Something that people routinely overlook is that in WW2 (when the first nuclear weapons were used), there were fewer people killed and fewer buildings destroyed by each of the nuclear attacks than there were in a single incindiary raid by a formation of B-29s on Tokyo a few weeks earlier. Incindiary attacks flattened a large portion fo Tokyo and killed more people in the resulting firestorms, than either Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
This cannon is called the "Nuclear Cannon" only because it was the first cannon to fire a nuke. It is not significantly different in design or construction than any other cannon.
The idea that a Nuclear war cannot be won is rediculous, it has already happened. In 1945, the U.S. retaliated against Japanese aggression and used two nuclear devices, the world is still here. The "Nuclear Cannon" is a misnomer, since "a cannon is a cannon is a cannon", only the rtype of round fired differs. In the 1970's the Army had a variety of standard 155mm artillery guns, used for conventional rounds, we also had nuclear shells for the same cannons.
just a small question, what types of camera housings and covers do they use to film up close of objects being melted without the camera being destroyed itself?
Now that I'm not absolutely sure about, some of those shots that'd definitely apply lol I have no idea if they used some kind of shielding back then, although off the top of my head I would think that would have been unlikely given the time period (But who knowes?) OR if they just had a zoom lens. It would be interesting to find out though, I have no idea.
NVM, I just found out today that they put the cameras on sled like equipment (like the ones at :45). Most of the camera shielding was lead mixed with steel and a heavy, heavy plexi-glass window (just for the lenses, about 3 inches in diameter). They were further anchored to the ground using steel cables which were connected to concrete blocks buried in the ground. But the shots like the one with the trees, was shot at a distance.
ahh, now I see the problem, my son made that comment and now I , when I made the comment came up as my son--he was using my computer and now he left himself signed on so when I made the comment it came out as ferociousmadman. He must have made the comment under my nannykim1 because I must have been signed in.
Actually this is a fake. The explosion is real, but the bomb wasn't fired by a cannon. I'm sure this video was just produced to frighten the sowjets...
Thank you for saying that, it is possible to fit a nuke in an artillery shell, but the shell had to be custom made to withstand the G-force and the cannon had to be custom made also.
If your not next to the blast then first you fell the monstrous heat [which can burn skin black and dehydrate you until theres no recovery] as we saw in Japan, then your blown away, then back into grownd 0
It looks like the paint is blown off the vehicles or burned off first... then the force of the blast blows them away before getting sucked back into ground zero and moving upward into the sky... is that how these bombs work? Is that right?
The technology is easy for scientists around the world. As soon as some raghead asshole gets enriched uranium, theyre gonna nuke us. Surprised it hasnt already happened.
I would realy like to know who aproves this kind of war? to bombard civilan targets and anihilite entire cities... for what? world peace?get a brake, and ask your self has any other country ever used an atomic bomb in the name of "peace"... P.S I'm not a terrorist
pussies and assholes are not the same. Pussies open up front while assholes open up from the rear. Assholes are full of shit, but pussies are delicious. I like pussies more than assholes. :-)
"A nuclear war cannot be won and should never be fought."-- Ronald Reagan. You make a good point. We now have nuclear devices designed to have low yield and ones that can even be used to only destory a building or the equivalent of a city block. The only way I could see a nuclear weapon against civilian targets being justified is if it was being used to destroy a nation's military/industrial complex. Unlike back in the day, that's sadly often intertwined with the civilian workforce.
i hope that Atomic bombs will not be used against any country or whatsoever in future, these weapons were meant to be a final resort so plzz peoples NUKES ARE TOTAL DAMNATION!
I meant that we ought to consider using nuclear weopons as a fragile topic, not something you can just use...but nuclear reactors(power plant) are fine and the use for power is acceptable, but not using them as an element of war.
I mean come on its just a "war" among nations its not like we need to blast a whole WIDE area with innocents as well!!!
that is one of the most scariest things iv ever seen. and on Iraq BolterBolter, we went there to make sure those assholes dident have a nuke, so things like in this videos wouldent happen.
"Little Boy", the weapon used on Hiroshima, actually had a yield between 12-15 kilotons."Fat Man", the plutonium implosion device used at Nagasaki was nearer 20 kilotons. So "Atomic Annie" as the cannon was affectionately known as was deliveringa higher yield than Hiroshima,if it was, in fact, "only" 12 kilotons. To get sense of scale to relay just how huge this bomb is, look at the end of the video, where it shows the road and the mushroom cloud base. This is huge.
interesting none the less...another project when the USA got bored with normal Atomic bombs...Kinda make ya wonder if N. Korea may be trying to do something like this. Face it there rockets suck and so why not fire a nuke at S. Korea in a cannon...Primative but effective..I preferr the tomahawk cruise missle though if I had to choose..and oh yes..a warhead around 25 MT area...nice city busting weapon..Thats is I was a crazy dictator with nuclear power
All I gotta say is, good freakin God...the sheer SOUND of the cannon scares me....damn. To think it flew SEVEN (7!) miles in...what 7.5 seconds ??? Thats insane....just...plain out insane....
No, really. John Wayne breathed in a little to much radioactive sand when shooting "The Conqueror" on location in the Nevada desert in 1956, ony 3 yrs after these tests. Susan Hayward, director Dick Powell and 93 more ppls got the same symptoms and eventually died of cancer. F-ng bad location for a movie you might say, but back then nobody knew.
Operation: Upshot Knothole Shot Name: Grable Shot No.10 May 25, 1953 Detonation: Airburst Yield: 15kt Height of Blast: 524 ft Location:Nevada Test Site Mark 9 Gun Weapon The Atomic Cannon, at 280 mm, was the largest nuclear capable mobile artillery piece manufactured by the United States. On May 25, 1953, a 280 mm cannon fired an atomic projectile a distance of 7 miles at the Nevada Test Site. Twenty 280 mm cannons were manufactured. None were used in battle.
Epic. O.O
Nuke beta testing is dangerous, as those piles of rubble that were once trees, houses, buses and other stuff know.
