Castle Bravo

[NielsShoe]

The Russian bomb was tested at 57MT but it was a 100MT design but it was too big and heavy to transport very far so it would not of been used in anger it was just to shake a fist at NATO. Mirvs om ICBM are still bad even though they are smaller 3 - 10 would be fired at one city spread out from each missile.

[MrMoleskins]

it's a firework get over it

[pancakehiatt]

Um that's Castle Romeo. But Bravo is cut in there and I think Castle Union is in there too

[TarquinOctal]

Actually, most modern warheads are MIRVed at about 0.5-0.7 megatonnne yield? No much fun, but not the same as Castle Bravo or Tsar Bomba maybe?

[CheckMyMovies]

war sucks

[abermen]

The thing to remember is that the Mushroom "Cloud" isn't a cloud; its a pillar of fire.

[rockolutheran]

lol the beginnig looks like a giant boobie :D

[marinlille]

what diameter of total destruction has this bomb????reply pls!!!..PS: tsar bomb has a 35 km total destruction

[poodleslayer]

I read somewhere that if Tsar Bomba had been detonated at its maximum power (100 meg, as I recall), it could've caused third-degree burns over an area the size of West Germany.

[texpeare]

It was almost twice as powerful as predicted. There was wide spread radiation contamination in the water and some of the fallout sickened and killed a few Japanese fishermen. The "dirty" nature of this test led to the first test ban treaties between the USA/USSR.  Ironically, Bravo Crater is now a lush coral reef.

[ZZ009966]

Nice :o

1 Teheran

2 Pyongyang

[fieldtouring]

1. Your house

2. Up your arse

[sheedikllers]

15 megatons make this explosion..... Wow.

[yazan600]

The biggest 2 nuclear weapons r tsar bomba and my dick

[dergin38467]

yeah right, the fact that you even put that tells me you most likely got a small dick and ur probobly not even in high school yet

[yazan600]

come to me i will show u how my dick is going to fuck u........bitch punk ass motherfucker

[dergin38467]

you cant fuck me with something you dont have, douchebag

[dergin38467]

see this is the beauty of youtube, little 7th graders can act all tough shit and say thing to people that are bigger than them that would result in an ass whoopin in real life now stop being an internet toughguy and go play with ur little wee wee.

[yazan600]

ok now maybe u r the one who is acting a tough internet guy and in the 7th grade , if u want to bother someone go and bother someone else because i dont have the time to play with u , so go to hell .BITCH.

[dergin38467]

i dont have to be an internet toughguy cuz i have nothing to be ashamed of in real life, and btw heres a tip for wen ur agueing with someone, cussing them out just makes you look like and idiot, and like how u say u dont have time to play with but i bet you will most likley respond to this comment, hell, if ur so busy y r u responding to me anyway or why r u even on youtube if ur SOOO busy in the 7th grade

[lindgaard119]

that was the romeo test.

[CrazyIemon]

That's beautiful.

[HydroXSpear]

I prefer saying that is pure destruction

[huntpivot2]

I say it's beautiful destruction.

[spycaper51]

.......Daaaaaaaaaaamn!

[mpwelk]

Castle Bravo (aka "Shrimp") was never in the arsenal of the United States. It was an experiment, not a weapon.

[goddesslush]

Screams as she goes on fire as her eye balls began to melt out of her head long before her associates are blinded by the flash..

[69salford69]

Humans are cancer of the Earth

[clorox609]

joe rogan represent

[haddock1941]

Piss off

[69salford69]

Earth cannot support the human race

If you think it can you're a dickhead

[haddock1941]

Earth CAN support the human race, and it has for hundreds of thousands of years.

Douche bags, on the other hand, not so much.

If you think people are so damned awful, you die first.

[69salford69]

Allow me to rephrase...

Earth cannot support the human race at the current pupulation trend.

10billion people will be WAY too many

[Sagebrusher07]

@69salford69

I think we could support many more and affect the enviroment even less than we do now, with the right technology and social conditions.

[thegrandcyclops]

i can't see any skullface in the cloud at 1:19, but i did see a rabbit an alien and chuck norris dukeing it out

[Massivecarcrash]

Napalm can go and fuck itself.

[MKD247]

I strongly agree

[jackall1919]

to bad it wasnt the biggest ever created

[TRICYCLENE]

I am fairly certain that they are ALL dead.

[lilgubi40]

they didnt all die, they were poisoned by the radiation

[justiakas]

surely they are dead. this explosion happened 54 years ago.

[sbu6]

This explosion killed crew of a Japanese fishing boat.

[boltedmex281]

I wish there was sound

[NYreign]

thats insane

[locutus1546]

dang at like 1:19 the mentioned face looks more like a skull.... wonder if it coincidence....

[Thudstaffer]

Ka-boom!!! Aaaaahhh!!! What's the name of the song? Explosivo!

[mikeyidh]

The power of hydrogen!

[Skyes9]

@ :29 seconds....looks like a vacation in hell with the trees like that and the colors

[BManNOTGman77]

nuke has a face @ 1:17 lol sweet!

[WashDCDemocrat]

I know! XD

[WashDCDemocrat]

I know! XD

[jwhyte67]

@ 1:18 that looks like Castle Romeo.

[ChyTheTasmanianTiger]

Cool thats where Worms Armageddon got the title screen from (1:24)

[TotoTigre]

HERMOSO !!!

[tomg106]

1:29 looks as if space has opened a black hole.. scary shit man. Just think the largest H bomb was 1952 or 1954 i cnt remember, more than 50 years ago, technology etc has advanced alot since then so god knows how powerful they are now..

[sib3lius]

They're actually "much less powerful" now -- that is, if a bomb that can still wipe out most of a city sounds "much less powerful" to you. Bombs of this yield were impractical and ultimately useless because it would've killed too many people to be used in an actual conflict, and also because (I'm pretty sure) they never figured out a way to deliver it without also killing the pilots flying the plane.

[smileycoyote]

ICBMs do the trick.

[MickHartmannDK]

@smileycoyote thats actually not quite right. most modern icbms in action has a power on no more than 10 mt. but it is actually possible to deliver them by planes without killing the pilot. just watch the Tsar bomba videos. that explosion is 4 times bigger than castle bravo and deployed by plane. and they would have been used in an actual conflict. this amount of desctruction has a huge psycological value and with the correct deployment the result is . . . magnificent

[Malamockq]

Uhh no. Bombs this big weren't practical because the physical size of the bomb was too big. They couldn't be delivered by ICBMs because of that. Also, even though they are powerful, most of their energy goes up into space, wasting it. Saturating a large area with many smaller nukes does more ground damage.

[NightShadeAEB]

@sib3lius lol the Russians blew one up more than three times as powerful as this one (this one was 15.4 mt, the Russian one was 50 mt) with an ordinary 1963 bomber. Of course the bomb was so huge the bombing bay's doors had to be removed - you could still see the bomb sticking out of the bottom of the plane as it took off.

But hey, today's the age of nanotechnology. I'm sure they could fit hundreds of megatons into a single ICBM nowadays; it's just such a waste when you have precision.

[Rembrantai]

This fireball had reached 3 miles wide after 1 second. This is physics we should never have messed with and god forbid this power ever getting in the wrong hands.

[HeatherAnnePeel]

Apocalypse then.

[Vollkrass]

ein furz im Vergleich zur ZAR-Bombe... ;)

[rlsroyce]

In the film 'Trinity and Beyond' you can actually see a seagull being vaporized. If you look at the top right hand corner of the palm trees it starts to fly away after the detonation then it immediately starts smoking and does a nose dive in the ocean.

[atlsICBMs]

nukes are a vital part of national security in modest quantity. So stop being a wuss.

[smileycoyote]

That's it; a real man uses nukes. Get your hand out of your pants man!

[Malamockq]

Watch china nuke you with that attitude.

[smileycoyote]

Those damn Chinese are coming to get you man! I bet there's one right outside your window right now!

[Malamockq]

You're an idiot.

[smileycoyote]

Oh, that changes everything. You have completely convinced me with your barrage of facts. How just overwhelming is your argument.

[Tartanarmytrooper]

bbbbbboooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooommmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

cool

[northdutchman]

no, ferry hot.

[mahhootenanny]

a nuke will kill you just as dead as a bullet.

[sonicdevo]

sheer beauty

[SobeCrunkMonster]

foofighter just shush and enjoy the annihilation

[foofighter2007]

this is a truly terrifying and astonishingly brutal invention, truly is incomprehensible the power unleashed by these units of ultimate destruction, made me depressed and scared that this might occur in our countries one day
