  • The following clips were from an atomic test known as Teapot Apple 2 and Operation Cue which took place on May 5, 1955. Project 39.4c provided remotely operated photographic coverage of blast and thermal damage to physical structures. Apple 2 was a 29 Kiloton nuclear test. A total of 48 cameras were operated at distances from ground zero of from 2750 ft to 10,500 ft.
    These particular clips were photographed both inside and outside of the houses at distances ranging from 4700', 5500', 7800' and 10500' from Ground Zero. They have been cleaned up for the most part with sound effects added.
    May 2015 will mark the 60th Anniversary of these historic and iconic images.

      It's easy to build strong camera emplacements, when you know what it has to withstand ahead of time and are not impeded with a close budget. Those lack of constraints are sadly not available to the average home builder.

And since I doubt they walked, the cars were probably their own personal ones.

    This video was just during my basic training. It beatifully shows the different phases of the explosion. 1st is the flash which is bright enough to permanently blind people looking directly at it. 2nd is the heat wave which vaporises everything close enough to it (for example the paint covering the houses). 3rd is the shockwave created by the blast. 4th is the shockwave of air being sucked back into the vacuum created by the blast. 5th is nuclear radiation being spreaded and 6th is the Electro Magnetic Pulse that fries all electronics close enough. If you ever get in the unlikely event of a nuclear explosion, lay on the ground face down with your feet pointing in the direction of the blast.

      Nr 1, 2 and 6 are all the same thing and come first. Most of the energy is released in x-rays but plenty of visible light too. Thermal radiation is just light. It's the lighr that sets stuff on fire like a laser beam. Broad spectrum electromagnetic pulse across all frequencies from radio to infrared, visible and all the way to gamma rays but the vast majority is in x-rays. So the light, heat and emp arrive at the same time, your TV cuts out, while you are blinded and set on fire, then comes the shockwave. Radiation exposure is both prompt from the x-rays etc in the moment of detonation moving at the speed of light (in air) and delayed from the fission profucts falling back down and material being sucked into the fireball and becoming activated and radioactive. High altitude detonation with no fallout will still kill you with radiation sickness. Fallout you ingest and alpha rays shoot your molecules apart from the inside. Gamma and x-rays smash your molecules (especially DNA, proteins, amino acids etc...) from afar. Alpha rays can't pen a sheet of paper so they are "harmless" unless ingested. That's why you can hold the plutonium core of a bomb in your hands, no problem (heavy though) or natural uranium. But if you smash the uranium with a hammer and breath in the dust, yeah... call the ambulance. Gamma and x ray go through walls like radio. Only thick heavy material stops it like 3 m of lead. Or soil is good too.
      Also the blindness can recover. The eye has a remarkable ability to heal. Even if you burn out all your "sensors" they will grow back. Vision returns after minutes to days to weeks, depending how close you where, how bright it was. Same thing as staring at the sun. Your eyes recover. But don't do it. Still likely permanent damage, not 100% again. It depends. Everyone is different. Crawl upwind after detonation. You can feel that if you still have skin left, which is unlikely as close as these houses are. That's more in the "poof" regime.

It's not like a test where after 30 s there's only some blackened desert, there would be firestroms and skyscrapers toppled so I'm guessing it would be pretty obvious where the bomb went off roughly. Of course if you're blinded and crawling along the pavement with radiation burns it probably doesn't make much of a difference what direction you crawl you won't be making a lot of progress and also you're extremely unlikely to survive. If it's even a question qhere the bomb went off you were far enough away and then probably best stay put and close the windows. I forget what the scenario was, an all out exchange or some terror attack. If it's the latter help is on the way and you best stay qhere you are if it's the former you ahould probably envy the corpses.

Simply exploding a bomb at surface level probably wouldn't do it, unless the bomb was of an extremely unconventional and fundamentally impractical yield. But if you buried the bomb at a decent depth, you'd more easily reach earthquake-like conditions. Project Cannikin was a 5MT bomb buried in Alaska and its detonation was measured as 7.0. That gives a good estimate. Maybe somewhere between 8 and 12MT (again, buried) would reach 7.5.

    • @Dr.TJ_Eckleburg
      @Dr.TJ_Eckleburg Před 7 lety +18

      It all depends on how close/far you were from the blast really. At some point, even if you built a structure that could withstand the blast, you'd still be cooked from the heat alone. No getting around that.

    • @puncheex2
      @puncheex2 Před 7 lety +9

      The heat pulse is not that much to contend with. After all, all you need is a layer of material that could stand up to the heat for, oh, 5 seconds to hide behind. Of course that may become difficult to find closer in than a half-mile. OTOH, again, at a half mile or less the prompt radiation gets dangerously high at around there, and that is no where near as easy to avoid. Lead lined refrigerator notwithstanding.
      If you look ata video of the Grable shot (teh one out of a canon), you'll notice black and white smoke near ground zero before the blast. That was an experiment to determine whether white or black smoke would interfere with the heat pulse better. As it turned out, they were both pretty effective in absorbing/reflecting the light/heat.

    I do find the test setups fascinating and it must've been some crazy work to set up identical houses at further intervals and such to test the effects, especially additional infrastructure like power and radio broadcast to see how it would affect Smalltown, U.S.A. in the event of an attack. You can even see with the furthest single-story that the power was still on after the blast.

You forget they’re an incredibly violent, unthinkably powerful monstrosity that will bulldoze everything at the speed of sound. I’m in awe at the raw power of these weapons. Even these small explosions set everything near them ablaze instantly, vaporizing the surface layer of paint and brush, and then destroying them all soon after.
    The fireball is just a side effect. Its main function is what you see here. To deliver overwhelming destructive force to a large area.

This test was meant to showcase the power of destruction on human infrastructure, mainly buildings at different distances from ground zero.

    After Reagan and I saw this a few hours ago, I had to climb out of the ground and let those at Atomcentral know what a fantastic job they are doing with this footage in it's organization, preservation and updating. You know, this particular presentation reminds me of the time when Ike and I came out to the proving grounds to watch these tests in action and he later went to eat some of the roast beef that was done to perfection. He turned a little green later on, but he was a tough old man and blamed it on rookies in Supply. They gave me some it too, but I fed it to Checkers.
    Gentlemen, a damn fine presentation. Keep up the good work.

    What’s extra creepy about the video is how it’s shot in black and white but the sky is just black so you can see the horizon but it all looks like a toy set, mannequins adding that effect too, so it looks like everything is insignificant compared to even the effects of the bomb.

    A thought occurs to me: They did not (I think?) have any easy way to transmit this footage to a central location off-site in 1955. So that means somebody climbed through the irradiated rubble to each of these camera locations to recover the film. My hat (but not my lead-lined hood) is off to them, whoever they were.

    This takes me back to grade school, growing up in the early 1970s when we regularly had atomic bomb drills, similar to earthquake drills (I grew up in Southern California). In both instances we were told to duck and cover.
    Looking back, the drills may have worked well for an earthquake. But a nuclear attack? We would have been nothing but ashes whether we ducked and covered, or simply remained in our seats. They used to tell us "If you see the flash, duck and cover". Folks, if you see the flash, you're dead.

      You never now from how far you're from the impact zone and what direction the wave is coming from. You know, there's deadzone, where you're pretty much dead, but you may get serious cut's from debris ( 99% shattered glass particles ) even at greater distances. You need a little math to get idea of how blast waves work, ---> 🎯. Instant death rate gets lower more you get closer to border of circle, but casualties (almost) remain high because of larger impact zone.

    One of the scariest things I find about this is even if someone *somehow* manages to avoid being roasted to death or pulverized by the blast wave and flying debris, they're still a walking corpse anyways from the sheer amount of radiation coming off the point of impact. No matter what you do, you're D-O-N-E Fucked.
