I hate it when I accidentally lose my seven plutonium cores on top of a five mile tall mountain
its 5 miles tall, 5 miles= 8 km, =8000 metres; nanda devi height = 7816m
@@ishanchegu it was a joke
r/woooosh
Remember, if you forget a number or have spelling errors, someone will come after you lol
@@gamerf3643 what was the joke?
@@FranktheDachshund OP made a joke about not liking losing their items in a location as if it happens regularly, which is funny as this doesn't occur very often and the video is about this very topic.
All the OP did was say the wrong height. Although it's nice to know the real height, I could've searched for that online, but I guess it's there for the lazy people.
This is a joke, it doesn't need to be fact-checked. It's funny, and that's all that matters.
If you get the joke you get it. If you don't, you don't, so you ask.
I hope you understand well now. Or might not. In that case I can't help you, so it's better off asking OP what the joke was.

Me: "I lost it"
Teacher: "You're lying"

The CIA is lying. They can detonate those simply by firing neutron beams to that area.

@@nuclearcatbaby1131 you think that would the only problem in the premise of the story/mission? The Himalaya are much more distant to China than an average military satellite is. So listening to those communications did not need anything there, they already had satellites to achieve the same goal.

He mentions that Americans would have stood out like a sore thumb in 1960s India, but that's not really true. The hippie trails from Europe, through Central Asia and down into India and Southeast Asia were going full blast in the sixties and seventies.
You could have brought a busload of Americans in there, and as long as you covered them with beads, they didn't shave or cut their hair, and made sure that they smelled like hashish and patchouli, they would have fit right in.
It just occured to me that it may have been called that because of "Top Hat" and the mission being to the top of the world.
But they must have been mad as hatters to attempt it.

@@BonnieOhneClydex It's not a bomb. You can't blow it up. It's a very dirty battery.
Interestingly radioisotope thermal electric generators were often used to power unmanned light houses until they were eventually decommissioned in fear of people looting for nefarious reasons. We still use RTGs today to power satellites and rovers as seen in the documentary The Martian.
Another tidbit is that there are an estimated 35,000 cremations along the Ganges each year with many not cremated but weighted down with stone and pushed into the river.
The Martian wasn't technically a documentary, as it's fictional. Otherwise, good points. I was thinking an RTG as well.
Well, that gives the Ganges its flavor
I remember reading this on the internet, that after further studies from multiple prominent researchers, it has been found that it's actually caused by Scrat, the squirrel form Ice Age.

They almost nuked Savannah too, 5 of the 6 fail-safes failed when they accidentally dropped the bomb, it was a miracle that the US didn't nuke themselves there. And God only knows how many nukes US and Soviet Union truly have lost, we only know of a couple but it isn't unlikely they lost a lot more. And that is not counting lost nuclear submarines.

There were other "devices" lost or misplaced in forests around Russia, they were used as power sources in remote settings. There have been reports, not recent, of hunters finding these small devices and sleeping next to time to keep warm; they would wake up in the morning with burns and other terrible side effects (possibly death as a result of their injuries later on). Moral of the story: if you find a small odd looking device that quietly generates its own heat while walking in the forest, run away.
"Oh, weird, a mysterious warm box in the middle of the forest. I should sleep next to it!"

@@nathanb011 Sounds like you have no idea how cold it gets. Siberian cold is the stuff of legends!
I recall reading a story about a group that goes around and recovers said devices, and it detailed several stories about them. It’s kind of crazy, but I’m sure Germany has the same kind of nonsense. They had so many hidden bunkers, and facilities underground and tucked away, we still haven’t found them all. Can’t speak for nuclear devices, but I know a lot of their experiments go undiscovered.

Hopefully they will invent something that can somehow detect plutonium long range in the near future so they can find and properly dispose. Maybe detect from satellite? They must have an approximate area to search. It would be catastrophic if it leaked.
From Wikipedia- (Plutonium-238 has a half-life of 87.7 years and emits alpha particles. It is a heat source in radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which are used to power some spacecraft. Plutonium isotopes are expensive and inconvenient to separate, so particular isotopes are usually manufactured in specialized reactors.)
That being said it’s lost a lot of its radioactivity (almost a whole half-life), which equals less heat emissions. I don’t think it would have the ability to melt that much snow in the first place.

9:32 hey that’s my town! That climb is called Saigon and is very very hard lol
So back then in Cold War times whoever had an amazingly stupid idea against the opponent they just did it.
Lol. I could see how you would think so. And... A bit, I guess.
But, you should look into the cold war more. They did any crazy shit based on the most cutting edge and unusually insane science and engineering of the time.
Crazy by our standards, maybe.
On the other hand. I don't see why putting a listening device on a huge mountain overlooking an enemy is an amazingly stupid idea anyways.
A pretty big long shot. But if it works, pretty smart.
@@Sir.Craze- Yeah, you can look at any period of scientific innovation and find crazy ideas that didn't pan out. People tend to look at the Cold War like it was unique, but the most unique aspect of it that drove some of the weirdest and most out there stuff was probably the fact that for the first time ever there were two superpowers vying for global dominance, and both were armed with a variety of weapons that could cause Armageddon in different ways.
Even going to the moon was considered an unrealistic, space cadet idea, right up until the Soviets put the first man in space.
At that point, Wernher von Braun must have been jumping up and down in excitement because he knew that the US government would finally ask him to work on his lifetime goal with full funding and support.
That about sums it up perfectly!!

It's all fun and games until the radiation cooks your nuts 😂
If I ever invent a time machine I may need to go back in time and snag that plutonium. Just to make sure it doesn't cause any problems in the future... Wait... Maybe I already did.
What if you did go back in time and tried to snag it and in the process lost your life in the storm and actually caused the plutonium to get lost in the first place. PARADOX!
The isotope used in American RTG’s is Pu238 - utterly useless for nuclear weapons as it doesn’t emit neutrons - it is an alpha emitter. Just don’t eat it - plutonium is chemically toxic and ingested plutonium can also cause cancer. The polonium used in Russian RTG’s is far more dangerous however.
A much safer source of plutonium for your time machine than getting it from the Libyans.

The plutonium stash is a bit like Sauron's ring of power. While it is currently lost in nature, if it emerges, an apocalypse could follow.
It must be disarmed in the pits of idk

The conclusion was expected. If the device COULD melt miles of entire glaciers to flood cities, then 14 men and porters could not have carried a device that hot in the first place.
And if somehow the heat radiated off the device was getting hotter over the decades, the locals would have seen just their local mountain rise in temperature for years, not have a sudden glacier meltdown.

It's not as bad as it seems. This is Plutonium-238, and its risk profile was analyzed in depth in 1991 by the American Institute of Physics. Key takeaways are, skin contact and ingestion represent minimal cancer risk, while inhalation has higher risk for cancer. That's good for the Nanda Devi case because inhalation is the least likely exposure vector.
Finally someone who pointed that out. Pu-238 is not the stuff they build nukes with.
How do you inhale plutonium (from a solid device)
How did they test ingestion.. Also why
@@runeodin7237 In theory, time and environment can strip some powder away, and if that is airborne it can be inhaled. In this particular case, that risk is practically zero.
@@andrewstanley7574 The material can leak into water and food chain, hence the ingestion concern.
It is ludicrous to think that this sort of device could ever cause a nuclear explosion, even if such material was in the water stream due to its high density it would not travel far and would merely sink to the bottom of any river/lake

‘“The CIA would have to carry it....”
Sorry, but I have to correct you. The CIA wouldn’t have carried squat. It would have been the Sherpas doing the really hard work 🤣
That is racist of you to say. Those Sherpas where obviously guides...
I bet he's right tho but then again they where climbers already so I bet they did help them
@@ronniewilliz153 climbers have always used locals as guides, it's logical
Probably not a good idea to let the locals know you have an ultra secret, radioactive project on top of a mountain near them
@@alexjavanainen4259 why would you tell them that? Just tell them it is some oil finding device, idk, I'm not an American. :D
What happened to the bomb?
Us: uh there is a problem, we lost it..
Hol' up, WHAT????
“I’ll eat my hat if they manage to pull this off” and that’s how the operation got its name.
They told them it was gold ... who says those sherpas didnt go up again on their own to fetch it.
Bingo.
If they figured out how to hook them up then they just got free electricity for life. If not, at least free heat. Of course if they break it open then they likely got death as a reward.
@@1dgram Yep, quite similar to the number of soviet Strontium-based RTGs scattered and forgotten and rusting along the arctic coast (they was used to power automated lighthouses etc).
Some of those have had the steel protective cage around them broken up (or rusted away).......
The conclusion was expected. If the device COULD melt miles of entire glaciers to flood cities, then 14 men and porters could not have carried a device that hot in the first place.
And if somehow the heat radiated off the device was getting hotter over the decades, the locals would have seen just their local mountain rise in temperature for years, not have a sudden glacier meltdown.
@sbcontt YT Plutonium-238 is an alpha emitter. Alpha radiation is easily shielded and is safe as long as the shielding stays intact. The reason it's safe is that the shielding absorbs all the radiation. Break that shielding though and get some of that Pu-238 in your body and your body becomes that shielding. If you survive the cell damage then the cancer will probably kill you.
Big love to Thoughty2
and everyone else watching this from Indian side of the Himalayas! Stay safe yall 🇮🇳🇮🇳
I sent you $500 in gift cards to fix my computer viruses and it is still broken.
No
No

Thanks 🙏
How could the plutonium blows its load in the river gangies? It’s not a bot but plutonium rods for energy, it can’t explode like that. It’s not a bomb and dosen’t have the fuel or reaction ability too “unload energy”
Lol. Literally watched the lake skeletons earlier today.
How has this not been made into a major Hollywood blockbuster yet? Also you've been smashing it with these past few uploads, excellent quality.
hollywood produces only woke garbage movies these days...
i somewhat doubt they would make a movie about some guys putting on a "black face" to fool the commies lol
@@pivkemrzli2297 Fair point, but it would be a sick premise. Actually forget Hollywood, Bollywood should make this movie since a lot of Indian cinema is over the top anyways.
@@trifectaofchris they'll make everyone dance and turn it into a love story🤦♀️
@@pivkemrzli2297 So edgy
Broken Arrow is the name for a lost Atomic weapon!
"Two bombs one satellite"
Unlocked a forgotten memory 💀
"they're really bloody big" in combination with his expression got me good.
but dang bro what the heck were they thinking. it seems paranoia got them good.
Actually this operation was conducted by both the countries Intelligence Agencies - CIA of America and IB (Intelligence Bureau) of India.. there's a movie coming out soon
😀
XD lmfaoo
Southern china, you mean?
same here bro
Impostor?
Run.
"man, the snow is getting pretty harsh, what if we just" *leaves device that constantly produces heat at the top of a large mostly frozen mountain that is almost impossible to access expecting it not to just melt and slide down/away*
Hindu moment
Well, gee wiz i didnt know small amounts of heat could melt a whole bleeping mountain.
Wtaf is wrong with ppl has c physics is not that hard.
@@geophiery4636 lol im pretty sure the tundra weather kept the box cold, its called 🌟 a joke 🌟
For the sake of argument, if the flood was caused by the Plutonium, would it not have left a radiation signature? Plutonium does cause a Geiger counter to tick after all. So does the radioactive decay products.
@@davidford3115 Not really.
While the thing generates heat and radiation and that radiation makes some atoms around it to become radioactive themself, most of that stuff has a very low lifespan so the result is very hard to meassure downstream with dispersion and all.
If the case cracks and the actual material inside leaks out though, that you can measure, that stuff was especially choosen because it has a long lifespan.
If it generates enough heat to actual cause flooding by any measure i doubt, given it had to be handled by people directlky to get there in the first place...
That wasn't/isn't the only 'listening' device field deployed with a Nuke power source.
If this device does exist and is giving off that much heat, it'd be a fucking beacon to anyone searching on a heat map.
Not only CIA was present in Operation Hat Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), and Indian Army's mountain climber were also present
Are you sure R&AW existed back then?
@@swapnilshinde714 Nope, RAW was formed 3 years later
@@rider4334 yup
