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

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.

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.

My thoughts exactly

Don't forget the children the people on the island

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 👀

This was captured by international space cameras not a camera man, get real guys, this is true and it's going to happen, because there re selfish and heartless animals called human, who re satanic in mind

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. Were ukranians fight, russian don't get a meter further, just die or turn arround! The Ukraian flagg polish flaggs nato USA German flaggs baltic finnish will be on top in the burning cities of moscow, minsk st petersburg etc etc. Putin is walking in a trap. 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.

@@dumaguetedreamer Yes good point; it's not an isolated incident.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

I was a kid in the 50s...I can tell you, we had air raid drills in elementary school, and one could hear the spooky wailing of air raid warnings, that went off every Friday at noon, in Seattle, for many years...not too soothing, really!..not to mention the Cuban Missle Crisis!...there was a lot of generalized, subliminal fear in the American culture.

@@curbozerboomer1773 interesting, this seems like a reoccurring theme

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

Why not?

@@mattf9076 I don't get why they just use one huge artificial lake as a nuclear test site. Kinda odd.

So you hate yourself then because you’re a human as well

Please do not condemn all of humanity because some individual materialists decide to bring their nightmarish and destructive inventions into the world.

Humans act on the same instincts as all the other animals do. We are just more clever on how to act on them. Use some critical thinking.

iam not but elites and usefull idiots are . they tried to sold us whole pandemic to get vax

They didn’t know the exact environmental damage before testing on earth was banned

They look cool, and you never know when you'll need them. Mutually assured destruction isn't a thing anymore.

@@TheSearchForTruth88 You sure?

@@M16_Akula-III We have atomic submarines. It's really easy to launch a nuke without knowing the source for an instant retaliation.

Any person (not necessarily human) who is possessed by demons and hold Satan's disregard for the human condition are the ones.

что длучше война как 2 мировая с 30 миллионов жертв или ядерная война?! так вот -ядерное оружие предотвращают 3 мировую войну с 1945 года

Guys you should read the Bible the word of God will answer so many question we have

@@marvinlouw2823 The Bible is just primitive legend. Snakes don't really talk, men don't really walk on water. It's time we evolved past such silly legends.

Look at the real history of WW2 the atrocious behavior of not just the Nazi but the Japanese and SSR it was a race to see who would be first and if the German's would have gotten it first make no mistake they would have used it. And tho it was unfortunate Japan forced the second atomic bomb by not surrendering, think how many of our grandparents wouldn't have been there to have given you life. So be thankful
