A terrifying amount of power no one should have.
You clearly never met GOD. This kind of power isn't even a speck of dust for your GOD.
Pussy got news for you bro. It’s going the way of this very soon. The strong will survive and the weak shall perish. God won’t stop anyone from having whatever power they choose to have so it is up to us to prevent anything bad from happening from this point forward. Because praying about it……gets you no where

indeed!
We'd be colonising the the whole solar system at the very least, the environment and life on earth would be clean as it was before we arrived, if this shit was done 80 years ago then yes I'd imagine we'd be doing some great things by now, and quite probably secured our future on this planet for the next 1000 years.

Right?!!
Just goes to show the extent they'll go to stay in "power", Even wiping island's from the map. They ensuring no other nation to ever surpass them, or they'll just blow the planet to pieces if they're to become inferior. 😌😌
My father saw the first two tests at Bikini Atoll called Operations Crossroads in July 1946. We had photos my father personally took, but my elementary school borrowed them for a display and never returned them. My father was a a radar tech, but called a radioman. He told me of walking on the atoll with Geiger counters after the tests, and the counters were going crazy. Fortunately, he never suffered any disease from being exposed to high degree of radiation. He passed in 2009.
my father as well was part of the operation(s) at Bikini island and other places, he was a seagoing marine stationed on the USS Curtiss, which was the main transports for those bombs to tests sites. Still have some of his old photos, and copies of the "famous" originals, the goggles they wore to block out the brightness from the blast. My dad even went into how if you held your forearm up to your goggles while the blast went off, you could see into your own arm, the tissue, blood flow, the blast causing an x-ray effect for those on board the ships, and around the island.
Oh yeah, sure, rare photographs were just willingly given to an elementary school...
Can't you come up with anything more believable? LOL
My father witnessed just 4 miles from epicentre the Nagasaki bomb ,..he died aged 52 in 1974...all us children also have health problems from him...I just buried my brother aged 55 this year...I have health issues but not life threatening..yet....my brother seemed to get problems being the last child born..he had cancer at 23...got over that then MS of the spine no memory no speech in a wheelchair couldn't feed himself.

Anyone else think...I wonder how much life we destroyed with that underwater nuke. Not to mention straight up just pumping radiation through the ocean.
I think about this a lot. Probably some crazy sea creatures in the ocean now
Water doesn’t become radioactive, educate yourself before speaking
@@bondemupazanyini4706 the radiation radiates through the ocean. I didn't say the water was radiated...keep up.
@@Eireternal The radioactivity from underwater blast dissipates quite fast compared to the other blast methods so it's not as bad as say a crater shot . But something to remember it is not like they did the blast unprepared , some of the things they did included checking the ocean currents , wind , looking for marine wildlife while also mapping them and the migrations patterns they follow , so its safe to say that damage to the ocean was actually kept pretty minimal for something that size .
@@bondemupazanyini4706 Regardless of the radiation, the explosion itself probably ended a lot of life. Attention to detail, sport.

@@bgood2010 I guess I’d rather know what a stranger thinks. Building a census.
Here we go 🙄🤣
There is an interesting fact about the Tsar Bomba. The explosion would be so huge that to allow the TU-95V to escape the blast zone, they had to drop the bomb by parachute to slow it down. The bomber crew did, however, feel the heat from the blast, and the plane was severely buffeted by the shock wave.
wow
@@danielpl8535 Buffetted doesn't describe it well enough. When the shockwave hit them, the pressure diffirence caused the plane to drop like hundreds of meters in altitude.
Parachutes were often used for this reason.
This has been said 1 million times
@@artix4545 First time I heard it. It's always new to someone.
The fact that we only stopped making bigger bombs because the planes dropping them wouldn’t be able to escape is terrifying
Yeah, not exactly a shining example of the best humanity has to offer. The spectacle is sure something, but at what cost?
i was looking for a comment about the plane escaping it seems impossible
The Japanese used Kamikazes. I am sure that if the need for such a bomb arose there would be no shortage of volunteers prepared to die to save their country. No matter which country we are referring to. We can only hope that there will never be a need for such a bomb.
He also forgot to mention that the bomb could’ve potentially blown a hole through the ozone layer and caused nuclear winter across the globe.
Stopped making bigger bombs "Officially". Don't forget drones 👀
What they don't tell you is that the soldiers who witnessed this bomb later on had children with missing limbs and or learning disabilities, and the soldiers themselves had issues as well such as a lot of them dying from cancer.
They do tell you @ 7:30

Wrong. Check stats on Camp Lejeune guys that died from poisoned water. Far more than nuke tests.

The scariest part of this is that we have crazy people in charge of detonating these things.
Crazy people huh. Every nation that currently holds nukes, even North-Koreans do not want to die. They do not wish the Earth to be destroyed. The Iranians on the other hand, believe in paradise and martyrdom. We shall soon find out how strongly they hold their faith...
This too me is like the extreme of being a pyromaniac. These people are 100% nuts and shit like this is what really fucks global warming up + anything around it. Bunch of Assholes honestly
A little fact: The castle bravo incident that affect a Japanese fishing boat, lead to antinuclear protest in Japan, which lead to the movie, Godzilla.
Hey, Godzilla should be thankful for his 68-year movie career...
so how did he get into a dust up with king kong ?
Ahhh bologna
The first godzilla film was filmed in 1954 the Same year as the bravo incident but the idea for godzilla was birthed 2 years prior and wasn't approved until April 2nd of 1954. And the bravo incident was march 1st of 1954 so it may have caused it to be approved but it didn't lead to it. What inspired the movie was a different monster movie that was filmed 2 years prior and did very well in theaters.
Godzilla leads to destroyer citis, destroyed cities lead to people living in poverty, people living in poverty leads to revolutions, revolutions lead to war, war leads to A-boms...
"A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." -Ronald Reagan

"Hence the reason I ignored the HIV/AIDS epidemic."
One of the few sensible things that rightwinger ever said.
LOL Thank you, Mister Obvious!!!
The guy who drove the plane to test the tsar bomba had a 50% chance of surviving the explosion, even though the nuke had a parachute. Also the bomb was reduced to half its original power.
"And now I'm become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds."
It’s sickening that man is so hell bent on destruction.
Yeah honestly every human that wanted to design this and requires this should be dead. The earth doesn't need humans like this.

Violence was the first art, and the one that is most natural to us. It is the art that gives birth to all other arts. Civilization, communication, negotiation, cooperation, are all concepts that came to fruition because of our close relationship with violence. Our modern society is a product of our attempts to avoid it, and we as a species have come a long ways. Never forget that we are extremely lucky to, as a species, taken alternatives to violence so closely to heart.
@@WishMount what? grow some brains you mad man.
Yes. Being destructive is fun. I sense a nuclear war is coming around 2024.. Maybe it's best they just leave Donald Trump alone already before They start a massive war..
no wonder the earth and atmosphere is so messed up
You'll have to explain what is "messed up."
Eh...That's kinda wrong....
Am sure it didn't help
It’s not messed up. You been brainwashed to think so
who knows what damage those nukes have done and maybe still doing. we know of the butterfly effect. imagine the Nuke effect.
I met a man who was a sailor on board one of the ships during the Marshall Island hydrogen bomb test. He and all sailors were on deck. They were instructed to duck below the level of the side of the ship. Cover the eyes with their hands. He told me those sides were one-foot-thick steel. Then he said this, "I could see the bones in my hands and could see the explosion clearly through a foot of steel". Last I heard of the man he had cancer everywhere and didn't last much past that conversation in 2003.
If the corporate government is willing to abuse that man’s civil rights like that just imagine what they would do to you if they saw a benefit to them.

In 1971, I was drafted into the U.S. Army and became a special weapons section chief and assembler. Nuclear weapons. Our capabilities were 4 different yields, with the last using an Hydrogen isotope called Tritium. I could not believe the government paid me to assemble and take apart special weapons. I also became a demolition expert in uranium and plutonium. What a fun ride. Thanks for the video.
Did you ever work with salted cobalt bombs? That's crazy stuff from what I hear about so called dirty bombs.
@@aethrya No US weapons were ever deployed with cobalt salting. There wasn't any real military argument for them - far more trouble than they're worth.
Who in their right mind tested these evil things on our lovely planet.
The only beings on the planet set on destroy it.
In fairness its just a really big explosion. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rebuilt... Most volcanos release more energy, especially the bigger ones. Also, radiation degrades over time, which cannot be said for some chemical weapons. Bio weapons are even worse. Release something into a reservoir, or spray something on a door handle.... that's the stuff of nightmares.

Just because you can play god, does not mean you should play god. There are forces greater than we need to understand. And the toll just keeps going on and on.
The Tsar bomba actually had a potential to produce a 100 megaton blast but was scaled down to 50 megaton due to the fact that the plane dropping it would have had no chance of survival, amongst other things.
To put into context a 100 or even a 50 megaton blast would COMPLETELY vaporize ( turn to dust) the greater London area, not to mention the secondary damage and radioactive fallout.
Even with all the data on how big the Tsar Bomba blast was, most people will still HEAVILY underestimate how enormous that really was in their imagination.
It’s nearly unfathomable what that would actually look like had you seen it in person.
see these nuts, m'nig
Remember they used only 50% of its projected power
Probably the brightest flash you’d ever see, followed by death or permanent blindness lol
It flattened the entire forest on the island in siberia with just the air blast. The fireball in these large nukes is actually doing very little destruction in comparison to the air blast imo.
You could destroy at least 1/3rd of LA easy with a Tsar Bomba. Hiroshima is like a thimble in comparison, had what like 200k or 300k people? It's population and Nagasaki's doubled 1 year after the war when they were mostly rebuilt by that time and thankfully not permanently radiactive thanks to the airburst method used carrying a lot of the radiation into the upper atmorphere by cross winds and high winds.
The weather during those attacks was such a huge consideration its nuts - they called it off I think 7 times because of visibility obscuring the or too low of cross winds to carry out most of the fallout. It's crazy how much they actually knew and were capable of. I mean youd t hink when scientists on the project say something like "We're afraid it could ignite the atmosphere to like the one of 6 sitting Senators that knew about the project that it'd get shut down in favor of just continuing firebombing.
I'm pretty sure it could maybe even temporarily blind you if you looked right at it for too long tbh. There's a video I played if forget what its called but the nuke in the multiplayer was adjusted by fan made mods to be of realistic size and "anatomically accurate" to the real thing, fireball, air burst etc. And even at a safe distance it is insanely bright and you can barely see anything for almost an entire minute til the smoke rises over the fireball its hardly orange at all its bright fucking yellow - brighter than the sun tbh, I had to look away from the screen as well - and just like i always thought - most of the damage is from air blast being insanely wide. LIke a minute man that we have all over the place ( a few in italy still i think) is weaker than a tsar bomba i think its like maybe 10 or 20 megatons. But one of those has maybe a few miles wide which is nothing to scoff at of course yet the airburst doesn't EVEN SLOW DOWN despite resistance on skyscrapers and stuff for like 27 fucking miles.
The good thing about these big bombs is they cost an insane amount of money to make and transport. Ya cant really practice with them at least few countries do it anymore at all. And when they do blow them up back int he 60s 70s and 80s the footage is so old the sense of scale is difficult to imagine. Todays youth should get to see one blown up in Nevada at the base with a probably a hundred miles of nuclear craters on it. And just blow up one of the big ones out there in 16k and put that shit out there just so people can respect the power of it all.
And btw I dont think nuclear winters are even possible and ill end my multi point rant with this: over 2000 nukes have been blown up of ever increasing magnitudes on this planet - ALL Over it. In the ocean ( france actually is the biggest offender here not the US, they probably killed entire species of fish with their tests ) in the upper atmosphere, on land, right above land, below land as well. It doesn't matter how much dust it kicks up, even 10 or 20 of them back to back to back which was VERY common in the 60s as far as I could tell, pale in comparison to the winterizing effects of most volcano eruptions and REALLY REALLY pale in comparison to even ONE of the large forest fires Cali produces on a monthly basis. I mean 70 miles of grass and shit was on fire there not long ago. I looked at it from space and the smoke was like half the size of a hurricane, in other words hundreds and hundreds of miles of it.
Actually, when you look at both the blast, shock wave, and extensive heat, one Tsar Bomba could irreparably damage most all of LA. Of course, the radiation would also make it and the surrounding area uninhabitable. Unless by "LA" you meant the entire greater LA metro area (which many people think of when they say "Los Angeles"), by that metric, you are pretty much spot on.
I've been subscribed for a year now and I'm still enjoying your content. You keep things nice and factual, with no unnecessary embellishments, and that allows me to understand the full impact of whatever you're talking about instead of focusing on how you've described it. Thank you.
Nukes were and are a hoax!! Russia is defeated cant even make a fist in ukrain. Remember east ukrain choose russia at first nobody fought them.

Russian bla bla military economic power publicly debunkt. Nuclear bombs are always have been a hoax never existed by the way ;-)
And to think that I came here and read your comment is a bonus.
Facts don’t have impact on their own, they need to be put into context. Descriptions help to establish that context. A video of a 6 megaton yield is a fact but a vivid description of what a 6 megaton yield can do and the conditions within and around the blast gives the visual an impact.
@@dirtyaznstyle4156 Everybody learns in different ways. A vivid description can and has been a good way to learn. Purely factual points can and have also been a good way to learn. At the end of the day understanding what's being said is the important part, and I just so happen to find less embellished descriptions easier to understand.

Just Imagine if all the fantastic minds that have ever existed had been put to work on the means of life instead of death what a wonderful world it would be
There's a parallel argument as well: just imagine the scientific miracles we could have discovered with all the funding used instead on the world's militaries.
You can call it science or fantastic minds but also consider this: "For the Devil cometh not but to rob, kill and destroy."
Destruction is the Doctrine of Fallen Watchers who taught them to mankind. Without this heavenly Fallen Watchers knowledge, mankind would not be about making the Biggest and Meanest Weapon of Mass Destruction.

The Tsar bomba is simply.. like a hand grenade to me. You see, I’m lactose intolerant.. just give me a venti sized iced coffee with extra whipped cream, from the local Starbucks for around $5.. wait for an hour. Then you’ll see a real nuke
That's not a nuclear explosion at sea. Its Chuck Norris doing a cannonball.
At this point we weren't even testing them to see how effective they'd be in combat, cuz we all know they'd all just absolutely clear out the battlefield. We're just testing them to see how big it go boom
We were definitely testing them to see how effective they'd be in combat. Formulas were created to scale the expected yield of the explosive based on input materials. After about a dozen tests, there wasn't much need to see how big it could go boom, aside from when the USA and the USSR were trying to one-up each other with yield flexes.
Many of the tests were done to see how well certain materials could hold up to the blast and at what distances, how the blasts affected the environment, how the blasts would affect infrastructure, how the blasts could harm the population, how the blasts would work underwater, underground, in air, and in space. Tests were done to sample fallout dispersal and which explosives would yield the most or least fallout, how winds would carry it, how certain types of nuclear explosions would generate differing yields of fallout, etc.
There are a whole hell of a lot of research areas when it comes to nuclear weapons. It wasn't purely for enjoying the spectacle (although I'm sure anyone watching in person took awe in the display).
The Soviet Union kept getting bigger but the US kept going smaller trying to get “more bang for the buck”.
I worked in a convalescent hospital in the mid 70s where I met a man who was there as a patient, because he was one of the servicemen stationed on Bikini Atoll and was afflicted with radiation exposure.
From the middle of his thighs both of his legs were as if his bones were made of rubber. His legs and feet looked somewhat normal, but there was no rigidity to his skeletal structure as a result of having spent time standing in radioactive sand following the tests.
He didn't appear to be in any pain and he was actually fairly cheerful and friendly when I'd go into his room to help him out.

Just as matter of fact checking, Bikini Atoll wasn't uninhabited. Many people lived there, and the US forced them to leave the island and their homes so that they could do their tests. Even now in 2022, the radiation is too strong to make the island habitable.

I've never seen the slow motion footage before of I.V. Mike. It was actually quite fascinating. You can see several similarities to the sun, such as the "granular bubbles" of plasma in the expanding sphere. Scale that up, and it looks JUST like what the magnetic bubbles are therorized to look like (in structure) at the heliopause at the edge of the solar system.
So fascinating, captivating, beautiful, and terrifying.

Well, The sun is created by nuclear fusion! It's a big ass hydrogen bomb that is constantly exploding from it's hydrogen fuel source and the blasts get sucked back in with gravity. I V Mike was also a hydrogen bomb created by fusion...

Nice doc very well done😮
My great Uncle was an army vet, military used him and many others as guinea pigs at the Nevada nuclear resting site in the 50s. He told my dad he could see the bones in his hand while covering his eyes when the bomb went off. He lived to his 60s, died of cancer

And possibly many other countries in secret.

@@stephaniegalliart859It's been happening for years before tiktok, watch any of those videos about the horrors of the ocean for example. People have been putting dark horror music over videos like this since the dawn of YT
The tsar bomba was designed for 100mt explosion. It was actually toned down for the fear of the unknown.
It was more to do with toning down because the plane delivering the bomb(the one that dropped it) would have been wiped out In the blast,acording to thier calculations there was no way for the plane and its crew to survive if that 100mt bomb was dropped.
I was like “where have I seen the wahoo explosion before?” and then realized they use it spongebob whenever something exploded🤣
crazy the way you input the visions in the clouds.
Imagine feeling a nuclear bomb 500-600 Miles away! I drive trucks, and just to even think of that, is pretty Terrifying
Apparently it would blow the windows out of your truck lol
The blastwave actually traveled around the earth two times and could still be meassured...
The ginormous amount of marine life that's been devastated by these tests is sickening!
I was thinking the same thing.
The amount of human life destroyed by nukes is horrific.
I thought the same
And the problem is the fishing... fcking clowns..
@@andyb619 pales in comparison to human life lost in every other conventual sense of war actually. Japanese killed more of their own citizens than any nuke ever killed
The sage says: "Don't poke the Russian bear, no matter the size of the stick."
We're poking it.
Its interesting to hear that some of the bombs interacted in strange ways and doubled the yield and yet apparently the safety measures were ok? I guess when you're dropping nukes it pays to be extra cautious, but I imagine in most tests something doubling in power is gonna hurt someone.
Incorrect assumptions. There were instances where a larger yield than expected caused serious harm. The Sedan test was one such incident. It was an underground test in which the fireball was stronger than expected and breached the ground throwing millions of tons of radioactive soil into the atmosphere. The test was conducted in Nevada but radioactive particles were scattered across nearly the whole country.
My grandfather was an equipment opperator in the SEABEES in WW2, & was part of the Marshall Islands tests.
The Tsar Bomba was originally designed as a three-stage thermonuclear device with an intended yield of approximately 100 MT, but Russian scientists found that it would have been unstable, so they eliminated one of the three detonation stages to reduce the yield to about 50 MT.
My understanding is that they replaced the planned last stage Uranium jacket with lead, so they lost the final fission boost which would have produced half the power of the original designed 100 MT yield, thus yielding the 50 MT blast. It also used several cores cobbled together rather quickly to get a demonstration weapon ready due to politcal timing. It was a 'stunt-ish' bomb made to impress rather than a well designed bomb. The biggest single core bomb is a US bomb that yielded 25 MT. Once you get to those sizes and above they really lose their utility because they are so long ranged, You're wiping out significant fraction of entire European countries with one or a few bombs. They also get hard to deliver. The Tu-95 never would have been able to deliver them without being shot down well before reaching any targets, and typical missiles couldn't loft them. They would have required things like the Saturn 1B at least, which isn't a quick reaction rocket. And then once you get to bombs above 100 MT, you find that the horizon prevents the further effective destructive range (a space explosion isn't going to generate the shock waves, over-pressures, etc.) You effectively wind up blowing a maximum volume of atmosphere roughly consisting of the horizon-diameter atmosphere column into space faster and faster the bigger the explosion, instead of affecting larger areas.Multiple smaller bombs and MIRVs are much more useful.
If you look up the declassified video on this at one point they show the innards of it, it had 6 thermonuclear units inside, the final stage would have went in the center of these. It was a simple cylinder of u238 with LiD and a rod of HEU inside. If triggered it would have be upwards of 120 to 150Mt which is mind numbingly scary. 🤓
Watch the very first Superman movie (again if you haven't already). You'll know when you hear it. Monstrous nonsense!
No, they found out that it would be too powerful and might affect the planet itself so they told the commanders that they really do not recommend detonating such a powerful bomb and that half it size is powerful enough to show the Americans that they are not to be messed with . They agreed to 50% of the force. It wasn’t about being unstable it was about it being way too powerful . They would’ve shattered windows in Moskow and affect the Earth’s crust and even rotation so they made it half as powerful because of that .
I was Air Force 3 years. I saw B52s take off in simulated attacks and it was scary. I hope nukes are never used again
It's like that old 'Lays Potato Chip' slogan " You can't eat just one!"💣
For those of yall wondering, there ARE people that live/lived in the Marshall Islands at the time...there's a great documentary on CZcams about the aftermath of the H bomb testing there
The people involved in making this bomb should have the task of tidying up after
The bikini atoll was populated. The us military kicked about 90% of the citizens off to other islands in the Marshall Islands. I have a friend that worked at kwadulen (sp?) the base in the Marshall Islands. The people of the islands surrounding got poisoned or killed from the blast. The citizens who refused to leave bikini atoll unfortunately lost their lives. Most of those military and civilians involved in the nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands didn’t live long lives either due to the radiation ☢️
USA, the most terrorist country on Earth.
Its a god damn shame to this day there are lawsuits going on from all the people who got sick from the test.
Just pay the fucking people man. jesus our government is SO EVIL.
They were Guinea pigs that’s all
And theres still a pile of nuclear waste there that the US covered in a concrete dome, which is now failing and waste is seeping out into the ocean…
Is that true?
Thank you CZcams algorythym overlords for scaring the absolute fuck out of me right before I lay down for bed
People lived on these islands and saw it happen in real time & didn’t understand what was gloom,they thought the world was over!
I had a friend who served in the Army in the early 50's. He described being present during a test blast out in Nevada. He passed a couple years back at 83.

If the rule according to you is that you have to like and sub the channel and leave
yeah, I call bullshit. Anyone within "viewing" distance was on a deathbed within decades. The united states had no idea of the after effects of what they were testing.
@@Jacob_Spang You are right about the US Army not knowing and that is why they frequently subjected enlisted men to experumental studies like exposure to radiation, hallucinogenic drugs, mind control techniques and lets not forget Agent Orange. My friend served between 1948 and 1952, I have no reason to believe he lied about being a part of this Army exercise.
I can feel the radiation seeping though my screen…
Tsar Bomba. Gosh the name alone sounds like it would strike terror into the hearts of those who heard it.
Yes! Existential dread is a beauitful way to begin the weekend!
We don't need aliens to destroy us. We do it ourselves
Great video but that was absolutely disgusting to see what damage we have done to our lifesystem

That ivy Mike looks horrific. How can we do this to each other and the planet.
You can’t profit off helping.
That’s why we have you and so many others, but you guys aren’t contributing anything now are you?

Edit : And besides, if I made one person acknowledge and laugh at my mid-tier work that is ALL that matters. One person at a time.
13:30 The concept that the plane delivering the payload would not survive as the deterrent is really a look into practical ethics. M.A.D. and just overall concepts seemed to somewhat detour the weapons- but the fact a single life or aircraft trumped ANY of that is just nuts. It is the train switch dilemma blown up (not like that lol) to an unimaginable scale.
These are truly terrifying
It’s sad.
Once these were created, you’ll never get rid of them.
No one thought this could eventually effect the planet, welcome to 2022. 🤔
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🌏 Nuclear weapons developed post-WWII far exceeded the power of war-era bombs, and their impact on the world was shocking.
01:12 💣 The first large-scale thermonuclear test, code-named Ivy Mike, took place in 1952 on Elugelab Island, with a blast of 10.4 megatons of TNT.
03:11 🏝️ Operation Castle saw significant nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll between 1946 and 1958, including Castle Romeo (11 megatons) and Castle Yankee (13.5 megatons).
06:18 ☢️ Castle Bravo's unexpected 15 megaton explosion in 1954 caused widespread radiation contamination and led to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
10:36 💥 The Tsar Bomba, detonated by the Soviet Union in 1961, was the largest nuclear device ever tested, with an estimated yield of 58 megatons of TNT.
Measuring mushroom cloud height in empire state buildings is so cute.
Yea, that’s something to be proud of! Instead of making this world a better place to live, we think the opposite. 👽
Human nature..destroy everything in its path.
Those r sickos civilized.
My Grandfather was on a fishing boat offshore of California when they tested one of these bombs he said it was at night the flash was so bright for a number of seconds it was like the sun was rising. They could see everything as if it was daytime then a loud crack small shockwave. They were many miles away but it still hit them.
That is nuts! Where were they testing the bomb?
My son told me before i was born he seen one also.
I hope he was felt very proud causing destruction of life.
@@stuart3712 what
@@darthball2723 motherfucker was so close it sent his unborn son through time to tell him about it
You know this is a prime example of just because we can do something, doesn’t mean we should.

@@mikejenz7180 thx
💯 Agreed 👍 😊
Seems like a completely insane thing to have.
Power-hungry politicans are usually insane.
According to what I have read, the Tsar Bomba was designed as a 100 Megaton thermonuclear, and I think it was no less than Sakharov himself who cut the blast in half, by using lead instead of uranium as the pressure "tamper" instead of the customary uranium 238, which is fissile by the neutrons from the fusion stage. In other words, unlike all the others, it was a pure H-Bomb.
So there was no fision to activate the fusion stage? I had no idea until today wow
A terrifying amount of power no one should have.. A terrifying amount of power no one should have..
Can't imagine how much sea life perished in the water tests
How much is still being contaminated as this spread around planetary ocean sphere and continues to disperse.
Right no one knows
@@jamesbowen2105 Not as much as from leaded fuel...
When they say: "the test was a great success"
Yeah, a great success to destroy the planet instead to take care of the beauty that God gave us 😥
Try one on my head i will survive the worsts easy .like hell i am.or if you are not sure that i wont die use all of earth nuclear bombs. i take cold breath like superguy dude kal el.
You wouldn’t task a chemist working on the most highly secretive project in world history to focus on anything but getting the best results out of whatever they are testing. If the kid flipping burgers at McDonalds starts trying to go work next door at Burger King while he is still on the clock, management would probably go grab him and bring to work on flipping burgers.
I know we have not yet seen the fullest destructive capabilities of Nuclear Weapons, and I understand completely what you are trying to say. But imagine the entire world locked in a brutal world war and the fighting with Japanese in the South Pacific is slow and Arduous, and victory is measured generally with body count. Millions of innocent lives have been taken in this war and the detonation 2 key nuclear bombs proved to be the catalyst that was necessary to stop the conflict. The environmental damage was severe enough that even governments that benefitted greatly by having these bombs in their arsenal saw the need to severely regulate their use and today most militaries will take a bomb that can land directly into a man’s cup of coffee than a bomb that just turns into a fireball with a 5-mile radius. Precision guided bombs are much better than lighting off the worlds biggest fire cracker. For one thing, the country who decides to go ahead and use one of it’s nuclear weapons will have enough time to light it off and then sit in on a debriefing for maybe an hour and if he clicked on the news then he would most likely see every major city in his country on fire. Not that a mad man cares but that’s reality. Mutually assured destruction.
Where was this God when these potential world enders were being detonated?
@@flashmore3 Oh yes, the typical misguided blame. It appears that you don’t believe that God even exists. Yet you were expecting Him to magically appear and fix all of our problems? In order for you to believe what you believe, God wouldn’t be able to just come and intervene in our affairs any time some unbeliever thinks He should. So you have this thing about you where you can choose to be whoever you want to be. Most people choose to be part of some kind of uncleanness. If God is to be the being He is he cannot take part in uncleanness. So long ago he surrendered us over to our own will and judgment. If He had not done this then all humanity would just believe in Him.
With that said, let’s consider what you are trying to get at. “Where was this God when…”? People all over the world want to turn their fists and shake them at the Heaven’s when some man made disaster happens. This God was everywhere, just as he always has been. To blame him for not coming to the rescue when you don’t even believe in Him is typical of the arrogance that Humankind displays. We can destroy each other and Hod will not stop us. But he is ready to completely deliver us from the uncleanness that envelopes the entire world.
Humans think they are in charge of something. It’s astounding. We aren’t in charge of anything. The fact is we often times wake up in the morning and then just grab on and hang on for the ride. We can’t control the color of one hair on our head. Scientists have discovered that the spectrum of light is so vast that what our eyes can see constitutes only 3% of what is actually out there. In other words, there is a reality, whole dimensions of time and space that exist in the 97% of light we cannot see with our eyes. God will always exist in the space we cannot see with our eyes.
We have all been condemned to die, and each and every one of us will pass through those gates. Jesus Christ was the only man who died, and then in front of many people overcame death. By overcoming death, he provided us a blueprint to do the same thing. This is not religious jargon or some denominational nonsense. Rome, the most powerful army on my he planet sought to bring the whole world under its reign. But the powerful events that came to pass in the life of Jesus spread so quickly they could not even murder those who were becoming believers in Him fast enough.
Think about that. The people who believed in Jesus Christ did so at the risk of death. Rome and the Jewish communities would have murdered them just for saying that they believed in Jesus. People don’t risk death for a fairy tale. Rome spent several hundred years attempting to control the spread of this Christianity through murder, but it became apparent to them that they could never be successful doing this. So they completely changed their tactics and came up with the brilliant idea of trying to hijack Christianity and they created Roman Catholicism. Then they just taxed anyone who believed in Christianity and and murdered anyone didn’t pay taxes to belief. They also sold imaginary places in Heaven to people who had the money. They built a vast empire on the fortunes collected through this racket.
None of that changes anything that Jesus Christ ever did. He isn’t responsible for the percersions of mankind. He simply gave everyone alive access to something that could never die or be killed. A method to purify ourselves from the uncleanness of this world. Believe it or don’t believe it. Read this, or just let your eyes glaze over and your heart harden to it. It will always be here for anyone ready for something better.
@@flashmore3 Ηe was getting the popcorn ready to watch a cool fireworks display.
Ego is the motivation behind all this. Human ego is sick and corrupt.
These continuous explosions could even vary Earth’s orbit.....It's insanity!
As an experienced pilot who has flown up and down the Hudson River since I was first licensed to fly airplanes in 1969, I can accurately superimpose the "lake" created by this blast and conclude it would be similar to a device eliminating most of the central Manhatten Island. The shock wave would probably go out at least 25 miles in all directions decimating Newark N.J. and going as far as, if not further than Wayne, N.J. All other life beyond those boundaries would be hard pressed to remain alive. But what do I really know? This is just my humble opinion.
Yes. Thank you for posting.
You are correct.
Hello
Best thing that could happen to newark
They should drop one on Manhattan.
Cobalt bombs are nothing to mess with either, not for the size of the blast, but the radiation toxicity of the fallout
I think it's good to note that the only reason Bikini Atoll was uninhabited during these tests is that the US cleared the inhabitants out first, sending them to a much smaller island where they couldn't get enough food and lived in continual malnutrition
Similar treatment to the inhabitants of Diego Garcia by the Brits and Yanks.
@@dumaguetedreamer Yes good point; it's not an isolated incident.
Sickening, the recklessness… Awesome yet nightmarish.
Disturbing on so many levels that the only reason there isn’t a bigger weapon is due to not being able to deliver it without killing the messenger too.
I don't think this is the reason. Could just attach it to a rocket, no need for a human to pilot a plane.
@@SaintNath In the past they couldnt do it so easily. Also, today they arent developing new nuclear weapons, correct me if i'm wrong.
Use unmanned planes
It's disturbing that you don't realize how silly that statement is on so many levels.
The Japanese would have had kamikaze pilots drop a bigger blast lmao
