Declassified U.S. Nuclear Test Film #60

[SAMFICOM]

Tests on human subjects. As in X-Files.

One guy took it right in the face. Then marched to the mushroom cloud. Wtf?

[LaGioiella]

What is really spooky is the fact that the US Government knew the effects of uranium exposure since European and American scientists gave them a report back in 1928 of that data. Information European researchers had since the late 1800's who were way ahead of us. Yet somehow the US thought it needed to experiment on the Japanese, the people of the Bikini Atoll and South Pacific neighbors, the Native Americans in New Mexico, US Citizens by their bomb tests in the Nevada desert.

I'm sorry but this training film did nothing to allay my fears about nuclear weapons. The effects linger for hundreds and thousands of years. We know that now. They have turned much of this planet into radiation hot zones.

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

"in airbursts...no serious amount of radioactivity remains on the ground" FALSE!!!

[shotfirer1972]

M1 carbine with a first gen snooper scope, that's cool.

Thanks for posting these films, really interesting technical procedures etc. Cheers

And people keep smoking despite the risks.

[groganzolla1]

WikiLeaks, eat your heart out. Support the troops, NOT the oops...Get the troops out of harm's way

[Ghostwolfalpha]

What the soldiers who participated in this exercise did not realized that, in the decades following the event the majority of them will die of some form of cancer.

Such naivety also existed in the Plowshare program, they thought they can harness the explosive power of the nuclear explosive with total disregard long term effct of the radiation.The fact is that the residual radiation WILL contaminate the surrounding air, soil and water and stays contaminated for decades.

[roberttthemoose]

just sweep it off with a broom

[enjoixander]

Ever think that the usa is not really run by the people?

[Delta4845]

@enjoixander 11:15 Well it isn't run by sheep.

[legomegamoviemaker]

@enjoixander yeah

[ZBRMusic]

If I'm not mistaken, that is the DOG shot of operation Buster-Jangle and produced a yield of 21 kt. In 1955 during Desert Rock VI, troops were placed at a range of 900 metres from the blast. Most of these troopers have had serious health problems, thyroid cancer in most cases. What amuses the hell out of me in this video, is the cheerful music playing.

[MrTeaB]

@ZBRMusic and what amuses me is that people cannot see that, depsite having television, the science in 1951 was not as developed as it is now. They obviously went far too far with some of the larger atmospheric, underground and underwater tests but what would you do if you found this kind of energy?

[40pipoune]

To luridplanet: Please, be advised France ceased airburst more than 30 years ago !!!!

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

yes, and in fact, china was the last to do an atmospheric test in 1980.

[xxzusxx]

what a joke this is using a broom to decontaminate the troops how many died of cancer years later

[nikos4free]

If i were an american i would be shamed to publish this. It meka me sick,

[iluvbuckethead]

i agree, i think its stupid how we were like

'hey, lets test this on people!'

;what about radiation?'

'whats that?'

[luridplanet]

I'm more ashamed that France is still doing atmospheric tests, and I'm not even French

[40pipoune]

Be advised France stopped atmospheric tests more than 30 years ago !!!!!!
