If you or a member of your family is a World War II veteran who was exposed to radiation from Hiroshima or Nagasaki between 1945 and 1962... you may be entitled to compensation.
The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act of 1990 offers a one-time payment of $75,000 or a monthly benefit of $2,673 for veterans who have any of the 21 cancers linked to radiation exposure. The process for collecting your benefit is simple... To get started, call the U.S. Department of Justice at 800-729-7327 for more information
Incredible. The number of people who don't know anything about radiation or the tests in particular to make judgements about soldiers that grew up during WWII and their motivations is appalling. If some of you actually put the game controllers down a minute and learn something real-world, I'd be astonished and gratified. Ready for some facts? See dtra(.)mil/SpecialFocus/NTPR/NTPRFactSheet.aspx (remove the parentheses from the URL to use). Leave the CTs at the door.
That is radioactive those soldier probably died shortly cause of cells dying out leading to cancer .by the way do u see those White lines on the screen that is signs of radiation
@MrMicroNivek: No. The white lines on the screen are scratches in the original. Consider: the worst test for fallout was Smokey, with 3000 soldiers assigned. In 1980, that cohort should have had 6 leukemias; there were actually 10, so the affects of the test are known. Radiation doesn't cause cancer cells to "dry out"; they become cancerous. The peak exposure of any soldier in any of the Desert Rock ops was 40 REM; a lethal dose is about 600.
@maximumgravity Those are smoke trails from rockets that were fired before nuclear detonation. I believe it was used to help measure blast pressure on 1, 20, and 30 kiloton blasts. There's a 47 minute declassified film on Operation Tumbler-Snapper on Youtube. Very interesting and there are some comments from some soldiers who were there! Youtube won't let me link it, but search "Operation Tumbler Snapper (1952)" and it'll come up. :)
were carried out dutifully. Every soldier was tested for radiation levels before leaving the area. This was like 30th goddamn test they'd done in nevada and as far as I know, none of the soldiers or anyone else were harmed in any of them. The low yield and higher efficientcy (compared to hiroshima) wouldn't produce much fallout, especially nothing lethal. The Japanese got screwed cause they lived in the area for an extended time afterwards. Also, yes, the soldiers were going to walk through it
This was Operation Teapot. I'm not sure which one in the series this is specifically but I'm guessing it's one of the smaller yields like Hornet or Tesla. Reading through the comments, I just have to say "wow". Some of the ones that stuck with me: remember that "fallout" FALLS. The wind blast they got hit with heated air. They were behind cover for the initial fireball, but with the smaller yield and their distance from it, it's doubtful they'd get anything worse than a burn. All tests were
Wow I'm glad i never joined the military. I agree with the rest of the people that say this was planed to directly put soldiers lives in danger. It looks like not much has changed from then and now. Our soldiers get killed in Afghanistan for no reason. What i wonder is why this test took place. Did they want to see if the soldiers could make it across the bomb site alive? That kind of makes sense since they had guns.
@kimbonut: Not all of "the rest of the people" (us) is a conspiracy theorist. The soldiers were placed there in order to determine the psychological preparation required to face a nuclear battlefield and to see the effect on maneuvers. They didn't travel across the bomb site; they held a maneuver exercise, which probably didn't require them getting within 2 miles of the center. Max dose was 40 REM; 600 is a fatal dose; under 100 has only some low long range probabilities of cancer.
@Sprig3601 They were ordered to walk towards the bomb !! They wanted to use the soldiers as subjects to test the effects of radioactive fallout. I've seen this and a lot of these videos on t.v documentries. I'm not sure if the soldiers knew they were being used as guinipigs.
Stupid fucking bastards. So that's why I grew up drinking powdered milk? These poor soldiers. Promised everything and given nothing but death and misery. This is part of the truth that they don't want you to discuss. If we could send our own men to death so easily, what makes you think 3000 people on 911 would make them even blink? Hundreds of thousands died here for nothing. The scientist knew what would happen already.
@Maiden4eva1995 Because the found radioactive iodine in the liquid milk. It would go to stand that they also found iodine in the food supply but never bothered to inform people.
@Daddyo930 the military wanted to try a new strategy in which they would nuke a site allowing soldiers an open route to get through with no opposition they were aware of radiation being present but at this time they didnt know of the effects it would have on a human
@xBiiiGCat Wrong. They had a few accidents during the Manhattan project. A few people died horribly from radiation poisioning. They knew exactly what would happen. They also had Hiroshima and Nagasaki as perfect examples of what happens. Try some other excuse for those fucking bastards. They are destined for an eternity of darkness.
oh, does anyone know the mega-tonnage of this A-bomb? looks kinda small to me, maybe it was meant more as a tactical weapon than say for use against cities.
@Vcollins1734 right man, what's that anyway? no but in all seriousness it's really tragic how ignorant we were of radiation's connection to cancer at that point. naval personnel at the bikini atoll also really got screwed.
im doing a project in class on how we should ban "testing" nukes. its so stupid. practice them on our enemies in war, not in our own territory or in the pacific. -_-
@2herosofwar ehem, a few years back there was a U.N. treaty to ban testing, although the U.S. didn't sign it. No tests have been done since the end of the nuclear era but many nations still keep their weapons without intention to detonate.
@2herosofwar: And you can't think of a single reason why the testing may have been appropriate at that time? Fail. Oh, yes, your project is only 19 years out of date; that's how long testing has been banned.
for some reason, it sickens me that you would relate this real and tragic story to a video game. its like saying "for some reason 9/11 reminds me of flight simulator." stfu jackass, these were real people who served their and YOUR country.. and all you say is..this vid reminds me of my video game. fuck you DACLEMENT27.
It's John Wayne Gacey in uniform at 2:43 (Just kidding).
Earlier in this footage, I have seen a roadsign which read: "If you wouldn't tell STALIN, don't tell ANYONE", and "If you get your information HERE, then leave it HERE."!! I'll make an assumption that this was done during Stalin's time and that it is highly likely to have been Operation Tumbler-Snapper. Our government had troops in trenches pretty close to ground zero during Operation Teapot and Plumbob as I recall.
2ed MARINE Div. Marched through,The only ones that got sick. Didn't follow protocall,The sand at ground zero was melted into glass. You kept clean and did not bring back souvenirs. Pocketed "glass" had its hazards....
@thumper1177 A footstep from invasion... thats what they told you? its easy to take millions of dollars from nation and spend it on tests like this when the people are frightened... one more thing: just to know, even if usa used up all its nuclear weps on russia, or any other country and russia doesnt retaliate by some miricle, you would die in few months or years... so dont speak about some nuclear war from movies.
@metalsonic120 u are a complete moron they cant get Decontaminated its radiation it goes in there air ways there screwed how do u think people still get cancer from these tragic events how about put u in a Nuke then lets see if we can Decontaminate u
@thumper1177 They told the soldiers the only way they would get radiation was through an open wound. And that their hair would grow back. Oh and how about the wind change that happened during this test that sent the fallout towards the town of St. George which then had a huge amount of cancers and sickness.
@thumper1177 They where mannequins. I don't want to argue over this fact because what you said is happening for tests such as this one but this one in particular used only mannequins.
and pigs--we strapped live pigs in boxes sos they couldn't run away and exposed them to several zones of blast. Isn't this how John Wayne got cancer? Desert Radiation from something? Hell, the French did it to the Bikini Islands--we at least left paradise alone.
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD your actually right, i think all but around 3 or 4 are still alive, most died from cancer. I watched an interview of one of the last 4 guys and he has lung cancer i think
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD You are right about that. A friend of mine, his grandpa died from fucking around with the radiation. You know the soldiers they put in there were test dummies? They wanted to see what happened to them later, ever hear of Agent Orange?
@DaClement27 You know, I'm not gay, but I bet anything that you have never had a girlfriend in your life. In fact, you probably have a real small penis and suffer from serious performance issues (that is, if you are into women in the first place).
@rayjr62 and your point is? what if you have a smaller penis? who knows? how do you know if i have a small penis? how do you know if i had a girlfriend? dun go around trolling boy/girl or whatever you are
At the time of this test, scientists had not yet learned the full potential of fallout and radiation. Mutations of living cells and DNA was still something straight out of the sci-fi comic books of the period. They were training these troops to go into combat in the event tactical nuclear weapons were used on the battlefield. Basically, the bomb was supposed to blow a hole in the enemy's lines and the troops would charge in through the gap.
Human beings are repelled by war, especially those in the military all the way up the chain of command. The decision to use A-Bombs on Japan was made in 1944 by our POLITICAL leaders- New Deal Democrats -who got us into WWII in the first place. These same people are celebrated by Progressives today.
Ike (a Republican) and others questioned the need for A-Bombs and warned of the dangerous US military-industrial complex.
Total trust in Government = Death. Vote against Progressive Democrats.
@kalzx I am sorry to disappoint you but tasr in fact is the biggest bomb which have been explode in earth- i have heard that china have exploded much bigger in space.
P.s. both RU and US have founded that a nuke bomb does not have to be big.
so most of the bombs today are smaller then the one which were pulled on japan. its depends on what substance you use. such as plutonium and so on have different explosion radios and this effects on how much you use.
@kalzx You are talking such bull man. You said 570 000 000 (that is 570 MILLION megatons) - if US had tested two bombs that size in New Mexico, well New Mexico wouldnt exist anymore - in fact neither would planet Earth - idiot!
@kalzx No they didnt and it is well documented that the Tsar bomb at 50 megatons is the largest nuclear bomb tested to date so just do your research along with the mathematics............
@kalzx You are again missed the point: you can use hangar of a radioactive substance and you will get an explode not bigger then 100m but on the other hand you can use small container and you will explode half of earth.
Though I have never heard about the explode in Mexico - Maybe you got confused by the explosion in low atmosphere? which is not considered as ground. Any way now both, US RU, use small nuke bombs which they deploy from satellites-
@kalzx 570,000,000 megtons is over half a million megtons, there hasn't been that many all together since 1945 the largest ever exploded was a 50 megton in 61' . A megton is 1 million tons of TNT. The Russian bomb was 50 million tons (50,000,000). Your suggesting that there was one that was 570,000,000,000,000 tons of TNT. Even the ones droped on Japan was only in the 20 kiloton range (20,000 tons of TNT) Hell with New Mexico, a blast that size would have taken out North American and more.
@kalzx Well someone has to because you certainly on't know what the heck it is LOL. I can see why so many of my foreign friends make fun of our school system with the intelligence I see here. Back in my day we actually knew our math you know 1+1=2, that sort of thing. I suppose 40 years in this sort of training probably doesn't count for anything next to vast knowledge such as this LOL. Far from end of story kid, do you do your own checkbook and taxes LOL.
@kalzx Well thats good bacause your math is really wanting for reality kid. I'd get someone to check your check book as well because your math is wanting.....a lot.
@kalzx Yes end of story LOL. You do realize that the metor that wiped out 90% of life on Earth 65 million years ago was 100,000,000 megtons and your saying that we exploded one "6 TIMES" the size of THAT LOL. How the heck did the planet surivive that LOL. I think that would have been something most of us would have noticed LOL. It would have indeed been the end of the story LOL
@kalzx So its classified and you kn ow all about it, cool, so where did you get it? So your saying that they tested a bomb, check that, 27 bombs in New Mexico, that would leave a 470 miles wide 6 mile deep crater "Each" and no one noticed it. LOL the tin foil hats are out tonight.. I mean after all you would think someone would notice most of the North American Land mass disappear don't you think. Lordy, you are really out there kid.LOL
@kalzx Work for the CIA your telling state secrets on the web, youtube no less. Son when you get backed in a corner you really grab for straws don't you. Well I'm been working for a number of companies that build these things and probably one of the few folk on here that have actually witnessed and trained for the after math back in the 60's. Your knowledge is minor if best and stupid at most. If your CIA then you must remember your security oath, since you lied on that can't believe.you now.
@kalzx Actually you said you "Work" not "Worked" for the CIA. Doesn't matter, you have shown yourself as either liar or a traitor. My Marine oath is still strong in me after40 odd years, you sir have shown you are not to be trusted "at all". So there is no reason for me or anyone else to trust about your comments. A liar and /or a Traitor, neither speaks well for you
@candr you are 100% right i am a traitor i took a oath and broke it i am done talking about these top secret bombs and the more i think about it the worst i feel
Of course, but remember this was a time when we thought the next war was going to be fought here and over there with nuclear weapons. Not to mention you had "operation Plowshare" that thought the devices could be used to move mountain around cities, create deep harbors and build around them and even a new Panama Canal with a string of these things going off in Central America. And these were the scientist. 50's were not the brightest time we knew how to make them just not how to use.
@JRMC48 sorry bud , but no........it,s only because ,the way your goverment treat,s its citizens ie like shit .....that one day you will turn round and topple the devil worshiper kunts.......this is why you gota keep your guns peace
@JRMC48 um well lets see im not sure wat your complaining about... A. they were trained and are far enough from enicial blast to be unharmed. B. if your talking about the blown up tanks and wat looks like burnt bodys are just sand bags dumb ass. so wat is the big deal.
@JRMC48 after 1953 tested termonuclear bombs. It's bombs is not radioactive. You can see, what observers with geiger counters located in the affected area
Today we benefit from the hard lessons learned by the people in these old films. At 4:43 you see the mushroom cloud being pulled along with the wind. At the time they didn't realize exactly how far the fallout would go. About five or six years ago 60 Minutes did a story about how it was being discovered that fallout from those tests covered the central states all the way to the east coast because of the jet stream. So it wasn't just the enlisted people that were exposed.
@06welchc1 They are walking towards the explosion because this is 1955 and no one knew any better. All those soldiers are long since dead having developed various cancers. A friend of ours, his father was one of the first marine officers into Hiroshima within a month of the explosion. He died of cancer several years ago.
LOL some of the dummies did not even burn. There was a rubber tire from a truck sitting there after the blast. Some dust on the .50 cal MG and some vehicles rolled over. The mushroom cloud viewed form the soldiers' view was about 100 ft high. What a hoax.
If you or a member of your family is a World War II veteran who was exposed to radiation from Hiroshima or Nagasaki between 1945 and 1962... you may be entitled to compensation.

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD your actually right, i think all but around 3 or 4 are still alive, most died from cancer. I watched an interview of one of the last 4 guys and he has lung cancer i think

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD You are right about that. A friend of mine, his grandpa died from fucking around with the radiation. You know the soldiers they put in there were test dummies? They wanted to see what happened to them later, ever hear of Agent Orange?

At the time of this test, scientists had not yet learned the full potential of fallout and radiation. Mutations of living cells and DNA was still something straight out of the sci-fi comic books of the period. They were training these troops to go into combat in the event tactical nuclear weapons were used on the battlefield. Basically, the bomb was supposed to blow a hole in the enemy's lines and the troops would charge in through the gap.

Human beings are repelled by war, especially those in the military all the way up the chain of command. The decision to use A-Bombs on Japan was made in 1944 by our POLITICAL leaders- New Deal Democrats -who got us into WWII in the first place. These same people are celebrated by Progressives today.
Ike (a Republican) and others questioned the need for A-Bombs and warned of the dangerous US military-industrial complex.
Total trust in Government = Death. Vote against Progressive Democrats.

@kalzx I am sorry to disappoint you but tasr in fact is the biggest bomb which have been explode in earth- i have heard that china have exploded much bigger in space.
P.s. both RU and US have founded that a nuke bomb does not have to be big.
so most of the bombs today are smaller then the one which were pulled on japan. its depends on what substance you use. such as plutonium and so on have different explosion radios and this effects on how much you use.

@kalzx You are talking such bull man. You said 570 000 000 (that is 570 MILLION megatons) - if US had tested two bombs that size in New Mexico, well New Mexico wouldnt exist anymore - in fact neither would planet Earth - idiot!

@kalzx No they didnt and it is well documented that the Tsar bomb at 50 megatons is the largest nuclear bomb tested to date so just do your research along with the mathematics............

@kalzx You are again missed the point: you can use hangar of a radioactive substance and you will get an explode not bigger then 100m but on the other hand you can use small container and you will explode half of earth.
Though I have never heard about the explode in Mexico - Maybe you got confused by the explosion in low atmosphere? which is not considered as ground. Any way now both, US RU, use small nuke bombs which they deploy from satellites-

@kalzx 570,000,000 megtons is over half a million megtons, there hasn't been that many all together since 1945 the largest ever exploded was a 50 megton in 61' . A megton is 1 million tons of TNT. The Russian bomb was 50 million tons (50,000,000). Your suggesting that there was one that was 570,000,000,000,000 tons of TNT. Even the ones droped on Japan was only in the 20 kiloton range (20,000 tons of TNT) Hell with New Mexico, a blast that size would have taken out North American and more.

Of course, but remember this was a time when we thought the next war was going to be fought here and over there with nuclear weapons. Not to mention you had "operation Plowshare" that thought the devices could be used to move mountain around cities, create deep harbors and build around them and even a new Panama Canal with a string of these things going off in Central America. And these were the scientist. 50's were not the brightest time we knew how to make them just not how to use.

Today we benefit from the hard lessons learned by the people in these old films. At 4:43 you see the mushroom cloud being pulled along with the wind. At the time they didn't realize exactly how far the fallout would go. About five or six years ago 60 Minutes did a story about how it was being discovered that fallout from those tests covered the central states all the way to the east coast because of the jet stream. So it wasn't just the enlisted people that were exposed.
