- This is a dandy little film by Lookout Mountain Labs. Unfortunately, when I had access to the master, the soundtrack was nowhere to be found. I've looked for the movies track but no luck.
Lots of great shots at the Nevada Test Site now called the Nevada National Security Site.
Lots of shots of behind the Scenes and Alvin Graves, the guy in charge of Los Alamos at the time (made in 1954). - Věda a technologie
It's strange, almost like I can imagine the soundtrack without it being there.. The music, the narrator guy's voice, even some of the nonexistent narrative. Seen enough of these to know.. lol
This was a mish-mash of Buster-Jangle, Tumbler-Snapper, and Upshot-Knothole clips.
What really awes me is the beautiful restoration of the weapon delivery and guard ID security around field command headquarters scenes 4:39 and 4:55 , almost black in the shadows in the Congressional report films that were released through NNSS/Bechtel.
It’s funny how night scenes were simulated with daylight shots and then possible ND filtering the edit in post. ISO 10 color film of the time necessitated the process.
I wish to the dear Lord that VCE could restore the full content of the released operations films.
History buffs would pay for them, if reasonably priced.
Fantastic restoration... imagine Buster-Jangle like that.
Buster Jangle, Tumbler Snapper, Upshot Knothole, theres no way those are the real names.
@@Bob78 Yes, those were the real code names.
The codes represented different sets of objectives in the operations, such as series bomber drop tests for Tumbler, and weapons development tower shots for Snapper-thus Tumbler-Snapper in 1952.
Search for sanitized versions of US Congressional film reports on CZcams under those names.
Meanwhile Individual test firings used thematic series code names based on the host laboratory conducting tests on their devices-especially when now Lawrence Livermore entered testing-whether based on animals, insects, scientists, or more.
Before LLNL, the LANL tests tended to be based on radio call letters.
It weirds me out that we had nukes while we were still hand-drawing official signs and taking notes with pencils.
Always flips me out how our mobile phones are orders of magnitude faster, more powerful computationally and easier to program and use than what our Astronauts had at hand on their moon flights, and even the main frames spinning tape reel serial memory back at The Cape and in Houston.
Funny meme by Tom Tomorrow from the first edition of his 'This Modern World' - circa mid-late 80s shows two "office girls" in 1950s style dresses. One looks perplexed holding up a wood pencil while the other, peering over a thick binder says - "I don't know either, but The Manual says it's some kind of backup Word Processor." CHEERS
This was a last minute briefing. It had to be done quick.
I was a nerd kid and was glued to our b&w TV for every space flight from Alan Shepherd's Mercury Project 'Freedom-7' when I was in 1st Grade thru the 'Skylab' missions, when I was in college. A simple 'Calculator with Digital Readout' was installed on the panel of the "co-pilot" of the Gemini capsules. I was blown away by that! DUH - I should've added Colonel Yuri Gagarin who flew in space before Admiral Shepherd, but he wasn't on TV here!
In reality a nuclear bomb is not super complicated technology- it’s the materials to make them are an issue
In the 1940s, they were indeed considered superwammodyne technology@@robdubent - transferred in very short order from the blackboards of our most brilliant physicists at our best universities to an engineering project solved with relatively similar brevity. And not just "the materials" themselves, but the precision machining thereof. CHEERS
I never realized how lighting phosphorous sesquisulfide matches with your fingernail could make you look so cool 🔥 😎
haha I noticed that too
Getting a flaming chunk of it under your fingernail will change that outcome a bit.
LOL true@@ikonseesmrno7300
Cigarette: 2 cents. Match: 1 cent. Lighting the match on your first try: Priceless.
A micro-demo of what we used to call "Willy Peter," right under a guy's own thumbnail!@@ikonseesmrno7300
Silent... OMG profanity... anyway, thanks another nice work... Lieutenant Colonel Paul H. Fackler, commander of the U.S. Air Force’s 514th Reconnaissance Squadron Weather. On May 15, 1948, during a test called “Zebra”, part of the second series of American atomic tests "SANDSTONE" at Enewetak atoll in the Pacific, Fackler flew his plane into the cloud of an atomic explosion. Fackler was supposed to track the atomic cloud from at least 10 miles away, hoping that special filters attached to the plane would collect samples of radioactive debris. But as he pulled away from the huge cloud in a left-hand climbing turn, Fackler suddenly found his Boeing WB-29 inside a small projection of the main cloud. After the incident, Fackler reported, “Nobody died on the spot, and nobody got sick”. This incident led to changes in how radioactive samples were collected after nuclear explosions. Instead of using remote-controlled drones to collect samples, as had been done previously, human pilots began flying through radioactive clouds to collect samples.
I assume that much of the film color was restored. Most of that action took place at Frenchman Flat at the NTS. The displayed map indicated that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hadn't yet withdrawn the Area 51 segment of land at that time, for addition to the 'proving grounds.'
Thank you for this.
Perhaps someday you might get all of these restored... No, I know that is not likely but one should dream large.
Thank you for your efforts and preserving history as so many seem to simply despise "conservation" of information.
Also commenting for the Al-Gore-Rhythm...
Dr. Alvin C. Graves at 2:45. The most well-fed sargeant in the U.S. Army at 3:14. Dr. Marshall G. Holloway at 4:25.
Yes, that was Carroll Tyler, the top AEC field operations leader with the ball cap, shades, and virtually surgically attached cigarette in mouth or hand, inspecting the instruments at 2:45 .
At 4:25 you see Los Alamos director Norris Bradbury talking to Alvin Graves (Los Alamos Test Division Boss), Marshall Holloway, and Richard Clark (backside).
Holloway and Clark led field testing at NNSS then.
@@EK14MeV Thanks for that great rundown!
@@MrShobar You’re welcome.
Too bad Graves survived the fatal Louis Slotin accident at Los Alamos.
I loved this map in cod black ops. Good times
Nuclear bombs are honestly as beautiful as they are terrifying.
Listen, getting these missing parts are easy. Ring up Joel Cohen and BB King's Estate; tell them you're with the Ace Tomato Company and want a Pepsi to go. I'd ask them myself, but I don't have the pull you folks do. Plus, that ride down to WOMP is rough. Almost made the balloon-knot fall into my shoes.
❤❤❤
Who is smoking there? Smoking is not allowed in whole academy named NABA.But uniform is good looking.
How big was that black target?
4:14 blatant composite
Les pauvres , la plupart de ces personnes doivent entre morte d un cancer , gravement malade ou avoir transmis des cancers à leur enfants …..
Some contemporary music would have made it anyway. 🎶😁
Some throbbing electric guitars? No thanks.
чиво
Algorithm.
Horrible watermarks
Who and what filmed the nuclear explosion at the city test site?
