current time. There are several ongoing studies looking for resources to be mined and extracted from the moon such as Helium 3, Gold, and Platinum but until deposits are found and mapped out there is just no reason to spend billions flying off to jump around on a dead rock.
When you say "Lost" i believe you are actually referring to the lost NASA footage from several of the Moon Landings in the 60's and 70's. However, many of the tapes were in fact not lost but had been reused and had new video recorded over it.
I agree that we are a pretty messed up species and this only seems to be worsening as time goes on. It will get to a point where Humans will either grow past the need for warfare and violence or we will eradicate ourselves in the pursuit of it.
Sharpie
NASA said we " Lost the technology" to go to the moon. Referencing how we build spacecraft ; 1/16" aluminum skin that doesn't protect astronauts outside the ionosphere (540 miles above earth ) from deadly cosmic radiation .
Too many big words for you, Dullie ?
Nuclear bombs are only theoretical devices. They work on paper, but not in reality. Videos show regular explosions with heavy compositing and editing. Some are more obvious than others. For example, the image at 6:00 is just the sun with the picture's colors reversed.
I miss this old Dark 5 where there was no quick voice and there were narrations with dark music. It seemed very interesting.
The troops exposed should sue the US for exposure to radiation. That's beyond criminal.
yes but that will not happen & all the people dying of cancer & it's still growing all those nukes I'll take a thousand years for it to get back to normal. it might take a bit more then 100 years for the area not to show signs of radiation, but that's because it's just spread out. now you me your family without thinking are just hoping we don't hear that bad news. You have cancer maybe you have thee months. yes it's true we are still suffering the effects

The music here really conveys the devastating destruction caused by such weapons .
The explosions weren't exactly "caught on film," they were one of the most deliberately, and elaborately filmed events in history, never mind the hundreds of other ways they used to record the explosions.
Could you be more specific? I'm interested
@@Lootroq It's not like someone was just passing by with their smart phone and happened upon a nuclear test that they "caught on film." These were deliberately filmed from dozens of angles, with several types of cameras and measuring equipment, meticulously thought out to capture everything and anything that the technology allowed for at the time. They didn't want to miss a single moment of the blast. Everything had to be understood about these bombs and their destructive power.
After all, they intended use was to destroy everything. There's tragic irony in there.
Ahh I see. I thought the OP was implying something other than the obvious inaccuracy of the title
The word "caught" is used as a synonym for "capture." Meaning it was recorded on film and has nothing to do with a time element or happenstance occurrence. Stop being pedantic...

npp is fucking dumb
I knew a guy who died a few years back, met him late in his life, who was one of the participants in the military testing of effects on nuclear weapons on troops on a battlefield. He went in 4-6 hours later, and once even had one detonated live over them (relatively speaking) while in fortified trenches, to simulate how ground tactics & movement of soldiers in case of nuclear war (back then, they equiped small scale nukes to damn near everything thinking that's how future battles would be fought).
He fought in Vietnam, became a Navy Seal, and eventually retired working for the CIA after running missions in Germany & South America. He had signed all sorts of nondisclosure agreements, but he began sharing his stories when he knew the cancer was at a stage that death was imminent. It was insane hearing the hardship & suffering he endured, especially later in life due to so much radioactive contamination. Thankfully, they did provide payments & support to his family, which allowed him to peacefully accept the decisions he made.

People are so two dimensional. War is on the decline and this is the most peaceful time in human history. Mutual assured destruction has played a huge role in this. It forces major powers to cooperate and find more humane ways to deal with conflict.
SongBird this not the most peaceful time in history. Since 2003 we have had 42 or 43 wars and using that we can estimate there will be between 150 and 272 wars by 2100, which is a lot more than all of the wars of the 1900s.
Wars are fought for recourses and profit, they will never end when greedy men rule the world
@@aweebwehrabooidiot3012 FALSE the last war was WW2 everything else is a conflict.
These "tests" were Madness given form.
What a beautiful (and tragic) way of putting it.
The coolest souvenir I have is when the director of the nuclear science museum in Albuquerque was selling his collection of trinitites, rocks that fused from the nuclear explosion at the Trinity Test Site. Tourists used to be able to collect those before the government put a stop to it in 1953.
Coolest souvenir I have is a piece of stone from the Raven Rock Mountain Complex, which was built in the early 50s as a nuclear bunker for the government in case the Cold War got hot. Had to get a bunch of clearances to go there and we had to sign a paper saying that if we saw anyone recognizable we'd keep it to ourselves (we didn't anyway, just some capitol police to make sure nobody went exploring). We were there to do some surveying-type stuff outside and so obviously didn't get a tour or anything, but our escort was telling us about it. It was built to accommodate something like 500 people for a decade (government officials ONLY, no families), it's got three underground lakes, it's some crazy distance beneath the surface, things like that. The doors were big enough to drive a bus through, and I remember one was open and it was just yellow sodium lights lining a tunnel as far as I could see. I think he told us the place is maintained but not actually used for anything nowadays. Like I said, we weren't privy to anything you can't look up on the internet, but it's still kind of cool to pick up that rock and think about how that was the very last line of defense for the United States.

Did anyone else find these strangely beautiful? Maybe it was the effect of the music, but if I'm going to be killed by radiation poisoning, I'd like to be close enough to experience the grandeur of the explosion.

I LOVE TO BREATHE RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES FROM THE AIR!!!!!
beta and alpha radiation are pulled by gravity and don't spread through the atmosphere, it contaminates only 1m vertically above the soil and the km it spreads that is the issue. Also, you just need to ionize the radiation for it to become gases of helium and hydrogen. That's the most effective way to decontaminate radiation, but mostly goes below the ground and are recycled by earth itself.
