  • The Atomic Cannon, at 280 mm, was the largest nuclear weapons capable mobile artillery piece manufactured by the United States. On May 25, 1953, a 280 mm cannon fired an atomic projectile a distance of 7 miles at the Nevada Test Site. The test known as "Grable," exploded with a force of 15 kilotons, similiar to that of Hiroshima. Twenty 280 mm cannons were manufactured. None were used in battle. Sequence from the HD version of "Trinity and Beyond - The Atomic Bomb Movie" available on blu-ray.

    Just for information for those who don't know much about Nuclear explosions, at 1:05 the objects seem to "smoke" for a few seconds. This is because it encountering heat up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for half a second. Then, the blast wave (shockwave) blasts it all away at nearly half the speed of sound.

    For people wondering how the cameras (usually) survive. The following info is from documents archived at DTIC.
    The cameras for closeup destruction shots (1:16 , cameras also visible) are placed on top of 18 or 10 foot steel poles, and have a diameter of 8 inches (called as a GSAP Tower, short from Gun Sight Aiming Point, which was a small ironsights camera used on WWII fighter planes).
    The poles are set into a concrete base and are anchored to the ground using guy wires. With these poles, the captured footage is unobstructed from dust flying beneath. The cameras themselves are in steel boxes protected with 2½ inch thick lead shields weighing 350 pounds.
    For this test named ''Grable'', 94 cameras were used, and 18 of them were destroyed and blown away. 14 of those destroyed were GSAP Towers.

      ...and of one of the quickest deaths known to mankind! Abominable is the person that thought up this monstrousity of monstrousities in the first place! I still remember somebody saying a simple phrase, so long ago..."Thou shalt not kill". The only reasons that the Israelites were given command to kill people, and that being a strict order from God, is because the people of other lands had settled on the lands that God had promised to his people, and that they had become ensconced in Idol Worship. God wanted the Israelites to have the lands that were to be rightfully theirs, and didn't want them involved in Idol Worship. Idol Worship is Wickedness. God told them to kill (destroy) the wicked people dwelling on God-Ordained Israelite territories. The people didn't fully follow God's commands, which were kill the wicked, and take the land. The disobedience of the Israelites led to lots of trouble in the times following. That's the only reason ever given in the Bible for killing people. This Nuclear stuff, however, was never meant to be, but some people decided to play "God", and this is the end result-Death!!!
