If this had went off near me, I would've thought, "Wow, what a beautiful way to die." 3 seconds later, I would retract my statement, right before being vaporised.
@mike4ty4....they seem to be removing your posts or marking them as spam?....who is in charge of monitoring the thread?..Can other viewers report comments as "spam" if they don't like them?.....strange....or does Youtube retain content control?
@mike4ty4 - cont - I believe we need a Ghandi or Martin Luther King to emerge on the world stage, or divine intervention, or alien intervention if it exists :)) Have you ever read Arthur C. Clark's "Childhood's End"?....one of my favorite books? Speaks specifically of when the human race has reached a point of no return regarding it's self annihilation. Science fiction to be sure, but how many times has science fiction become prophetic in hind sight? Good to speak w/ you. Hope you are well.
@shugalluful However, I think another problem is sitting around waiting for "leaders" to do things for us, when they may not come. For example, we want to wait for "leaders" to give us green energy, instead of, say, trying to do that ourselves somehow. Though the expense makes it tough, but I don't necessarily think it _impossible_ (if people were willing to share or give each other, especially wealthier ones, the money to make these changes...).
@mike4ty4 Such unwillingness to share, I don't believe is an unchangeable for a great deal of the people that do it, it is just that "culture" seems to condition people to not want it. Greed can be overcome, it's not easy, but it's possible... I find it interesting people talk about "hard work" yet nobody talks about the hard work to change your heart...
@shugalluful But many "leaders", at least here in USA, seem more interested in keeping the oil dependence going. Especially the "Republican" party, though some in the Democrat party seem to as well. Not necessarily surprising, considering they tend to get backed in their campaigns, etc. by oil company money.
@mike4ty4..cont.....Indeed some of us are, and have been sounding the alarm for decades. Not only in regards to nuclear weapons, as you point out, but to hazards and threats to innumerable to count, ie., pollution, food modification, class war, religious zealotry, corporate plutocracy......I guess I'm sounding pretty hopeless...but again....I don't see world leaders with courage and independence enough to begin the rallying us to sanity. I agree that it may take a cataclysmic event to wake us.
@mike4ty4...Hello again......No, no, no....I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was for abandoning any attempts at denuclearizing our world. I was glad that Obama began the Treaty work w/ Russia....and support fully and whole heartedly. I'm sorry if I gave the impression otherwise. Its simply that I have so little faith in the human species as a whole - that we are capable of the forsight and vision needed in this dire time.
@shugalluful I think there's many people that could do it, but they don't get the power. It seems that to get power (or to have a higher chance at least), you need to be a bad boy, hence only bad boys get power. And, well... there goes the world...
@mike4ty4 - Currently, I see no leaders on the Global stage that meet that criteria, nor do I see an environment that makes the concept of "nuke free" a plausible option. I am fascinated by the events unfolding in the Middle East but cautious ..how did that old song by the Who go?.."Here comes the New Boss - same as the old Boss"
Tired and angry, we - Americans - Egyptians -Brits - Libyans-Russians -have all been exploited and used by the power elite....our leaders merely puppets.
@shugalluful So are you saying that we _shouldn't_ get rid of nuke bombs, and so that it's the people who are saying we should (and also should stop all other kinds of extinctive activities) are idiots and causing FAR more harm than good?! Or what?
The only thing I can see now is for oil to run out and the system we've built on it, which enables so much destruction, to undergo catabolic collapse. It'll be ugly, but since we refuse to take painful action now to stop all our destructive stuff...
@mike4ty4 The only thing is, we might break out the nuke bomb when that happens... :( Or just unload all that ammo we've built up in a worldwide shooting fest...
@mike4ty4.....Thank you for noticing my post. Obviously, I'm just a simple guy who has come to the realization that I know less & less with each passing year.
Our folly is not solely related to the massing of nuclear weapons. We seem hell bent on driving ourselves into extinction on so many fronts that at times it seems hopeless.
In an armed stand off, who will be the first to put their guns down? Who has the courage and moral bearings to make the first move? >continued...
@shugalluful "Our folly is not solely related to the massing of nuclear weapons. We seem hell bent on driving ourselves into extinction on so many fronts that at times it seems hopeless." Indeed -- like the general production of conventional arms -- apparently there's so many bullets and shells and bombs and what not out there to render us extinct many times over if we just kept shooting. Add to that all the pollution, all the greed, all that crap...
and now i no why the trees on the island off of sponge bomb lean over ther dead this bom was droped on bikini island im suprise sponge bob isnt a mutent.....OR IS HE????
I don't know whats more disturbing; the video itself + all of it's implications or the posted comments. I realize that a great deal of "posters" on Youtube are just 12 year kids taking a break from wanking themselves to death...but some of the adults seem to have little or no knowledge of history (context)....let alone the ability to spell with some degree of proficiency. It is precisely this type of idiocy that makes the prospect of nuclear Armageddon so plausible - fucking scary
@shugalluful So what do you propose we should do about the problem? We shouldn't have all these nukes. Nobody should have any more nukes -- as long as there's at least 1 nuke out there, it's always possible that they'll get used by somebody and there goes your "nuclear Armageddon".
@shugalluful Even scarier is the fact that if the degree of stupidity continues to increase, it may render our future indistinguishable from a nuclear Armageddon.
The myth that nuclear war would destroy all the wild life can be proven wrong. Wildlife is flourishing in the evacuation zone around Chernobyl. The radiation there was supposed to be lethel for centuries, yet deer, wild pigs, and all sorts of other animals are thriving there.
"Dr. Strangelove", (or how I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb).
Those explosions were never meant for
pretty. They were designed to KILL & maim many thousands of innocent civilians in something called "The Cold War". The sight of those fearsome mushroom clouds is evidence of how far mankind is willing to advance in their lust for blood & death. We only hope one day nobody will be left on earth who even remembers what these damnable things looked like.
Not just civilians.. mutates the wildlife... and we even test them in oceans.. yes, lets fuck up the earth even more. If were going to test bombs, we need to do it on the moon (not even sure if it would work) but still, we shouldn't need bombs anyway.
Why this looks so different and red compared to the Tzar is because its detonated at night, if you watch the Tzar video, the Tzar actually turns the middle of bright day into complete darkness heh.
You do realize for every nuke that is fired at the USA our policy is to fire 3 back. So I agree, shoot at us... We will end this species and everything else on the planet.
Is what you're doing right now... ending this species and everything else on the planet... or at least you're doing a great effort!!! Hurray for USA!!!
in the description u said hiroshima was 20 kilotons. close but hiroshima was only 15 kilotons. and also its not an atomic bomb bravo is a hydrogen bomb
And go where? Russia, Iran, North Korea, China? They all want to see you dead. Did you forgot the peace you love was for a long time guaranteed by these weapons you hate?
When im looking this clip and thinking about how Cold War could have ended - in nuclear war, its really freaks me out. It was close to start third world war.
@mkpshur ok get me a full can of baked beans, a ribeye steak, mac and cheese, and a shit-ton of root beer (and no i am not a fatass, facsinating right?)
sorry, the sources i get my information from were telling me little boy was 20 kilotons, i'm finding some that say it was 13-22, some 12.5, some 15, some 20. So i guess we can say it was anywhere from 750-1200.
And when i say sources i dont mean google and wikipedia.
According to official sources, the most accurate yield for Little Boy was 15 kilotons at the most, the same as Grable. 20 kilotons is a gross overestimate, likely to have arisen from the fact that a lot of people tend to overestimate things to make everything else look puny.
good assumption, i am reading a more consistent reference to Nagasaki's bomb more in the area of 20 kilotons though. But of course they were two completely different kinds of bombs. Regardless, 750 or 1200, thats fucking HUGE. enough to destroy 66 miles of an island and kill a couple japanese fisherman a couple hundred miles away i guess.
Well, yeah, the nagasaki was in an entirely different leaque than the little boy. It had a yield of 20 kT, while it had around 6.4 kg of fissile material, compared to the little boy's 60 kg (in the case of the LB, only around 1.2% of it actually burned, less than one kilogram). Even though the bravo blast was handicapped by the fact that it was a ground detonation, it could still devastate 800 square miles. Impressive is the word.
...Whow, that's the most devistating and most powerful atomic bomb I ever witnessed ._. it was so bright I think the trees from miles like 15 miles away caught on fire! Idk...that's crazy power
Tsar was not only largest but ironicaly one of the cleanest bomb.Castle Bravo was one of the dirtiest. 67% from the detonation was from fision reaction and only 32% from fusion. Radioactive Fallout was huge. Tsar was 3% fission and 97% !!! fusion reaction. Almost perfect, "clean" energy.
Fusion doesn't emit that much energy. It is primarily used to hypercompress the fissile, which then can explode much more cleanly because of more complete detonation. The fusion only boosts the fission reaction through application of intense heat and pressure.
Second, how the hell do you fuse Uranium or Plutonium? You don't.
Tsar Bomba was not a clean bomb, it simply blew the irradiated atmosphere and unused fissile into space.
Why would the USSR tell you it was anything but clean?
Fusion reaches higher temperatures and has about a 5x advantage in terms of yield to weight.
Tsar was "clean" because it was 97% fusion. The fission tamper would have doubled its yield, but have diminished the fusion yield to about 50%, releasing large amounts of radiation from the decaying remnants of the fission reaction.
From what I've gathered, though there were more powerful bombs built, this was the largest man-made fireball ever produced. However, in terms of explosive yield, the Russian "Tsar Bomba" is king; 58 megatons, the most powerful bomb ever produced.
That is incorrect in every sense of the term. The bravo detonation was produced a smaller mushroom cloud than even castle romeo (12 MT), which had a volume of more than twice that of bravo o.O. The fireball diameter scales with the yield raised to approx .35. Tsar produced a fireball ~9.5 km across, bravo only had around 6 km (ivy mike was 5.25 km according to the official report). If you believe a bomb that is 4x larger weapon produces a smaller fireball, something must be seriously wrong.
I'm sorry if I was wrong, I was only commenting on what I heard. I also thought that it was strange that a less-powerful bomb would produce a larger fireball. On the subject of the Tsar, it was completely impractical; not only was it far too powerful to ever be used, but most of the energy went straight up into space. It was also just too big to be flown over great distances.
totally right man!! americans are so idiots! I can't imagine the money they spend doing this shit. And then we have climatic problems. The should blow their ass up!
liveShit, you obviously hasn't learned anything from World History when something called the Cold War went on for about 40 fucking years.
One of the main aspects of the Cold War was the nuclear arms race to build the biggest and deadliest bombs, The United States wasn't the only country to do this.
No, it wasn't the only country. Yes was the only one who killed people with these kind of arms (remember hiroshima and nagasaki?) and was the first who tested an H bomb. US started this fucking shit, don't blame other countries!
The atomic bomb was developed primarily because Albert Einstein, who emigrated to the U.S. from Germany, warned the President that GERMANY was working on developing a nuclear weapon, and that the U.S. needed to get in gear and beat the Germans to doing so, lest the Germans gain a winning advantage. And so, the U.S. did. If we hadn't, you might be speaking German right now, and wearing a swastika.
It's kind of hard to say what we would have done had we been there (re: dropping the bomb). I do know that my father (infantry) was on board a ship getting ready for the invasion of Japan.
When he heard about the bomb being dropped, he said that all the invasion troops on the ship cried, because they realized they were going to live. It's easy to condemn after the passage of time the decision to drop the bomb.
Was your dad by any chance one of those who was going to invade Japan?
Thank you for posting this without the soundtrack.
This is the image I grew up with in the 50's and it worries me that later generations have come to think of it as myth. There are still over 30,000 bombs in the world's arsenals and it would only take 200 to create the nuclear winter that would make us extinct.
The US army made it so it was suppost to be 4 megatons but it turned out to be 15 megatons and it ruined there test site and everything on the island.i saw it on destroyed in seconds...
actually it took place on an island and the bomb was meant to be a 4 megaton. they made a major miscalculation. The island it took place on no longer exists. the explosion left more then a mile deep crater where the island used to be.
@TheGreatBuu the original atomic bombs were fission, but there is a limit to how powerful you can make a fission bomb, bearing in mind this one has a thousand times the power of little boy used against Hiroshima. I'm not sure about the science of it, but they use a fission reaction with like a hydrogen isotope or something (hence hydrogen bomb) to make a fusion reaction (or thermonuclear) to make the reaction far greater than it would be possible for a standard fission one.
Oh fuck... And if Soviet Union would blow up all 100 megatone instead of 50??? According to all available information the shock wave has bypassed all planet 3 times, all seismic stations of the world have fixed explosion... Shit, fucking bombs... =((
i think the castle bravo bomb was ABOUT, notice i said about! 25 megatons. the united states bigest bomb to date. the russians have the tsar bomba (aka big ivan) wich was 50 megatons, but they claim they could have done 100 megatons... that would be 100 trillion ponds of tnt!!!
actually, it was 15 megatons. they actually expected a four megaton bomb, but there was an unexpected change in the fission process which multiplied the explosion, and actually incinerated and submerged the entire testing island. and they did this with several other countries after the cold war ended.
Most people still think that nuclear weapons are dropped wrong. They are launched. And another thing I got news those explosions you are watching. That's what is needed to set off the weapons of today. Why did they do so many tests? Not just for effects . Mathematics bigger and bigger!!
the tsar was dropped, little boy was dropped, and fat man was dropped. theyare not launched, and if they were, it would be a huge risk in case of the bomb's turbine or other Propulsion system failing, and blowing up prematurely.
The biggest Nuke ever detonated was the "Tsar Bomba", which was done by the Russians. It was 50 megatons, which is about twice that of the biggest thing the U.S. even has. If I can remember, the size of the fireball was 16 km (about 9 miles) across, and the kill-range for it was 100 miles.
We know neighbouring stars can reignite white dwarfs so why rush what the sun will do eventually anyway. Why so big? Are they tryin to make this reactions self-sustainable or what, is it a possibility? surely a more theoretical approach with more specific and controlled experiments should and should of taken place.
urquiza what does neighboring stars and white dwarfs have to do with global warming. the nearest star is 4 lightyears away (and in case you dont know a lightyear is 9,460,000,000,000 kilometres)so a star that far away realy has no real effect on us.and what the heck do white dwarfs have anything to do with it?
The earth has been cooling down for millions of years ever since the Hadeon eon period the earth actually froze once lol. My comment had nothing to do with a star as 'you' say 9,460,000,000,000 kilo'meters' away. You are right 'white dwarfs' are irrelevant!, haha, but then this is a video regarding a nuclear bomb test so a guess really if ya gonna be like that it has nothing also to do with global warming...we are jus speculating is that ok by you? ZackMan?
No. The lithium7 isotopes reacted as well as the lithium6 (which they didn't think would happen), tripled the yeild from 5 to 15 megatones, blew past their safty perimeter, took out their test camp, and killed & injured a jap fishing boat crew downwind with fallout.
Are you trying to say that the sun is polluting the earth just as much as this hydrogen bomb? You have to remember that we have an atmosphere plus magnetosphere that deflects the dangerous particles that are sent out from the sun! The bomb is on land!
did i ever say that? I was just getting the point across that bombings like this one have nothing to do with global warming. the earth is struck with enough sun energy each day to equal the force of i think its 1000 atomic bombs. thats a force that we cannot change.
But its EVOLUTION man. If man is a mere animal then man is part of nature; y'know, the circle of life n shit. If we're meant to restart the planet, we will.
your serious, you wonder how they got footage? lmfao.. and if you think nukes helped with global warming your smoking fucking crack... my lord didn't you people go to school?
the bomb was probably (i dont know this for certain) equipped with a parachute, providing the plane with sufficient time to get the hell away from the explosion, otherwise it would probably result in a suicide mission. but this film clip looks to be taken from both the air and ground, so idk
This is like the 1908 Tunguska event when an asteroid 200 feet in diameter hit with the force of 15 megatons of TNT!

umm, the hiroshime bomb was only 12-15 kilotons, this is about 1000-1200 times that puny explosion.
Nuker1337 3 years ago
roughly 750
JakeCanine 2 years ago
15000/15 is 1000 (and 15000 / 12.5 is 1200), so I'm sorry to say that I was right and you're wrong.
Nuker1337 2 years ago
sorry, the sources i get my information from were telling me little boy was 20 kilotons, i'm finding some that say it was 13-22, some 12.5, some 15, some 20. So i guess we can say it was anywhere from 750-1200.
And when i say sources i dont mean google and wikipedia.
JakeCanine 2 years ago
According to official sources, the most accurate yield for Little Boy was 15 kilotons at the most, the same as Grable. 20 kilotons is a gross overestimate, likely to have arisen from the fact that a lot of people tend to overestimate things to make everything else look puny.
Nuker1337 2 years ago
good assumption, i am reading a more consistent reference to Nagasaki's bomb more in the area of 20 kilotons though. But of course they were two completely different kinds of bombs. Regardless, 750 or 1200, thats fucking HUGE. enough to destroy 66 miles of an island and kill a couple japanese fisherman a couple hundred miles away i guess.
JakeCanine 2 years ago
Well, yeah, the nagasaki was in an entirely different leaque than the little boy. It had a yield of 20 kT, while it had around 6.4 kg of fissile material, compared to the little boy's 60 kg (in the case of the LB, only around 1.2% of it actually burned, less than one kilogram). Even though the bravo blast was handicapped by the fact that it was a ground detonation, it could still devastate 800 square miles. Impressive is the word.
Nuker1337 2 years ago
...Whow, that's the most devistating and most powerful atomic bomb I ever witnessed ._. it was so bright I think the trees from miles like 15 miles away caught on fire! Idk...that's crazy power

Then write Tsar on youtube. 4x Bigger then that.
Milosck 2 years ago
Tsar was not only largest but ironicaly one of the cleanest bomb.Castle Bravo was one of the dirtiest. 67% from the detonation was from fision reaction and only 32% from fusion. Radioactive Fallout was huge. Tsar was 3% fission and 97% !!! fusion reaction. Almost perfect, "clean" energy.
flastie 3 years ago
there were even "dirtier" tests conducted by the US. Shot Tewa of operation redwing was 77% fission
Nuker1337 3 years ago
Fusion doesn't emit that much energy. It is primarily used to hypercompress the fissile, which then can explode much more cleanly because of more complete detonation. The fusion only boosts the fission reaction through application of intense heat and pressure.
Second, how the hell do you fuse Uranium or Plutonium? You don't.
Tsar Bomba was not a clean bomb, it simply blew the irradiated atmosphere and unused fissile into space.
Why would the USSR tell you it was anything but clean?
NeverForgetTheFallen 2 years ago
Fusion reaches higher temperatures and has about a 5x advantage in terms of yield to weight.
Tsar was "clean" because it was 97% fusion. The fission tamper would have doubled its yield, but have diminished the fusion yield to about 50%, releasing large amounts of radiation from the decaying remnants of the fission reaction.
Nuker1337 2 years ago
From what I've gathered, though there were more powerful bombs built, this was the largest man-made fireball ever produced. However, in terms of explosive yield, the Russian "Tsar Bomba" is king; 58 megatons, the most powerful bomb ever produced.
AnimeFanatic5602 3 years ago
That is incorrect in every sense of the term. The bravo detonation was produced a smaller mushroom cloud than even castle romeo (12 MT), which had a volume of more than twice that of bravo o.O. The fireball diameter scales with the yield raised to approx .35. Tsar produced a fireball ~9.5 km across, bravo only had around 6 km (ivy mike was 5.25 km according to the official report). If you believe a bomb that is 4x larger weapon produces a smaller fireball, something must be seriously wrong.
Nuker1337 2 years ago
I'm sorry if I was wrong, I was only commenting on what I heard. I also thought that it was strange that a less-powerful bomb would produce a larger fireball. On the subject of the Tsar, it was completely impractical; not only was it far too powerful to ever be used, but most of the energy went straight up into space. It was also just too big to be flown over great distances.

liveShit, you obviously hasn't learned anything from World History when something called the Cold War went on for about 40 fucking years.
One of the main aspects of the Cold War was the nuclear arms race to build the biggest and deadliest bombs, The United States wasn't the only country to do this.

No, it wasn't the only country. Yes was the only one who killed people with these kind of arms (remember hiroshima and nagasaki?) and was the first who tested an H bomb. US started this fucking shit, don't blame other countries!

I said United States WASN'T the only country to do this.
cyrax987 3 years ago
The atomic bomb was developed primarily because Albert Einstein, who emigrated to the U.S. from Germany, warned the President that GERMANY was working on developing a nuclear weapon, and that the U.S. needed to get in gear and beat the Germans to doing so, lest the Germans gain a winning advantage. And so, the U.S. did. If we hadn't, you might be speaking German right now, and wearing a swastika.
DouglasJBender 3 years ago
It's kind of hard to say what we would have done had we been there (re: dropping the bomb). I do know that my father (infantry) was on board a ship getting ready for the invasion of Japan.
When he heard about the bomb being dropped, he said that all the invasion troops on the ship cried, because they realized they were going to live. It's easy to condemn after the passage of time the decision to drop the bomb.
Was your dad by any chance one of those who was going to invade Japan?

This is the image I grew up with in the 50's and it worries me that later generations have come to think of it as myth. There are still over 30,000 bombs in the world's arsenals and it would only take 200 to create the nuclear winter that would make us extinct.

TheGreatBuu 1 year ago
@TheGreatBuu the original atomic bombs were fission, but there is a limit to how powerful you can make a fission bomb, bearing in mind this one has a thousand times the power of little boy used against Hiroshima. I'm not sure about the science of it, but they use a fission reaction with like a hydrogen isotope or something (hence hydrogen bomb) to make a fusion reaction (or thermonuclear) to make the reaction far greater than it would be possible for a standard fission one.

i think the castle bravo bomb was ABOUT, notice i said about! 25 megatons. the united states bigest bomb to date. the russians have the tsar bomba (aka big ivan) wich was 50 megatons, but they claim they could have done 100 megatons... that would be 100 trillion ponds of tnt!!!
Berzerkerdood 3 years ago
actually, it was 15 megatons. they actually expected a four megaton bomb, but there was an unexpected change in the fission process which multiplied the explosion, and actually incinerated and submerged the entire testing island. and they did this with several other countries after the cold war ended.

Most people still think that nuclear weapons are dropped wrong. They are launched. And another thing I got news those explosions you are watching. That's what is needed to set off the weapons of today. Why did they do so many tests? Not just for effects . Mathematics bigger and bigger!!

the tsar was dropped, little boy was dropped, and fat man was dropped. theyare not launched, and if they were, it would be a huge risk in case of the bomb's turbine or other Propulsion system failing, and blowing up prematurely.

The biggest Nuke ever detonated was the "Tsar Bomba", which was done by the Russians. It was 50 megatons, which is about twice that of the biggest thing the U.S. even has. If I can remember, the size of the fireball was 16 km (about 9 miles) across, and the kill-range for it was 100 miles.

We know neighbouring stars can reignite white dwarfs so why rush what the sun will do eventually anyway. Why so big? Are they tryin to make this reactions self-sustainable or what, is it a possibility? surely a more theoretical approach with more specific and controlled experiments should and should of taken place.
urquiza78 4 years ago
urquiza what does neighboring stars and white dwarfs have to do with global warming. the nearest star is 4 lightyears away (and in case you dont know a lightyear is 9,460,000,000,000 kilometres)so a star that far away realy has no real effect on us.and what the heck do white dwarfs have anything to do with it?

No. The lithium7 isotopes reacted as well as the lithium6 (which they didn't think would happen), tripled the yeild from 5 to 15 megatones, blew past their safty perimeter, took out their test camp, and killed & injured a jap fishing boat crew downwind with fallout.
