See the black shape on the right side of the water column at 0.52?

That's the USS Arkansas, a battleship that weighed about 27,000 tons....just being tossed into the air.

Now that's terrifying.

[YawnGod]

I don't see it.

[emomuffinman1]

they say going on HUGE is another way to live a holocaust UNLESS if it that close

[cathalferris]

@Whatupwidat It's not the actual ship itself that you see, it's a 'shadow' in the water column caused by the ship diverting some of the air blast around itself. The ship was still inside the column at sea level, and sank when the column dropped back down. The wreckage doesn't support the ship having gone vertical. The weight of the water column was estimated to be about 2 million tonnes which is no mean feat..

[Whatupwidat]

@cathalferris Actually, the jury is still out on it given the inclarity of the film, and as no battleship has ever been "upended" there's no way to know for sure.

Whatever happened, it wasn't good though :D

If this was placed in a city, i would be most intrested in the after effects, just imagine a barren wasteland of the remains, just so amazing.

[tarjor]

wow, that's a huge one!

[kisvarazslo]

this was only a 21 kilotonn bomb. "only" is ouf course relative....

but compared to the Castle Bravo experimental bomb, which was 15 megatonns, this is nothing. pretty cool footage though

[JohntheGuerrilla]

Yeah and not only that this is at a sophistication level much beyond the nuclear capabilities of most terrorists for being a "atomic" weapon.

But don't try and envision it please! It would be so much better if it doesn't happen like that!

[weee0willie]

Was NOT a nuclear test, It was an Atomic test Huge difference!

[RJW1977]

weeeOwillie:

Atomic and nuclear are the same thing. Maybe you're thinking about the difference between a fission bomb and a thermonuclear bomb. Either way, they are both atomic weapons.

We took care of Bikini for sure.
