Respect to the construction workers for building the city after each testing.

No humans were harmed in the filming of these explosions, only New Yorkers.

ladies and gentlemen, I am from Russia. I hope it doesn’t come to the real use of nuclear bombs; let’s not test this infographic in practice. peace for everyone 🇷🇺🇺🇸

TSAR BOMBA would flatten the entire city!

The “thermal radiation” area is hot enough to set anything flammable on fire (trees, cars, telephone poles) and to cause 3rd degree burns through all layers of your skin. It also hits first, before the blast wave.

For those who don't know, blast radius of nuclear bombs grows by a factor of cube root. And so to make a bomb with 10 times larger radius, you'd need a 1000 times larger bomb (Radius ~ Energy^(1/3) in other words). That's why it seems like larger bombs are "somewhat" bigger but not exactly as expected by us when looking at the animation. There are some dimminishing returns when building bigger nukes, first of all, it's not totally linear where you add 2x energy, and get 2x more destruction of the city, ground zero could be worse, but then again ground zero is always bad, unless detonated at an altitude. Detonating a bomb at an altitude causes a larger destruction radius, yet less actual destruction in ground zero, and so bunkers would survive, maybe even good concrete buildings. The biggest plus to above ground detonations is that it doesn't cause a nuclear fallout. And if we speak about buildings, lets look at Hiroshima, where most were wooden, they all burnt to ash and many people died, yet the concrete buildings around ground zero survived! Now if we would drop such a bomb in a modern concrete city, the death tall would be significantly lower than that of Hiroshima. Then we have the limitation of about 10MT for a single bomb, anything above it should escape into space since the energy would expand so high, that it would puncture a hole in the atmosphere. Tsar Bomba was disappointing to the Russians, it did indeed puncture a hole, and much escaped into space. While the bomb was detonated at an altitude of 13,000ft which was perfect for that size of 50 Megatons, there was still snow left at ground zero! What's really scary are MIRVs, or in other words, a warhead with multiple smaller nukes, especially if they don't overlap each other much. Hopefully there won't be a nuclear war ever, maybe only against Godzilla.

Respect to the cameraman flying around and above the city to give us these amazing angles

This was very relaxing and peaceful.

The soundtrack is so chillin🤣

USSR was considering making Tsar Bomba 100MT, but they were afraid that the fallout would spread all over whole USSR, so they only made it 50MT. It is too big to be used in war, there are no logistical means to transport it. The exposion was so big that it shattered windows in Finland and Norway, over 900 km away from blast site. It destroyed everything within 55 km and caused radio communications to be down for an hour. One observer felt the thermal pulse 270 km away

The fact that we humans, as small as we are, could possibly create something so devastating and destructive is almost unthinkable

“I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” ― Albert Einstein

The Tsar Bomba makes the Little Boy look like enhanced landscaping for Central Park.

I've never felt so much depression and sadness all at once while listening to relaxing piano music. We are doomed.

Nobody’s wins in a nuclear war.

When the Tsar Bomba blew, it was so powerful, its shockwave went three times around the earth. It even shattered glasses of some building in Finland.

The Tsar Bomb „only“ had 50MT but it was designed to have 100MT

The explosions I made in the toilet after my Taco Bell should have been included here..

For anyone wondering Tsar Bomba of 100 MT was never built but was theoretical. Why was it never built? It's a simple fact that at a time no bomber could outrun the blast radius so it was scraped.

Thanks for the positive and uplifting video!

As a New Yorker I resent the fact that nyc is always the testing site for animated nukings 🤧

I like to watch nuclear explosions just before bedtime. Five or so megatons is usually enough to put me to sleep, but sometimes it takes a 50 megaton dose.

What a great timeline to be living in

Недвижимость в центре потому и такая дорогая, что в эпицентре ядерного взрыва даже не чувствуешь боли, насколько быстро сгораешь.

Thank you. This is an excellent Video made with obvious great dedication!!!!

Interesting fact: luminosity of Tsar Bomba had two peaks with a minimum at 7 seconds after explosion. That little star was shining for more than a minute.

When you first see the explosion you're like: "that's not to bad." Then you see the after effects...

I wanna supplement that modern ICBMs can bear many (China 10/USA 12/Russia 16) warheads in one missile. So it is not one large mega-ton class bombs but a multi-warhead missile containing many warheads with relatively minor power. Such a missile can scatter minor nuke bombs onto a vast area in one shot and destruct it more efficiently and evenly. This means the actual destruction area will be by far larger than depicted in this video...

Crazy to think every window in a state could be shattered by a single weapon

5:35 actually,the 100 megaton tzar bomb was constructed,but then was changed to 50 megaton because the fallout and the explosion would easily kill the bomber and may be a danger to URSS

The reality is multiple bombs/multiple warheads would be detonated on one city. Detonating 5x1 megaton bombs would do more damage than a single 5 megaton bomb.

-А может бахнем? -Обязательно бахнем. Весь мир в труху. Но потом.

So basically what this video teaches you is to not be in those circles when a bomb drops.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Castle Bravo I think is particularly terrifying. Its not the biggest in terms of blast radius or even the height of the mushroom cloud, but was unique in its chemical make-up as a multi stage thermonuclear bomb ignited by lithium. Unlike Russian equivalents that sort of took a more conventionally accepted hydrogen-based approach to multi stage ignition, the Americans big one detonated in a very different way. Instead of a huge upward-travelling flash and debris cloud, Castle Bravo at first detonated with what was in essence the birth of a small but unimaginably powerful star. It was literally hotter than the core of our own sun. It reached higher than the cruising altitude of an airliner in under a split second. It was so hot and so bright that in broad daylight it shed all else around it in pitch darkness momentarily. It released such energy that the ocean beneath it formed what looked like a kind of physics-defying bowl. It created a 5 foot tsunami in all directions outward. It was so violently, aggressively powerful. It wasn't as big as Tsar, but the brutal nature and effect of it to me showcased an even more terrifying, cruel and sinister technology. Castle Bravo was intended to be no more than 5-6mt. It was closer to 16. This is because it was thought that the Lithium 6 that made up 40% of the mixture would be the sole ignition element. The Lithium 7 that was used for the other 60% was believed to be inert upon ignition, this was reasoned because the Lithium 6 would react so rapidly, however inside the magma-hellscape that is a thermonuclear reaction, even a fraction of a second is an eternity, and thus the Lithium 7 did indeed react, creating an explosion far exceeding anything expected. If you watch footage of Castle Bravo from the many angles it was captured, you may feel alarmed by how close the cameras seem to be... almost as if they were too close; they literally were. There is just something so wildly, disturbingly destructive about the castle bomb tests... these nuclear weapons are all awful inventions that should be done away with.

Tsar Bomba one is incorrect. When it blew up it shattered windows here in Finland and we were over 400 kilometers away from the blast.

Who thought this wholesome piano music would be perfect for a demonstration of nuclear explosions? 😂

Today I came out in recommendations. Probably the RU-vid administration feels the challenges ahead.

Я искренне верю и надеюсь что человечество никогда не увидит этого «в живую», но на видео это потрясающе, отличное видео. Из России с любовью!

Америка страна которая применила ядерное оружие! Уничтожила города с мирными жителями . Интересно какими были санкции в отношении Америки ?

Cheery video to be watching in the later days of December 😳

The 100MT Tsar bomba wasn’t a theoretical thing. They made that and then put a chip in it to make it smaller.

Видео несколько не верное. Если по городу будет нанесён ядерный удар, то боеголовка будет детонировать на высоте до километра и выше. Таким образом будет повышение поражение ударной волной. К тому же учитывая, что поражение радиацией будет не центрицеское, а зависеть от розы ветров.

Чтоб никогда этого не случилось!

STOP FIRING ROCKETS AT MY HOUSE !

The height of the explosion from the 50mt Tsar bomb was 66 km, and the diameter was 90 km.

This is good, that you show it on New-York) From Russia with love

Now I feel ready for my first nuclear war

Now imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of Topols and Dong Fengs falling upon America and Europe

It's a bird! No it's a plane! No it's a cloudy mushro-

We don't want any war

Как никогда актуальное видео, не так ли?)))

OMG! The music is so relaxing...Love it. 🖤😎👍

Very relaxing thank you

If we spent half the time trying to better ourselves rather than trying to destroy each other this would be such a wonder planet to live in...

The issue isn't the individual explosion - it's the cumulative effect of all the explosions. Every major military installation, every city in the USA, Europe and Russia with additional cities in China and Southern hemisphere countries. All of this will lead to a decade(s) long nuclear winter that will destroy global food production. Plus world wide radioactive fall out. A population of 7 billion will be reduced to a few hundred thousand within 10 years due to starvation. Modern civilisation and technology will also be history - there will be an almost medieval level of technology. Would you WANT to survive a full scale nuclear war? Probably not.

I pray we will never find out what is it in real life.

I fell asleep watching this, never slept better

Ну ахуеть как вовремя это попалось в рекомендациях

"Thermal radiation" refers to temperatures that make people basically evaporate. Just to add some horrifying context

Gotta make a video showing the biggest blasts hitting the 5 or 6 major cities... just to show EVERYONE.... where not all dead or the end of the world... I've tried to explain this, but this video is PERFECT

Thank you! I'll wait it))).

Key difference between this and what would actually happen is these are ground based detonations. More than likely it would be an airburst detonation, leaving less things in the way of the initial blast

Mankind was never ready for this and still isn’t. To see the burn radius extend beyond Westchester and Bergen/Essex Counties is beyond sickening.

Brings new meaning to "there goes the neighborhood."

My highschool "initial military prepairedness" teacher was very chill about nuclear war. "All you need is a 3 meter thick concrete wall and you are safe" he used to say

As much as we worry about the devastating effect and consequences,we should focus more on stopping the one who would give the green light for such launches.

it's really scary to think how many of these weapons we have as the human race

Ah so relaxing with that peaceful music ❤

Never have a dozen devastating nuclear blasts been so soothing....

We all know why we’re watching this.

I love this kind of stuff. I really can’t get enough of it.

Such a beauiful view, nuclear blast in New York😌

Very nice music to go with the blast and destruction! Peace

Я служил в РВСН, в одном полку только у нас их было 12 штук, знаю, что одна ракета Тополя на 40 мега тонн, и там разделяющееся боеголовки, и они могут наводится на разные цели, а могут и на одну, не обязательно бить по одному месту в центр, можно по периметру, чтоб больше уничтожить.

I can't believe we are force live under this threat.

Hilarious that the site of detonation is where trump tower is 😂😂😂

The WW2 atomic bombs were that small in comparison to others? Wow.

Я так понял, Царь Бомбой можно не целиться именно в центральный парк!? Актуальное видео, на сегодняшний день 🧐

The color for "light blast damage" was chosen very poorly - the gray color is almost always hard to see.

Had to stop with Little Boy and just contemplate how small this nuke was compared to later ones, but at the same time enough to leave New York in ruins… now I have to continue watching this video and see what the Big Boys can do 😰 Edit: just finished the video, goddamn… castle Bravo and Tsar are strong enough to leave manhattan island atomized 😱

note that “Light Blast Damage” is equal to cars broken, street lamps falling, and anything weaker than a building being pushed. Something like the 50MT Tsar Bomba would break windows all the way in Washington

You went through that whole presentation.. QC`d it, and gave it the go to upload and nobody said, "hey, maybe put some distance rings in there so people can see the distance of things". Heavy damage, moderate and radiation zones coverage would have made it VERY informative. Still very good. Thanks

Such relaxing music to a such deadly demonstration of destruction. 💣🤯

A Kilometer scale would have been nice with each depict.

Oppenheimer gets in the cinema. Nuke bombing RU-vid videos: 🤑🤑🤑

For some reason this comparison alarmed me the most, maybe a cumulative effect, learning from all previous comparisons/damage timelines & the consequences revisited while watching this video. I was flinching halfway through. Creating these weapons requires a "controlled madness", a "rationalized psychopathy"?

Brazers and Sisters, hello from Russia,peace need all, whe no danger, love all world. My frend we must stop 3war.

Props for the cameraman for filming each test from space

And all this is nothing compared to what nature is capable of....fascinating

This is the most relaxing music for a nuclear Holocaust scenario.

This really helped put the damage into perspective. Questioning the accuracy, but overall great video!

Very frightening I remember being under my desk thinking this won't matter it's to keep us calm before we die!

A new interesting theory regarding why potentially advanced alien civilization (if they ever existed) never made contact with us is that they might all have self destruct before achieving warp engine technology. Just the way being displayed here.

So are we getting ready to see the 1st nuclear war

Coming soon...

Good to know they push for this scenario
