Nuclear Explosion HD

[SexyCrazyINC]

Whenever i see video's like this of nuclear bomb explosions im always curious about how the camera's filming do not get obliterated along with the rest of the landscape?!

[xlukatsx]

cool now lets test it with the human kind

[studiorobo]

Kaboom, and the everything is gone.

[RootofYishay]

the true jericho missile

[townofmianus]

Bam and the dirt is gone!

[xBABYxKICKERx]

how did the cameras survive?

[davidlay561]

dont know if this is real but there was a gun similar to this but the problem was if couldn't fire the bomb far enough to keep it from blowin up the gun

[iiKiieraNx]

the only things known to survive a nuclear explosions...and chuck norris.

[RaoulEmilian]

This video is soo interesting!

[harkonnen554]

Why the fuck did they put animals there?They already knew what a nuclear explosion did to living things ;/ That just shows how barbaric we really are.

[Megatallica83]

Dude that shit was INSANE!!!

[iwillkillgaia]

this video needs more goregrind

[tjmickquickeldickel]

"I hope Johnny loaded this right". Incredibly eerie.

[korravir]

the M65 is not only for Atomic Ammo.....u can use it as normal artillery too.....30 km range...i think there are still some of this babies in some armies

[Basilili]

Yeah, the reason why it couldn't be implemented was because it couldn't fire the shell far enough away from the canon without also giving the attacking force a healthy 'glow'.

[Malfaxi]

For merely one second in the sea of time... it shined as bright as the sun.... but deep inside, we all knew its purpose wasn't to bestow and gift us with life....

[LordGeorgeRodney]

mmmm BBQ dog!

1:12 m

[nuttex]

@LordGeorgeRodney Weren't those pigs?

[Npeo]

The cameras were encased in boxes surrounded by 2 1/2 inched of lead as to avoid the film being radiated. The poles were 16 feet high so that the shockwave wouldn't throw dust into the camera's vision. Dust still blinded the cameras, but at least they were able to see the damage that they hoped for. Everything was sandblasted so that the paint didn't burn off and bilnd the camera. This shot was only 15 kilotons so it wasn't too bad.

[jpongsin2002]

very close to plumbob priscilla at 1:46

[thetrolone]

The reason for this was a really dumb stupid dog (similar to obamas dog) ran off with a near by army base commanders favorite reading glasses. Being really and absolutely mega pissed and totally pumped (you'd definitely crap your pants if you knew how much) at the shear gall of the animal he decided to nuke the nearby valley the dog ran off to. If you watch the pixel (at 300,250) at 1:05, that is the dog vaporising. Of course the base commander was the uncle of Chuck Norris.

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@thetrolone

1:05?!

That is truck being singed by the nuke!

[WankstaProductions]

how did the cameras stay still?

[Npeo]

@WankstaProductions the cameras were basically cemented down to the ground. Guy-wires kept the camera mounts still.

[Black7Cloud]

@WankstaProductions Chuck norris was holding it.

[gateway833]

holy shit

[Rock1213]

What comes in minute 1:21

[RiOtEmpire777]

shockwave before the blast :)

[charlesvan13]

They should use these on the Taliban. It doesn't produce any greenhouse gasses like a chemical bomb.

[Npeo]

Most of the shots are from "Upshot-Knothole Grable" However;

1:12 is from Plumbob Priscilla with pigs in the cages,

1:14 is from Ranger Able. Notice the Mushroom cloud really close.

1:16 is from Encore.

This clip is from "Trinity & Beyond" Directed by Peter Kuran. If you don't own the movie, it is a really great movie, along with some of his other movies, like Atomic Journeys.

[SpongeSquarePantsBob]

@Npeo thats awful, with the pigs in cages, im sorry, thats just terreble

[Npeo]

@SpongeSquarePantsBob oh god yes. There is a video, Priscilla Pigs, Not exactly sure what its called, but you get 2 see them up close, and u hear them squealing and all, Very creepy, disturbing, and above all, inhumane.

[varnai]

:o those men behind the cameras at the end of the clip. aren't they gonna die of radiation poisononig? :o

[shishiromura]

@varnai Well a lot of the people that were on these projects did die of cancer and other radiation sideffects.

[Schmatko89]

Not directly. They were far away enough to survive a direct hit so to say. Of course they got a lot of radiation, but the effects appeared later.

Its the same with the victims of Hiroshima. Some died immediately, some weeks later, some years later.

It always depends on how much radiation is spread into the area and what kind of radioactive material is used.

[Ranzear]

Its only very inefficient nuclear weapons that produce large amounts of radiation when detonated at altitude. The devices detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were particularly inefficent and spread their unspent nuclear fuel all over the surrounding area. Its in the best interest of both yield (how big a boom) and leftover radioactive material to produce the most /efficient/ explosion possible, not necessarily the biggest one.

[Ranzear]

Many of the later one-megaton+ devices used less material than the Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki, and simply fissioned it in more efficient ways and thus produce far less radiation. Its the unfissioned leftovers that create a radioactive contamination issue, whereas the Grable shot in this video was far along into efficiency developments that the fallout dissipated in tens of years instead of hundreds.

[Npeo]

@varnai no, they will not die by radiation poisoning. Most are still alive.

[MagicJigPipe]

@varnai, no. There are many misconceptions about nuclear weapons and the physics that govern their effects. It would make me happy if you would go read up on it. It is my goal to help destroy these rampant misconceptions.

If you have any questions just ask.

[HCDDWarhero]

the explsion itself sint fake but the aftersceenes are.

[hilers72652]

the afterscenes are real, just from a different test

[HCDDWarhero]

when was this and why dont we use these anymore?

[Npeo]

This bomb in particular was detonated on May 23, 1953 at 8:30 in the morning. We don't use these anymore because of the nuclear ban treaty of 1971

[ALEXISoPALIAKOS]

thats the power of nuclear shell fired from a cannon with power of 15 kilotons imagine the 1 megaton missile damage

[Rude616]

15 FUCKING KILOTONS?!

that's MASSIVE :s

[super911fernando]

The tsar bomba was like 50 Megatons lol. Now that woulda been a boom.

[ErtyDaSwe]

Well, it was cut down 41.3% in nuclear power from the original design. Or else it would cause massive nuclear fallout on Scandinavia and other West-Europian countries.

If this was nuclear war, they would use the full 100 megaton bomb. THAT is a boom!

[Npeo]

@Rude616| it was massive. The thing that makes it worse was the precursor to the shockwave.

[poitertoip]

lol its not small :D

[akhenatten]

Not fake, I've seen this footage before years ago. The gun was called "Atomic Annie" and was decommissioned shortly after it was built. The military saw no practical use for it, but they could've thought of that before they built it.

[lopidum]

wow realy epic, this not good nobody shuld have atom bombs , they are bad :(

[bleachrules103]

Un-holy hell...

[Fredfredbug4]

Lol it looked awesome in HD

[Asiangeezus]

amazing, any idea on how they got the footage?

[Npeo]

@Asiangeezus| the footage is great. What's even more amazing is the whole process of how we get to see it today. Look at it this way. First of all, what you see is what actually made it though the blast. Then you have to go through the footage that was too radiated to see. Then the footage that they didn't throw out. And this footage is just the stuff that Peter Kuran actually restored. It's the process of elimination.
