WW II : RARE COLOR FILM : LOS ALAMOS : 1ST NUCLEAR BOMB

[MrXxblade19xx]

I live in New Mexico..

[withholeyshoes1]

"Good people"

[withholeyshoes1]

@withholeyshoes1 .... good people, puppets...I understand why Russel told Tesla to bury it.

[platypusblue]

Idiots blame the USA for all the worlds problems. For sure the USA is far from perfect, they have made some monumental screw ups since World War II by getting bogged down in unwinnable wars in Vietnam & Afghanistan, for sure they gave the Mujahideen weapons in 1980's to fight the USSR who some of them then became the Taliban & Al Qaeda, they George W Bush 2 terms(WTF) & removed a democratically elected Iranian leader in 1953 which eventual gave rise to the Mullahs in 1979.

[platypusblue]

Continued.... But thank GOD it was the United States of America who invented the Atomic bomb first. Because had it been the NAZI's or the SOVIET's who had a monopoly on that evil weapon. We would be living in a very dark world today.

[AgentPopcornGirl]

i think it's funny how Los Alamos and Alamogordo aren't mentioned :D

and the information in this video is crap.... just sayin.... besides Oppenheimer, he was pretty cool :)

[MrXxblade19xx]

@AgentPopcornGirl it is mentioned and los Alamos is Alamogordo.

[puncheex]

The Manhattan Project was the construction of the bomb. The test in Alamagordo was Operation Trinity; according to everyone I have consulted, it had no particular meaning. The bomb was named The Gadget. The operational side of the Manhatten Project, the delivery of the bombs, was Project Alberta.

[noodles112123]

idk but what i thought is they call it that (trinity) cos there was 3 of them - the gadge (the prototype if u can call it), littleboy and fatman.

the site was called trinity but not the title of the operation or project. i think it was called the manhattan project??!!

if i have anything wrong then message me back or whatever.

[stressycow09]

no it dosent i looked 4 times it dont look like einstien at all

[Slecker95]

I've been looking around to find a complete DVD box set of the military channels "WWII in Color," for my dads B-day but haven't found what I"m looking for.

If anyone has any information of what it's called or where I could buy it it would be much appreciated.

[bethpage89]

0:34 to 0:43

That isn't the device--nor a container for it.

[rerevisionist]

It seems likely the whole thing was a fake.

[soverato3]

but will it blend???

[hr1100]

@soverato3 Oh, how magnificently original.

[soverato3]

@hr1100 yes i thought the same about it ;D

[rampantandroid]

Mars, the Bringer of war. Perfect choice.

[nholt]

@2:22 you can see the face of the Devil.

[Proctomancer]

There is some confusion, probably owing to the strict secrecy around the project and subsequent developments, but it seems likely that the plutonium implosion device design was called "Fat Man", and the uranium gun weapon was called "Little Boy". The former design was the one detonated in the Trinity test and over Nagasaki.

[theghostofmw2]

first? No...

[josh1gdc1]

fuck this im staying in vault 101

[Skandalos]

1. fake sound added to atomic explosions just sucks

2. the German place is called Peenemünde, not Panamonda.

other than that, again a great upload,

[33dgtp]

OMFG!!! IT DOES LOOK LIKE EINSTEIN!!!

[clintonearlwalker]

I just read on Wikipedia that the code name for this test was "Trinity" and the informal nickname was "gadget". It was not a strictly "fat man" type device, but they were very similar, although both were one off prototypes. Both "fat man" and "trinity" were plutonium implosion devices with a neutron initiator in side the softball sized pu pit. "Little boy" was a gun type uranium device that was never tested because of the small amount of uranium available, and scientist confidence.

[empzakath]

Correct. This wasn't 'Fat Man' - that was the implosion device dropped on Nagasaki. This was 'The Gadget' which formed the Trinity Test.

[Pujc]

ez az :) Mindent a gyilkolás nevében :)

[arkfussion]

atomic face at 2:22

[Hperman09]

@mostkedi hahahah you mist be mental. Go around saying "Fuck USA" just bring you down to the lower level.

[rationalegoist90]

lol @ all the masking tape

[Sidslotm]

I suppose if the Germans did create an A bomb, the British would have been the first to know about it, humans r crazy.

[icanmyshoetie]

If you've been out to White sands it pretty neat. you can walk up directly to wear the bomb detonated.

[brian4480]

@HumanTarget83 Italy...bleh...in 1945 you were nazi bleh

[juliesfar]

The sciencetist went: " Oh, it actually worked."

[55mandreck]

EIENSTIEN IS A FRAUD HE STOLE HIS EQUASION - THEORY OF RELATIVITY- !"!""""

E= mc2 was published at least twice before he claimed it !!! - sounds unbelievable to you???? then check out David Icke -website and learn the truth about many things that have been covered up - peace love and TRUTH x

[loliamapie]

@mostkedi Japan killed more in china...

[loliamapie]

@mostkedi

yup japanese killed more civilians in WW2 like tin china....

[chilidress]

well i agree with nazis for killing the judes

now judes (massons illuminati ) control the world destroying it with their way

but of course i would prefer a world without all these but like tesla's world

[LottoWinner999]

@chilidress I did not know they let Mulsim Diaperheads in Greece when did you arrive?

[Cnupoc]

2:23 who's face is this in the mushroom cloud ? O_o

[RALPHLAURINO]

@Cnupoc Some say it looks like Einstein.

[hunter2834]

@Cnupoc that is einstein lol those japs got einstein to the face that sounded really mean well they did start the war we just blew their asses up

[marjis3]

mave.foorumi.eu

[lordofthepies7]

I saw it too.

[GoNmanne11]

@Cnupoc popeye

[arschfikker]

@Cnupoc he´s obviously giving us the finger, whoever he is!

[cherilynmonroe]

@Cnupoc Probably the Golum infant they put inside it..think I'm kidding, do some research, we live in an evil world..so sad.

[Cnupoc]

@cherilynmonroe wow you have an awesome smile <3

[supressorgrid]

@Cnupoc Obama's?

[datboysha40]

@Cnupoc Man that face looked like Einstein....creepy!

[bassvid1]

This footage has been available for years. Not a bad transfer, but the transfer colorimetry (too saturated) and exposure (contrast/brightness) needed more work. Then there are the aforementioned facts.

[ThePivotAlex]

@mostkedi Japan killed more

[Fred111000]

No wonder the hills have eyes.

[mlb0226]

2:23 The prez's face... oh my...

[ATHEISTATOM]

LOL...the guy wrote some religious tirade in the description

[santiago811]

the germans build rockets at peenemunde and did a lot of research but the were never even close to an atomic weapon as suggested in this video.

[pbail1]

HA, "Ropert Oppenheimer"?? LOL, I missed that one. Geeeesh!! :-\

[TheRadar77]

I read once that men had to gaurd the bomb in the tower the night before the test. A meteorologist predicted a storm system moving in that night. The brass said he was full of it. That night a thunderstorm came in and the desert was alive with lightening. Could you imagine sitting in a steel tower next to an a-bomb watching lightening strikes all night? Holy crap.

[Wallmersbacher]

Einstein didn't want to create a bomb that the US Military would use, he wanted to show the possibillities given by his studies.

[smellytoilet1996]

but if they were testing an atomic bomb is the New Mexico desert isn't it still radioactive? and after they had exploded it didn't the ambient towns receive radioactive rain? I mean there may be a very little amount of rain in the desert but it could have happened,couldn't it?

[ralucagymnast]

@smellytoilet1996 Yes indeed, parts are still radioactive today.

[TheRadar77]

@smellytoilet1996 That's a good question. You'ld think so but Hiroshima and Nagasaki are busy cities still. The radioactive debris rained down in the form of black water and many residents drank it up. This resulted in horrible radiation sickness. If you tour the Nevada test site near Las Vegas the UVA and UVB from the sun are more dangerous than the soil you're walking on. Or so i think.

[DJSbros]

Thats the beggining of the end

[bassvid1]

Nice HD transfer, but the color balance needs some work. Looks like the National Archives finally is making HD through one of the vendors.

[DoubleDutchBust]

1:06

AOF

[trina252]

2.23 a face in the explosion lol

[KinRWS]

@trina252

it's gods face smashed into pieces^^

[kildesamling]

Amazing! I never before heard of the Atomic Bum! Who is this buffoon of a speaker?

[rrigon]

idiot end....

[0xMaster]

The letter from Leo Szilard that Einstein signed did not result in the full scale Manhattan project. It took another two years, some inquiries from the British on how the work went on, and Pearl Harbor to start the real work.

[pbail1]

@moleratical - Haha, thanks for helping out! :) P.S. The first *test* was actually "Trinity" (the bomb was called "The Gadget"). ;)

[moleratical]

@pbail1

yea, thats what I meant, I actually didn't know that the bomb even had a name.

[pbail1]

@moleratical - Actually, I don't think it had an *official* name. If I remember right, "The Gadget" was just a nickname.

[niceguy7183]

so many people died in japan

WHY USA WHY U COULDVE JUST SENT MORE INFANTRY INSTEAD IF KILLING SMALL JAPENSE CHILDREN

ps im english

[bengacris]

and more us to get kill? nice

[vigo894]

Because it would have been a bloodbath. Most of us would have never been born, including you, because our grandfathers would have died in the conflict. The war would have lasted another year. Eventually, Russia would have intervened. The Japanese people would have been wiped out, down to the last man. Or Japan would have been divided, just like Germany. A communist North, and a Democratic South. And remember, Russia was already working on their own bomb.

[301001082]

@niceguy7183 would you rather a jap stick you with a knife.. or your children (if any) you ar a nob end,

[niceguy7183]

301001082 shut up fag

[301001082]

@niceguy7183 the bomb actually saved lives, do you contradict yourself regularly?

[lewisner]

Great film. Fat Man LOOKED scarey with all those wires sticking out of it.

[pbail1]

Wow, this contains a whole lot of errors!!

[latinoheat361]

@pbail1 whatever you do don't tell us what they are!!!

[moleratical]

let me help with this

1 fat man was the name of the bomb dropped on hiroshima not the original test bomb

2 Germany had officially surrendered on may 8th 1945, the first atomic bomb test at los alamos was july 16th 1945

3 i wasn't really paying attention so considering that these two common knowledge details were wrong, there are probably more errors but I can't bring myself to listen to this fool narrator who apparently doesn't know what the word research means. So forgive me if I missed a few

[moleratical]

oh I just remembered another thing, the first bomb was called trinity

[latinoheat361]

@moleratical uh..no little boy was the bomb dropped on hiroshima. fat man was nagasaki

[moleratical]

@latinoheat361

oops, I actually knew that, considering that I was ragging on the narrator for careless errors I probably should have proofread my own response.

Hahaha, I guess I should be a little more careful as well.

[amoskowitz0103]

@pbail1 It seems like no one cares much about the facts anymore, doesn't it?

[gblpst81]

@pbail1 Yeah, like "Ropert Oppenheimer" and plenty of others

[Daemonique]

@pbail1 And is it a wonder? Just read the load of BS in the description... this video wasn't made to inform about history and science but just to spread the BS in the description which proves that the uploader is an enemy of science.

[Johngtr13]

The bomb is our friend. It keeps the peace.

[JoeyChernov]

The threat of Nuclear annihalation (Or MAD) is the reason, IMHO mind you, that the world has yet to use Atomic Weapons in another conflict. No one wants to be the person who says "Nuke'm" and thus destroying the world. In a very odd, almost twisted sense, the Bomb does keep us at peace, but only at Nuclear Weapon peace.

[Sierra117Hunter]

Humanity needs to be destroyed lol, Nuke em

[latinoheat361]

@Johngtr13 so true!

[Destroyer0fWorlds]

WOW

[Antharis79]

1:42 "nicknamed Fat-Man"

But thats wrong! "Fat-Man" was the implosion bomb dropped on Nagasaki 8-9-1945. This Test-Device detonated 7-16-1945 was nicknamed "The Gadget".

[pbail1]

@Antharis79 Wow, what a basic thing to get wrong, eh?

[301001082]

@Antharis79 but neither were implosion, both were explosion, implosion was invented 2 years after nagasaki

[Antharis79]

@301001082

No. "The Gadget", as well as the "Fat Man" indeed used an implosion design by using a sphere of Pu-239, 9,2 cm in diameter with a 2,5 cm cavity in the center for the neutron initiator. The critical mass was achieved by compressing the sphere with conventional imploding lenses. The Fat Man bomb used an identical design. The "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima used the so-called "Gun-design" where two subcritical uraniumparts were shot together to get the critical mass.

[301001082]

@Antharis79 but the implosion wasn't nuclear, relatively negligible

conventional implosion to start the nuclear explosion

the "nuclear implosion" and "relative implosion" device was achieved after, output increased by orders

[Antharis79]

@301001082

But that was it what I meant when I said "implosion bomb" in my initial post - the conventional implosion design...

If you mean the radiation-implosion design also known as "Teller-Ulam" which is used in two or three-staged H-bombs then you are right. That was invented a couple of years later. ;-)

[puncheex]

@301001082: All plutonium weapons have to be implosion devices; no other method of creating a critical mass is fast enough, due to Pu240 contamination (it shoots neutrons all teh time, and thus causes premature detonation when the build is too slow). I think you're thinking of the levitated core, an improvement in the Mark 4 implosion bomb.

[norscience]

@Antharis79 Its informal name was "The Gadget", but its code name was Trinity, which is the name most people refer to it with.

[kokosDNA]

@Antharis79 it was also nicknamed "Trinity"

[SnakeDoctorSilver]

@Antharis79, I know, but I know someone who worked on the bomb, and he said the test was called the Fat-Man too. I have clue, maybe they named it the same twice?

[noodles112123]

@Antharis79 you mean TRINITY!?!?

[Antharis79]

@noodles112123 "Trinity" was the name for the test and "The Gadget" was the name for the device.

[noodles112123]

@Antharis79 o okay i kinda had a clue so thanks for clearing that up for me.. now i don't need to research it cos i think you ARE telling the TRUTH

[lorddartagnan]

@Antharis79 Actually, the device detonated for the Trinity test on July 16 was code named "Big Brother". It was a uranium powered explosive, as was "Fat Man", the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. "Little Boy" was the plutonium powered explosive that was dropped on Nagasaki.

[Antharis79]

@lorddartagnan

That's not correct sorry, look it up, please. "Fat Man" was an exact facsimile of "The Gadget" and it's core was made of Plutonium-239 with an implosion initiation. "Little Boy" was the U-235 bomb dropped on Hiroshima initiating with the gun-assembly method.

[lorddartagnan]

@Antharis79 You're right and I stand corrected. I had "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" backwards. Little Boy was a uranium device dropped on Hiroshima and Fat Man was the plutonium device dropped on Nagasaki. And yes, "The Gadget" was the code name for the Trinity bomb. :)

[andywarh0l]

You saw a face and you saw a devil eh! I saw a McDonalds logo and george w's head!

[Hankextreme]

STOP AT 2:23 !!!

dO YOU SEE THE FACE?

[smigbabb]

oh shit i've seen this clip a few times but thats the first time i saw that!

[W3zZy95]

I saw it too when i first watched it my mate said i was paranoid lol

[andres6868]

hjahahah, yeah some of the clouds show a resemblance to a face

[ycuy]

looks like mt, rushmore minus three

[siperdellyeer]

WOW!!!

[kildesamling]

What absolute gibberish! If the author of the commentary had more than one fact right, I would gladly eat something I really don't like. - Meanwhile, Hitler's scientists were munching their favourite pastries, pity though, that theuy stopped in '44 and Germany was defeated before the Trinity test took place.

[irfankhankhalil]

yea look like einstein

[otoevst]

I also saw the letters DEVIL in the cloud.

I even saw a mushroom!!

[TheSlipperyNipple]

Shit, i saw a face in the mushroom at 2:23

[JoeLivinTheDream]

at 2:22 you can kinda see a face in the mushroom cloud or that could just be my faulty eyes

[manzilla86]

Hey, my nuclear chemistry professor was a worker at Los Alamos for a while. I put a blog entry up about what he taught us about antimatter, just look it up in the blog archive at Do-It-Yourself Einstein. Type diyeinstein into Google, it WILL be the first link!

[Meandmy6string]

Damn I miss los alamos. A really beautiful town. Definitely miss the jemez springs more though. :(

[chiknthief]

Joey---That was a fat man bomb at a place called Trinity site. I live here and I KNOW !!! Got it ? There was more than one fat man !!!

[djkinney]

@chiknthief Calm down. You are somewhat correct. There was no such thing as a "fat man bomb". Of course, you are referring to the MK-3, or "Mark 3" design known as "Fat Man" which was the specific name of the Nagasaki bomb, and which lent its name to the model series. Your internet attitude needs major adjustment, though. What an asshole. Does your mother realize that on the internet, you are a horrible person?

[JoeyChernov]

The device exploded at Alamagordo on 16 July 1945 was an Implosion Design atomic weapon, codenamed the Gadget. The Fat Man bomb was almost identical to the Gadget device, since both were Plutonium-based Implosion designs.

[JoeyChernov]

Actually, Fat Man was the name of the Atomic Device dropped on Nagasaki, which was the world's third Atomic Explosion. The First, the test shown here at Alamogordo New Mexico, was named Trinity, after the Religious Trio that Robert Oppenheimer was fond of from The Bhagavad-Gita

[djkinney]

@JoeyChernov The test was named trinity. The bomb itself was called "The Gadget" . . . .

[oacez100]

i live in los alamos, my dad works at the labs, they expiriment some weird shit out ther, i always hear bombs goin off 4 testing, I LOVE IT

[lookforme2012]

as the children in married with children would sa y

thanks dad

[nickandja]

kool

[krazygoatsucker]

2:19 and 2:22 you can sees a face in the cloud. Pause it

[SoyJESUCRISTO]

yes at two minutes & twoenty three seconds, i notice it also, and it looks like EINSTEIN

[soylentgreenb]

That's just pareidolia.

[Tinnguyen123]

eyy your right ahah 2:23.. to be exact.. it look like Einstein..

[GUITARISTm14]

hmm..I am pretty sure the first one wasn't fat man but I guess I could be wrong. either way these are both amazing and terrifying weapons.

[unohoo09]

Fat Man was the bomb dropped over Nagasaki, or Hiroshima, I can't remember. Fat Man and Little Boy were the first nuclear weapons used in war.

[darthroden]

And so far the only ones unohoo...or so we all pray.

[SyncThird]

fallout 3 has a weapon called fat man ..cool huh

[ghostypoptart]

The actualy bombing of "Fat man" was detonated over 1,500 above the ground to distribute the energy of the explosion over a great distance.

[3michaelsin]

wen the nuck is long op in ear the sjokvave wil be biger and mor wil bi destroys.

[xStalkerxx]

wtf was the point to get that up high? couldnt they just throw that shit into a pit , roll it over down there and detonate?

stupids

[dende145]

no they couldn't because they didnt k know what will happen..

[darthroden]

That's scary that they did not know what would happen when it detonated. They suspected and had all sorts of calculations....hell for all they knew it would have ignited the atmosphere or torn a hole in the ozone, or the fabric of space and created a black hole.

[dende145]

thats not the scary part.. the scary part is that people like me you and our fanilys got nothing to say, no one gives a fuck about our opinions and when i say no one Im talking about the man in power as they will do what they like test what they want to test and we want even have the chance to say no dont do it thats a bad idea that my friend is the scary part

[frankp7400]

The reason the put it up a very high tower is because the explotion would be greater at a certain height. If you place the bomb into a pit, most of the shock of the bomb would be absorbed in the ground.

[ElAviator72]

To minimize radioactive fallout, it is best to detonate an atomic weapon in the air, otherwise ground material gets sucked into the fission reaction and you end up with a radioactive mess that would be uninhabitable for centuries at ground zero. Both Fat Man and Little Boy were detonated in the air for this reason.

[gibblets17]

maybe because they need to test the range and power of it and they didn't have the tools we do today? u are very dumb aren't u?

[lukefasss]

i know i will sound like weirdo, but damn it rly forms face - 2:23

[dende145]

yea thats cool

[esmith4145]

It wasn't nicknamed "Fatman" it was nicknamed "Gadget" Fatman was the nickname of the Nagasaki Bomb...

[frankp7400]

Wrong! It was nicknamed "The device"

[quorkz]

"I think that it's interesting that the development of the Atomic Bomb and the discovery of LSD occured in the 20th century." LOL. So did the discovery of penicillin, the moon landing, the invention of Rogaine, the iPod, and a crapload of other things. Don't be daft.

[eblovessweets]

Fatman?! :L

[Nguli34689]

If I saw a Devil behind every bush, I would perhaps be a "true believer" who claims that just because I see what looks like a face in this mushroom cloud at 2:22 and 2:23, then it must be the face of the Devil. I just had a thought here: In the Book of the Law, Chapter II, verse 23, it says: "I am alone. There is no god where I am."Make any connection you want.  I think that it's interesting that the development of the Atomic Bomb and the discovery of LSD occured in the 20th century.

[halo3captian]

i no i saw a face 2

[ineedthering87]

LOL fatman

[allevian]

The Germans were never even close to a nuke.

Thanx god.

[futuramark]

@ ralph laurino...death suffering etc will all be solved once they truly understand genetics dna manipulation.they are already thinking that we have an internal clock that ages us and that we can stop this.i think its perfectly plausible to think so.since the human body works that way.obviuosly you want be immortal but im guessing you'd add up 20 to 30 years of life...then the organs would fail since time defeats everything. and we havent managed to stop time yet not even einstein managed that

[polemicbear]

Interesting video, dissapointing rant in the sidebar and odd focus on what looks kinda like a mishapen face in the mushroom cloud.

[zsjus79]

Nuclear weponds are againts the order of the universe.

[redneckboy387]

how?

[fluffy1931]

Sometimes you can see jesus inside my friends fridge behind the mayonaise and six pack of Pabst Blue Ribben.

[thomasuras]

thats enstines face in frame 2:23

[hokedo12]

wow

u guys are talking about the face in the middle?

[manceradeabajo]

I cant see the face!!

[Gamba2000]

If you pause it at 2:32 you can see a ram's skull in the cloud.

[metalforthewin]

It's at 2:23
