Sailorhat Super Blast 4 - 500 Tonnes (With Slow-Motions)

[Kapitananime]

I hate that stupid logo in the lower right corner.

[Chronolyse]

LOL at the blimps

[PintSizedSlasherJr]

500 tons of 'MURICA!

[85thereason]

Comparing this to a Atom bomb is like comparing a "mighty mite or blacc cat" firecraccer to a 16inch Display shell!! You cannot compare them by any means...

[TheCrazyFinn]

I think there's still a major difference in terms of VoD. Military high-explosives only get to around 10,000m/s, while nuclear detonation is in exess of 100,000m/s.

[RazorX53]

whats up with the all-seeing-eye on the bottom right? o.O

[RaytownSoClassof2010]

@RazorX53 Exactly what I was thinking.

[Willyj1230]

25 kill streak.....Tactical Nuke available

[SideBangEnt]

SO sore watching dis shit. When u have da privilage to visit Kahoʻolawe, youʻll feel Kanaloaʻs pain...

SHAME!

[bembeleee]

united states NAVY is the enemy!!!

[thekingoffutbol]

Lol, the Tsar Bomb has 57,000,000 tons

[vkd96]

@thekingoffutbol hEAHEHAEHA NO ! how the fuck could tsar have 57 million tons of explosives? no plane could lift that

Tsar had about 50 megatons AKA the power of. not 57 million tons x) 

[fax701]

sulla casa del grande fratello italiano!!! very very nice....

[emilen2]

So they use the SAME sound for all explosion thruout this clip?

[The4199]

where the hell did the blimps go?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[icelandthabest]

why the fuck were they even testing this? did they really think a Navy Ship could take on a nuclear explosion?

[cl0vvntiem]

@icelandthabest It's best to plan for all contingencies.

Could a fleet limp back home after taking a near miss from a nuclear tipped weapon? Could a sufficiently "hardened" fleet still have any combat capabilities in such an event? Would that completely take them out?

Important questions to answer when planning long term strategy against a nuclear armed opponent.

[bable666]

Its interesting you can see the TNT detonating (black smoke due to not enough oxygen in TNT for complete combustion) but the billowing flame stuff is not detonation maybe there was something else in the charge or maybe it's just an effect you get with such a big mass of TNT ?

[grugruu]

@dko14 'k thanks :)

[ADHR26]

thats small compared to the tsar which was 50 megatons of TNT this is only 500 tons

[grugruu]

I know shit about military science, but is it really worth exploding our own ships?...

[haizahaiza]

Less than half a kilo ton is not much.

[LikeAVideo]

slow motion sucks

[budel007player]

This is part of a series right? Does anyone know the name?

[upcountrywater]

This blast occurred on the island of Kaho'olawe. I've been on the island and there is still a huge hole this blast made. Just to the west of this blast is the nicest beach on the island.

The island area is about 45 square miles. A hole 250 feet in diameter well not effect the water table at all.

Average rainfall is about 9 inches a year, it's a dessert island.

I live 12 miles away my windows would rattle, when the Navy dropped 500 lbs bombs. That was in the 80's .

[MrCatrinus]

this is the best movie the big boss explosion i like this whan the best

[YBRR88]

Showaves mighty enough to rip through STEEL WALLS oh shit.

[DarwinJamesEnt]

Im sure this was a while ago, but stuff like this is why I dont worry about my "carbon footprint" or other nonsense. Why recycle a bottle when the military will just blow some shit up and ruin that thought. You can drive your hybrid, but what is the point when some semi truck spews exhaust all over the damn place right next to you.

[TheWhiteOwl23]

everyone makes a difference, believe, have faith and trust the LORD to save us!

[Jyamii]

like the lord does all the time for humanity?

[lolzoretwo]

like with adam and eve and that stupid apple tree, he couldnt even manage them let alon 6 billion plus people

[Pemex5555]

yes, do this and pollute the world even more...

Come on, we know whats gonna happen to the ships, its gonna be destroyed!

[shopolan]

FUCKS HUMANS.

[SSEF15]

A couple hundred more tons of TNT or whatever was used and I'll rate this 5/5 instead of 4/5. LOL XD

[TheWhiteOwl23]

write them a letter and tell them to make more boom boom next time lol

[dunklermike]

This is trash...Nobody can explain me that these tests are good for what? To see how a ship damaged? Oh dude!....Your country have to much money or someone in your military was boring...

Peace for the world!!!

[greendaysaint8302]

Ur an idiot they did this so they could find out how to build battleships that could withstand a nuclear blast fucking idiot

[dunklermike]

no they want to see how it is when your fat ass make a fart...dont call me a fucking idiot,you son of a bitch!!!

[greendaysaint8302]

lol dunklermike thinks he is hard calling me a son of a bitch through a computer screen

[dunklermike]

you make the first step....remember you (Fucking Idiot) and now let it be...

[greendaysaint8302]

LOL now he wants me to fight me like a little toddler

[imuahawaii808]

Do any of you know where this took place?!?

ON HAWAIIAN LAND!!! YOU THINK WE HAWAIIANS ENJOYED SEEING OUR LANDS BEING BOMBED!?

HOW COULD YOU PEOPLE NOT KNOW THIS!

BOMBING OUR LANDS, placing our QUEEN under house arrest, stereotyping us AND ATTEMPTING TO BANISH OUR HERITAGE?

[st6a6ng]

I hope you know you are a dumb ass...the first blast was in WHITE SANDS...USA about 4000 mi from your BOMBED home land...AND for your feeble mind, more people died during Pearl Harbar than 9-11...Not 1 preson or building was harmed in these blasts n your home land...Second the other few blasts took place off the coast of the BIKINI ISLANDS...I think the best thing for you would be to smoke some weed and quit hating the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imuahawaii808]

You think I'm dumb? You think all Hawaiians are dumb? Don't stereotype us... We Hawaiians are smart...

No people were harmed? We lost more of our culture! They blew up historical monuments! They blew up an entire aquifer!

Before things get out of hand here... Send me a message...

Do you know about the illegal overthrow of our Hawaiian Kingdom?

Did you know Hawaii isn't really a state?

If not... Learn about it...

[Pieizg00d]

did you know you're a fucking idiot.

if not... learn about it.

[imuahawaii808]

I'm not an idiot. As a matter of fact, I'm highly educated. I have not used a single swear word in my previous comment. Please take your foul language elsewhere.

If you would like to continue this discussion, send me a message.

If you ever come to Hawaii, leave that attitude at home. If not, surely your time here will be cut short.

[bagheadbaby]

i want 1 lol

[reempe1]

The tsar bomb detonate at 3lm high and the shockwave went around the world 3 times. I wonder if these ships can stand against such an explosion. Those Russians..

[reempe1]

originaly the tsar bomba was 100 kilatons... can you imagine?!!!

[gordongate]

it was actually 100 megatons, it was scaled down to 50M by using a lead outer for the test instead of U238 due to the worry of fallout spreading outside ussr territory.

[riceicles123]

its only 0.5 kilatons compare it to 520000kilatons (tsar bomba)

[QUICK1DC2]

Look at that navy ships still floating NAVY HELL YEA the titanic got dropped from and iceberg our ships can float thru this i hate to see what it takes to sink one hope im never around to see it lol

[superbert35]

sounds like the voice that lives in my head,and my bum.

[Djenbazoff]

fuck the israel nazis ...

[SymAmineC8H11N]

masha'allah....

[xyberfunk]

this is 500 tonnes? Imagine a 500 kT nuclear warhead like the kind the Chinese are testing on US Aircraft Carriers in the Dongfeng 21

[xyberfunk]

The result: look up the video for test Encelade

[Asow616]

idiot..

[mattrstudios]

They should use this shit in Afganistan on the mountians!! This would sure destroy there cave systems

[atom2009]

Yea first we ship in 500T of explosives undetected to their mountain base and detonate it?

[PaxBrittanica]

I'd like you to know there is no intricate cave system in Afghanistan otherwise the US would've corenered and destroyed them. The mountains have passes which are used for fighters to cross in and out of Afghanistan from Pakistan. A few caves double up as small weapons stores but that is the extent of it. The real war is in Pakistan.

[SymAmineC8H11N]

why, to kill innocent pashtuns??

[11jeopardy11]

its annoying how his voice keeps faiding our then back again with a different sentence

[Nuker1337]

very much agree, must have been a real moron who did that crap to this video.

[mastersingh117]

sounds like my burbs

[thegoosebrain]

I've seen bigger blasts in Detroit.

[zombie900]

500 tons? That's not even close to a nuclear blast.

[easyusername4]

haha i know they tried to simulate a nuke with 500 tons, even the smallest nukes are 100,000 tons

[reblives]

Incorect

[easyusername4]

how so? the bombs we have today make the ones we had then look like firecrackers 100 kt bomb is relatively small compared to the rest of the arsenal

[reblives]

"even the smallest nukes are 100,000 tons" I was refering to that, but your new post sounds much better.

[originalwackowally]

enlighten us

[reblives]

/me enlightens youtube

There you go

[originalwackowally]

you are aware that 100kt = 100,000 tons?

[reblives]

Yes I do understand that, I was saying he was incorrect when he said "even the smallest nukes are 100,000 tons" are you paying attention?

[originalwackowally]

yea but then you agreed with him when he said 100kt. i just thought that was kinda funny.

that's the biggest,ugliest watermark I've ever seen.

If i knew what yall were talking about, id b impressed...

[kenjiekenshin06]

correction it was only two burgers, one fries, and a large coke

[gibsonfanchuck]

they stayed afloat? guess we make better boats than we do bombs, lol.

[nicktreg]

big

[ThemostRegectedName]

.5 kilotons even the weakest nuclear wepons of the time had a blast of 15 kilotons

[BlacktailFA]

Bear in mind that most of that energy is expended as radiation --- mostly heat.

In terms of their actual explosive power, nuclear weapons are extremely inefficient. That's not to say they aren't powerful or cost-effective, but rather that their firepower figures can be misleading.

[anon32016]

Indeed. The energy-characteristics of nukes is quite unique.

An the smallest nukes in history was "Little Feller" 1 and 2. About 0.28 kilotonnes. Dunno how they managed that though.

One heck of a neutron-source and U-238 neutron reflectors aimed at a Plutonium implosion-core, probably. A miracle they got critical mass.

[anon32016]

Correction: It was only 0.022 /0.016 kilotonnes. 22 /16 tonnes that is. Even more amazing.

[BlacktailFA]

"0.022 /0.016 kilotonnes"?

Sounds like more of a "fizzle" than a critical mass to me!

[anon32016]

Yeah, i know! Pretty pathetic and a waste of enriched material if you ask me, but hey it was an experiment.

[iamthealien]

only a very small amount of energy is converted to radiation..as for the heat it is released in any kind of explosive material when it is detonated and the actual "explosion" is gas expanding under the presure created by the thermal enerjy(heat)..so nuclear weapons have nearly equal firepower to conventional ones

[Ravenpulse]

1:01 the planes

[BlacktailFA]

Considering that they were unmanned, that was hillarious.

XD

[12zxz21]

my new m-6782034726 firecracker did that

[bcb0xer]

lol this was on the world's most amazing videos on spike tv :)

[santaclaus1986]

the air vacuum. is that what 'squeezes' the flames up and thats why it looks like a mushroom cloud

[adjuster57]

That's a hell of a cherry bomb.

[Borges1091]

So crazy how everything is pushed foward then sucked right back in.

[segregator236]

That's because of the expansion of the air and shockwave.

[Borges1091]

Interesting

[segregator236]

After the detonation, a vacuum is created after the air is pushed outwards, and everything is sucked back in.

[liam1234123121]

so if there were someway of surviving the bomb the air from the vacuum may crush you anyway?

[segregator236]

What exactly do you mean? Have you ever seen an atomic explosion?

[liam1234123121]

if i put it this way, if you anchored something miles into the ground the bomb went off, do you think the vacuum would crush the remains of the things that didn't get blown away or melted?

[segregator236]

Yup, the stuff would get blown away first, then tumbled back. A rough ride, I say.

[r8qt7]

It looses power very fast (because of the half-cubic extension flow). But you should be half-a-mile away.

[XBxUxTxCxHxExRX]

@liam1234123121 I would be Layin on the ground pissing my pants if that hit my ship

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

@liam1234123121 The destruction from a nuke comes mainly from the soundwave... people close to the explosion just burn up due to the intense heat butthe size of the explosion is tiny compared to the damage of the nuke itself hence the test to see just how destructive a nuke is... they placed the ships nice and close to the "small" explosion because thats the effect of a nuke from a much larger distance anyway... obviously stronger to the center.

[Lecturne]

The vid says "to simulate the _blast_ of an atomic bomb". The idea wasnt to test the radiation or heat.

[jolleyjames13]

Thats a crap comparisome to a nuke even if the ships survived the blast in the center of a nuclular blast the heat it 7 times as much as the sun apserlutly nothing would survive. But after all that no one would survive because the radiation would kill the people in a matter of hours. shows how much amercans care about there soldiers. ooo protect the oil and our nukes fucking twats

[n00bMonkel]

This isnt even comparable to nuclear bombs, The smallest nuclear bombs are 12kt, which is 12,000 tonnes of explosives ; And the largest detonated was ~50MT Which is 50,000,000 Tonnes of TNT

[wormholesurf]

since when ? the tsar bomba was 3 megatons, and that is the largest (unclassified) explosion in the world

[43932]

Tsara bomb was 50 MT ......

[Nuker1337]

Tsar bomba was 50-60 megatons (with tons I mean METRIC tons not the fking pathetic units you americans use!) you ignorant fool! And you think the world would not have noticed if something bigger would go off? Right... The tsar bomba made a shockwave that broke windows 1000 kilometres away from detonation and much more.

[socomsgh]

Holy sh*t! 1,000,000 pounds. How much did that cost?

[btd94]

the most dangerous part of a blast like that is when all the air gets sucked back in, then blasted back out again.

[attilathenoob]

US has 2MT nukes=4000x stronger able to mount 6 of them on a SINGLE fighter plane lol

[csengeri]

What are those fastly changing clouds at 0:28? Is that because of the pressure raises then lowers rapidly and the water condensates then evaporates again?

[segregator236]

Yeah. It was probably water vapor or super compressed air.

[jaymepaille]

Daaaaannngg!! That must have used RDX for that. I make RDX. RDX has a explosion rate of 8600 m/s while TNT does 7300m/s! And RDX costs much much less than TNT and takes a lot less time to make than TNT. And it is much more dangerous that TNT.

[segregator236]

They used nitroglycerin, not RDX. RDX is too dangerous.

[Pyrodregget]

i take it that was irony...

[segregator236]

right.

[WindEnergy]

Welfare for war profiteers-that's all it is. Out of your pocket, into theirs.

WE

[TWEEDSUCKS]

HAHAH. i reamber watching a video, were they said to duck under your desk and cover ur head. if there was a threat of a nuclear bomb.!! i dont think that would do much.!!

[segregator236]

Especially if your desk would be vaporized before you could duck under it.

[josephdupont]

SNOWBALL when a 500 ton hemispherical charge was detonated successfully. Operation SAILOR HAT in 1965. Block built charges were now stacked in this geometry. A number of such 500 ton charges were detonated on military test operations, namely PRAIRE FLAT (1968), DIAL PACK (1970), and MIXED COMPANY (1972).

[josephdupont]

wow!

[segregator236]

wowow!

[bluewhale18]

maybe that was actually a nuclear explosion.

i mean, how the hell did they get 500T of explosive material together on the water?

[blowjobbftw]

Wasent this the 1 million tonnes of TNT test?

[segregator236]

Nope.

[Flare78X]

Yes it was i seen it somewhere else and the dude specifically said it was a million tons of TNT, it was just cut out of this vid

[segregator236]

The announcer and the historic facts all point to 500 tonnes. There was no 1-million-tonne test. That woulda been too hard.

[Flare78X]

Oh oops i ment 1 million pounds

[segregator236]

Yeah probably. That's a BIG difference between 1 million pounds and 1 million tonnes.

[riodahoslappa]

yeah but it woulda been accurate enuff for a REAL!!!!!! nuclear bomb

[Barbarian216]

Google "sailor hat test" for exact information on this blast. 500 tons of TNT was stacked in a hemi-sphere configuration, 17 ft high by 30+ ft wide and detonated, no ANFO was used. Explosives itself cost over $1M and proved unsatisfactory for nuclear simulation because of inconsistency expansion rates between cases of explosive. It produces a multitude of shock effect as compared to a single nuclear event. That is why ANFO is now prefered and is cheaper too.

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

Actually high explosives have a much higher brissance than your typical nuclear bomb. A 500 ton nuclear blast at the same distance would cause different forms of damage and contamination, but would not be likely to cause as severe a blast. The radiation flux would have been severe at such a close range.

[arasaka2020tm]

fantastic video! never seen anything as good as this on youtube, thanks segregator236 for giving us this! spektakulaer

[segregator236]

Thanks for the comment!

[viciousKev]

enjoy this video, its millions of dollars of tax money at work.  do you feel satisfied with the return?

[wolfhunter0321]

yeah...im rather happy.

[6mmmmm6]

i want to see the craters too...

[segregator236]

Craters? I guess those cameramen were too scared to go in the craters.

[Malunat13]

those blimps got pwned in the face

[bombboy1000]

they used AN/FO ANFO makes a fire ball and black smoke

[segregator236]

Yup. They did.

[swampghost]

Whats with the Illuminati symbol on the right?

[Pyrotech56]

holy cow!!! Love the slow-mo's.

[segregator236]

I know. Just imagine that amount of explosives detonating in the enemy lands!

[flyboy172r]

Wasn't Operation Crossroads - shots Able and Baker - enough for them!!!!!!

[segregator236]

lol
