Operation Upshot-Knothole Grable 1953

[diapedysis]

My father came home after Korea and committed slow suicide with a bottle. He was insane with the vision of the horrors of what men can do to each other and the greif for his friends in the USMC and the Canadian Army in which he served. Now we are at war with the earth destroying the very thing which sustains us. It is said humans are fundamentally insane----can't argue with that at all. I'm truly ashamed to be called a member of the human race.

what would happen if you were cough in a nuclear explosion would you survive it?

[RebelGuy95]

@mario6279 you mean caught lol?....well, they subjected pigs to it, you can see them in the vid.

They suffered 80% of their body being burned and probably died of radiation later anyway, so I doubt you would

[thefurryrailfan]

[PS2djX]

[Saura74]

what is the name of the techno song that was here in the begining?

[faithnhope10]

My father and numerous other Marines were there in trenches less then a mile away from ground zero. The government put film badges on them to see how much radiation they would receive.  After the detonation the wind turned direction. They were all just Guinea Pigs for the government. He, my father, died of the radiation effects,,,,,,,cancer. You may think this is beautiful, but it really isn't,,,,it's sad.

[TitusFlavius79]

I dont think in anyway its beautiful to die on cancer or running into the Nuclear Ground Zero. I have a deep respect for all the unknown Atomic Vets of the Cold War era. I had only few days before a contact with a other child of a Atomic Vet. Yes the US-Goverment used alot of those Soldiers as living Test objects without telling them the dangers of the rad or fallout..

[faithnhope10]

Thank you for sending me to the Atomic Vet site and for your response. I didn't think you thought it was beautiful, someone else had replied, "Beautiful"

thank you again for the additonal info.

[TitusFlavius79]

I know the stupid comment made someone 3 years ago. Anyway im glad that i have helped you. Have a nice day then.

[smokinjoe666]

Wow your really pumping that comment 3rd video i have seen you pump the "guinea pig" comment or is it the second?

[faithnhope10]

I'm sorry I don't understand the question. I believe what you might be asking is, "Is this the second or third video you have made a comment about the Vets being used as guinea pigs?" Yes, I am trying to inform the younger generation about the lies our government used on our own military to get them as close to ground zero as possible. Would you use another word to explain what they were doing? I don't know why this would offend you.

[jinto1980]

@faithnhope10

Why would we need to study the effects of radiation after two scientist die in accidents and we dropped two atomic weapons on Japan. We all ready knew the effects.

oh and the leaders of the United States at the time of this test are dead. If you want to drum up a conspiricy might i suggest you join the 911 was an inside job idiots or perhaps the tea party tons of nuts in there.

[marmaladekamikaze]

@faithnhope10

My Condolences, I hope you and him had many a close years until his death. may I ask what his film badge Dosimeter reading was, and what sentiments did he express to you about the testing?

[monkeyman1140]

You pray there isn't a misfire.

[TitusFlavius79]

Well the Test Diablo in the Operation Plumbbob 1957 was a misfire.

[TitusFlavius79]

[TitusFlavius79]

[Tomtrapman]

I've always wondered how they filmed those cars and buildings getting destroyed.

[cgman2]

Thats a 11 inch  shell they shot 280mm it was fired 6.2 miles or 10k and was 15 kilotones.

[BigKwell]

The shell was a 'gun-type' weapon, meaning it consisted of two pellets of U-235 slamming into each other at the point of reaching the target, achieving critical mass.

[cgman2]

Bit tight on the pigs in those cages.

[Newworld444]

Interesting, I could not think of them ever using the new ones, unless they want to bring about the end of humankind as we know it.

[lordwar27]
