Atomic Blasts, Operations Greenhouse through Upshot-Knothole

[happinesson]

video full of blast! Nice collections of blasting clips!

[bajacore]

The music makes this video a million times cooler

[JetMechMA]

I wonder what those "fingers" are seen extending down and out from the blast cloud, faster than the larger cloud? Are those the bomb casing and other machinery?...being ejected from the blast? Anybody know?

the drum fill at 0:31 is so sweet.

THIS IS THE RECORD OF THE FIRST MAN-MADE EARTHQUAKE.

I am not wrong. I challenge you all. With this so many lies fall.

Man-Made earthquakes… The U.S. account of the damage caused by Nikola Tesla in the first major earthquake made by man is in this 1912 government paper, “The Earthquakes at? Yakutat Bay, Alaska, in September, 1899.”

Los Alamos National Laboratories TOP SECRET

61 kilotons is the energy released through the reaction. The quantity is measured in tons of high explosives.

tri nitro toluene to be exact tnt

[Eviktion]

a veteran from my area witnessed one of these from a 300 foot tower. the result was nowhere near this shxt.

[CapriFire101]

Nice fireworks. We need it for New Year's Eve!

i love how, even after making a functioning atomic bomb, the most powerful man made device at the time, they still had to run tests to make it better...

I've always been fascinated by atomic/nuclear weapons, amazing that we split the atom, but its left us in an unstable world

[ArcolaBridge]

fusing of the atom produces the Hydrogen bomb without harmful residual radiation. I wonder what the next generation weapon will be...

[JAK2112]

The majority of atomic testing wasn't in order to make them better/more powerful. Most testing was to see how the weapons worked in different environments, situations, and see exactly how they worked and how they would effect their surroundings.

[fridogg]

kilotons are nothing anymore. A us nuclear submarine carry about 500 megatons of whoop ass

[Breadstick88]

OMG EPIC

[justwestofhell001]

Awesome! A very very powerfull toll but still a tool. I think it wont be long before someone starts swinging their tool. The outcome will be "interesting"

[IntellectualMidget]

yes, indeed, interesting

[BarneySaysHi]

You can see the guide wires and the tower evaporate when the towershot goes off (Nancy, Badger & Encore Event).

[crazydave55811]

I can't help but laugh when watching this video. Having this version of William Tell Overture playing as BGM for something so awesome and horrifying as detonating nuclear weapons is nothing short of class.

[MFCBastion]

Lol, evidently some DoE employee was bored...

[schnebley]

I like the way the upbeat music offsets the horrible images of a deadly weapon. It almost makes me forget that atomic devices will melt the flesh from our bones.

[shiningfork]

10 million degrees (faren i believe)? ya that should do it

[marchi3000]

It's originally Beethoven

[ancjr]

William Tell Overture by Gioacchino Rossini.

[ancjr]

It's a jazzy version of the William Tell Overture by Gioacchino Rossini.

[JAK2112]

Would you by any chance know the artist or group who recorded this version?

[ancjr]

not a clue.

[JAK2112]

Cool stuff. I really like the song, anyone happen to know what it is or who its by?
