0:09 MY FUCKING JEEP!

[375hhshooter]

Shadowslider1, I think that's when he blows his noise.

[FUCKyouANDyourDOG]

0:12 

[shadowslider1]

That's what happens when chuck norris takes a shit :P

[TheGreatDevin11]

"Mommy, look LOOK! House go boom boom!!"

[riseofthefallen666]

when i saw the ppl taking cover coming out like tht i thought it was the mutated freaks from the hills have eyes lol

[Diraphe]

The cameras are placed in spherical iron containers

[EagleParras]

Look at the house, it firstly burn the shown side up and then BAAM!..

[Dimarcox12]

Holy Sh*t

[onii07]

indestructible camera?

[jpongsin2002]

It's From 1955, Operation Teapot.

but, it not same.

[wileyk209zback]

Quite a bit of this footage was also used on "The Day After" (1983) during the nuclear explosion sequence.

[tstack4185]

Read a science book folks.

[CrazyIemon]

cool stuff

[DemiGod251]

Sorry Treblaine I have to disagree. i studied minerals in college. IF the Camera had been made of steel it wouldn't have survived.because steel is a conductor of heat meaning that the blast would easily just melt the camera footage. So the only way the camera could have survived was if it was miles away and zoomed in.and made of lead because leads density is so high and not a conductor of heat.but the pixie glass is fine.^_^

[LKLNinja]

you're right, if you watch one of the videos on here its i n parts, but each one is ten minutes long and the actual video the american guv released, and it has a camera viewing it and it slowly zooms out and it's so far away.

[woofwoofdog9]

I agree with you... to an extent. If the camera was anywhere within 100 miles, the electro-magnetic pulse would destroy the circuit.

[InquisitorEradicator]

they used mechanical cameras

[WackyWadslow]

DemiGod251, I agree with you, but thats not the case...

theres a longer version of this test with the precautions and all taken before. the cameras are mounted next to the object (houses, vehicles) being tested. How? i have noooooo idea

[shadowblade1989]

how do u think the camera survived the blast!

[Maybsumdayuwillno]

the cameras were probably miles away

[Sorrythat111]

Its was recording inside the blast. It just show how this will look like,it isn't real explosion

[InquisitorEradicator]

they attached telescopes

[torak101]

You need to understand when they were testing this stuff people didn't understand nuclear energy and it's long term effects all that well yet.

[blazer551]

how did the camera survive the blast??:D

[Treblaine]

@blazer551

it would be easy to armour a camera to survive the nuclear blast as long as it is far enough away to not be engulfed by the superhot atomic fireball.

A steel case with pexiglass window would be enough. If the house had been made of inch thick steel it would have survived as well.

It is not like everything which is slightly touched by a nuclear blast is utterly destroyed, there is a middle ground of damage similar to conventional explosive blast.

[TheAKmatics]

@blazer551

in a german made bunker

[TheTdays]

@blazer551 500000x zoom

[vfxmasterorin]

were those real buildings? stupid question, but they looked like tiny pieces of wood.

[wheelmanstan]

Yep the U.S. Army tested men like guinea pigs and marched them into atomic blasts just to see if they could do it. I would love to hear from a survivor that was ordered to do that.

[spyhunter272]

MosinNagantMan1 there is oxygen when a nuke goes off. The nukes effects only go out to 4 miles anyway. The Radiation is the only thing that goes out any farther

[paridys]

dude nucler bombs can be seen in outerspace........

[OrAnGeYsKaTe]

BITCH WHERE THE FUCKS MY NUCLEAR PROOF GLASS!

awesome video<3

[Gorbachev4Life]

How weird would it be to be the guys in that trench. Like, coming up and seeing a huge f*cking explosion right in front of your eyes.

[BenetFleck]

I love making idiot texts here.

Live and learn dudes,

live and learn.

[BenetFleck]

Is this why Rush Limbaugh is the way he is? Lack of oxygen and puffy skin?

[TehRealCanadarocker]

Ahhhh I have always loved the shock waves of nukes, especially when you get the rare look to see them in action.

[MosinNagantMan1]

Wanna know something cool? Within 10 miles of a nuclear blast for 20 seconds afterwards there is no oxygen. Wanna know something else cool? If you're close enough to an atomic blast the flying dust particles cause your skin to "popcorn" in which little welts pop up all over it.

[MuayThaiViking]

it depends on how large the bomb is. if i stood 10 miles away from the hiroshima bomb i wouldnt get blown up

[KratosxD]

at 0:12 was that the heat wave then the shock wave?

[monimstarfox]

the only thing im wondering is were is my couch because i want a front row seat when this happens

[legionair17]

Honey,do we have a nuke insurance??

[IGotSkills3]

Paint started peeling away from the house b4 the blast got there :\

[volume132]

it didnt peel.

it burnt off.

[imonaboatsnl]

the house part is friggin sick

[LANPARTYDUDE]

how did they make a camera that lived through that?

[volume132]

reinforced invection lenses.

[SrgtBarney]

they put some nuclear proof glass or somethin around it

[wileyk209zback]

The camera wouldn't survive, but the film would! They just retrieve the film after the radiation has died down, develop it, and watch the results!

[Nizmonutz]

@wileyk209zback wtf the camera was sitting next to those live people what would effect the camera soo much taht would effect the people i mean other than radiation killing most the troop the camera would be just fine.

[tman343434]

@wileyk209zback there is no radiation during those tests. because of the altitude they explode at....

[Jorrejolle]

Holy shit look at the house :O i wouldnt like to sit in there :o

[NoGooodKillRoy]

noi o dezmembram si pe asta din mers si o trimiteam la fiare vechi:)))

[JimTheMingebag]

I saw some test footage like then except they were testing animals, rats, and pigs. They all got fryed.

[opyte]

Mmmmm Bacon

[NielsShoe]

They can put camereas in blocks of lead with ultra thick glass. A small iron block with a camera in it is far stronger than a flimsy house that is only designed to withstand 90 MPH winds.

[battechno]

those scenes (accept for the soldiers) were used in the movie "The day after" in 1983

[jassinlive]

you mean "except"

[SagginWillies]

Its like watching the earth fart, I wonder what it smelled like?

[davidthefat]

Honestly how did they film it? I dont get it.. how did the camera survive the blast but not buildings?

[Spyronox468]

look it up on the internet, matbe google or ask, yahoo, maybe even youtube

[tarek1982]

well because the camera was not facing the blast and for sure they had special cameras to manage the heat and of course major concrete base for the camera not to fly but the wave

[TippmannA5Sniper]

shit somebody's armed the bomb (cod4)

[volume132]

Are you FUCKING kidding me..

THS IS NOT A GAME

ITS REAL LIFE

GROW Up

sorry for being an asshole

[aphex1982]

Someone set us up the bomb

[AirpowerAirforce]

fuck bob

[burntfaceman86]

Ive always wondered how the hell did the film that back then from those angles? did they build bomb proof concrete towers to film on?

[Darksonic1928]

errr i suppose they put something in the air to film it but then again the camera mightve been destroyed but the film was still alive

[TALOS7887]

Concrete bunkers? Sounds a little logical right?

[AirpowerAirforce]

nope look up civil deffence nuke test under declasified films id post a link but would probably get spamed. As i was saying they got the fottage by making the cameras areo dynamic and posting them on what look like light pools. what was tearing thoes structers apart was the airblast so make an areodynamic camera no need for a well secured fridge to capture the fotage.

[AirpowerAirforce]

areodynamic cameras on ligh polls... disgraphia.

[wndsrfr467]

yeah most likely concrete bunkers. its not really that hard to make nuke proof buildings. there were actually people near at epicenter of the hiroshima bomb who survived inside buildings designed to be earthquake proof since parts of japan were frequented by quakes

[mpoustchi110]

im calling bullshit on that one....ppl survived the epicenter but people miles and miles away were cremated alive?...very believable

[froterons]

it actually is, luck plays out... and people live.

[wndsrfr467]

i apologize ahead of time if i sound mean but u must understand my frustration.

do u seriously lack the mental capacity to see how people can survive close to the epicenter of an explosion? not only are u denying historical fact but u also deny the whole concept behind bomb shelters. there were people near the epicenter in reinforced buildings that effectively served as a shelter despite catastrophic damage to parts of the building. is it not logical that one can survive close to ground zero

[wndsrfr467]

in an earthquake resistant structure, while an unprotected person at a distance away may still die? the bombs exploded above ground level meaning anyone who died from the bomb's extreme heat mostly died due to radiation of heat rather than conduction or convection currents. thus one may be able to avoid a great majority of the infrared rays emitted by simply taking shelter behind a structure that appears opaque to this wavelength of electromagnetic energy

[wndsrfr467]

and if you still don't believe me then search "Akiko Takakura" in google and you'll find that she was roughly 300 meters from the blast and survived. honestly mpoustichi110 it took be about 10 seconds to go to google and look up survivors of the bomb to come up with that name. ill bet it probably took you about that much time to write your "im calling bullshit" comment. please inform yourself before you pontificate over historical events you have little knowledge of.

[SrgtBarney]

thats because its like an earth quake since its above the hyper center which starts to spread across from the epicenter

[rckon777]

Fallout 3 exactly!

[copycat0070]

you can see paint on that building burning away from radiation/heat before the shockwave arrived

[reesesb1]

north korea tested their own atomic bomb last year. i think thats what mblackestheartm was referring to.

[Gurrdawg]

dont worry acording to indiana jones you could just hide in the frige

[NintendosWee]

LMAO, fridges are always safe

[rckon777]

I wish they were then their would be hope.

[thisguyheisaguy]

@Gurrdawg to his credit it was a military grade fridge inlade with a foot of lead on all sides!

[PremierMilenkov]

NORTH KOREA?????That's an american test from around the 60s.

[mblackestheartm]

north korea? whered you get that?

[Carrera4SX50]

Is that what happend in North Korea ???

[thelimestonecowboy]

That looks like film from Shot Grable (Operation Upshot-Knothole, 25-May-1953).

[somethingirreversib]

No thats happened when the USA tested his nuke in the early 50's. Then they built a few hundred other and deadlier of this and gave the plans to the jews. The soviet union built a dozen of it. Now we have to shit into the plans beacuse North-Korea built 1 after sixty years.
