The fact it was so destructive with a 15 kT warhead going off at only 500 feet off the ground shows how enormously destructive a Soviet attack on SAC headquarters at Bellevue, NE could have been.
Imagine a 25 MT nuclear warhead from an R-36M (SS-18) missile over Offutt AFB at 500 feet off the ground (essentially zero altitude detonation). The blast and heat would probably have vaporized and flattened all of Omaha, NE and Council Bluffs, IA--and there would be very, very few survivors.
@Xxpaul516xX: yes, many of the top scientists involved in the Manhattan project were jewish refugees who had fled nazi germany and occupied countries. so you are technically correct.
@Xxpaul516xX: Actually, you're thinking about those two powers' space programs, to which German scientists *did* very much contribute.
Some Germans might have helped the Soviets get "the bomb" by '49, but espionage is the more likely culprit. As it is, the U.S. nuclear weapons program had everything figured out well before Germany surrendered. The first device tested, Trinity, came about two months after V-E Day.
Hmmm, there's a noticeable frame break, or whatever you'd call it, just before the explosion. Methinks this was a big phony, just to pretend they had an atomic cannon.
@0CrazyIvan0 That was done in the film this clip comes from. There's something like 20 seconds of silence before detonation in the real clip, due to the the travel time of the shell. All they did was edit out the time period where nothing happens from the firing of the shell to right before the detonation. As contrary to popular belief, neither bullets nor shells move at the speed of light. They still take time to travel. All they did was edit out the travel time.
@halo07guy2 There's nothing in the edited clip that would suggest "bullets or shells move at the speed of light", and I'm not scientifically illiterate, thank you very much. :p I just assumed the time up until the detonation was an estimate and the detonation was added when that time passed. Can you honestly tell me you would know better without seeing the original clip? Granted, I could have supposed there was an edit. I'm just cynical that way...
@Fuhgawzzz Hahaa.. yes id like to see that. If your very close you would vanish leaving only a shadow behind. If further away your hope that the thermal heat will kill or if lucky the shockwave will by flying bits. If your unlucky your die a slow very slow and painful death which is similar to the advanced stages of AIDS. Mainly due to radioactivity doing away with your immune system.
Yeah, but they were careful not to let the shell explode *near* the cannon, did they? What do you think this is, a 10 m air rifle shooting discipline? This baby was supposed to shoot at targets twenty miles away.
Why the terrain where the bomb exploded right above it´s so flat? I ask this because the area in this region of the country is almost made by mountains or very irregular terrain.
But really, is this terrain natural or was it made to be flat, by humans?
There's a lot of terrain like that around the testing grounds (New Mexico, IIRC). I think that one was a salt flat. It's probably a pane of glass now.
Using such weapons of mass destruction was no war crime. It was legit and righteous. Same goes for dropping tons of firebombs on Dresden and Hamburg. It's lovely, isn't it?
Except technically this isn't the power of a star. The shell in the 1953 test used fission, not fusion. Thought your point is taken...I'm just that odd person out there that nit-picks everything. Feel free to ignore me, if you like.
Not sure why this got thumbed down so much. I wasn't following the rest of the conversation, and since it's been removed, I don't know what happened, but from the comment about people like me being "annoying"...well, it's an opinion. No reason to hate on someone for having an opinion.
I used to have one of these when I was a kid. We'd play with it out back with the other kids in the neighbourhood. That was, until the day of the accident.
Lol dont worry the shit we have these days is nothing compared to this, so if some1 were to accidentally hit that big red botton and u were to die you wouldnt have the chance to blink before it was all over
in between 1.15 and 1.20, I swore I could see what looked like a human skull or a face in a billowing cloud of ash before the shockwave blew it apart.
It's creepy. It'd be even creepier if I was the only one who saw it. I'm not, am I?
1:48-1:52 Is a great shot. It shows what a sight it would have been to stand there and see that explosion. Notice how it lights up the horizon with an orange colored aura.
One thing to say. Wherever you are, if you see an atomic bomb falling, mostly if you're at a safe distance from it, cover your eyes. If you don't, your eyes will be permanently burnt, and you'll be blind until you get a transplantation or something... If you're in the bomb's explosion range, well... Start praying...
Most bombs aren't big enough to see when they are falling. ICBMs dont leave smoke trails because they fly into the outer atmosphere then just fall. If you can see it your screwed.
SPIRITOFODIN u fukin dipshit wot the hell do u think his heavy water program was all about we had 2 destroy it havnt u ever herd of the heros of telimark ??? good vid by the way
He never rejected it, HE was pursuing the ida which is why Einstein went to the US which was working on it anyway. Support Hitler on your own time SPIRITOFODIN. dont piss on everyone else's realities.
Actually, the weapon was not pursued with near the typical Jewish-extremism that was seen in America.
Einstein and his collection of hypocritical Jewish extremists.
"Jews are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race."
whatbrains: That's a very good question. There's footage of trucks and forests being destroyed...How did they manage to get a camera so protected that a nuclear blast wouldn't damage it or the film inside? If anyone has any information on this, I'm curious to know.
The cameras are in hardened shelters, they are the balsr radius but not that close, for really close stuff the camera is destroyed so it sends out a TV signal until it cannot.
The cameras are in hardened lead cases mounted to sleds like the ones at 1:09, there are cables running from 4 connected support points to cement blocks that are buried at least 30 ft down.
That high yield of the warhead and the destruction it caused was when nuclear warheads started to become available to artillery crews in the 1960's the yield ended up being much lower--more like 1 to 2 kT. At that much lower yield, it could mean they could use the standard 155 mm howitzer as the cannon instead of the dedicated 280 mm cannon with its unwieldy transport system.
those were big nukes that had to be dropped by a plane like the enola gay, this is one of them wee tactical nukes that ye just wheel up on a big tractor
Seeing this and videos of a real rail gun here on Youtube... Things like Metal Gear Solid become less and less sci-fi. We have a nice warhead of 15 kilotons and put it into a railgun big enough to fire it away... Sure thing we have one part of Metal Gear "REX" All we need now is the walking chassis and a power generator strong enough to power the thing. Oh but wait... Aren't they doing this already too?
What's to say they dont already have similar things, who is to know. Rail guns are old hat anyway. it be more impressive if they had hundreds of them mounted on to a satellite in space that can shoot nuke warheads at high speeds and a counter missile option too. 3 of them in space would be ideal for a nice containment.
Not gonna happen as all nuclear testing is now done under ground. for a nuclear bomb. watch this space with iran, then possibly India and pakistan, or israel. Us and russia understand the risk with nukes and stay sensible apart from russia being immature and threatening poland. Must be paranoia i thought we were all past the cold war days.
