USA nuclear test : Operation Dominic Sunset

[Bugattiveyronss1000]

this is my favrite nuclear bomb besides the 50 MT russian tsar bomb but still lets go america

[sirkerogwapo]

B-83?



[Jaggerjack466]

Chuck Norris had an accident again...

[clydeyello]

Nowadays, the B-83 Nuclear Unguided Bomb has a yeld of 1.2 megatons. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that an F-15 can carry six of those hellbringers.

[TaylorJ415]

It's so beautiful..... I wish I was there feeling that great warmth. We have become a sick and twisted nation

[RetardGenius]

awesome. now can i see it done over beijing?

[TaylorJ415]

@RetardGenius Indeed, do it before we become the United States of China

[ExczSanityz]

Imagine Kim Jong-Il taking a cup of tea and some cookies watching this amazing sunset at the balcony of his house.

I think... i have seen the eyes of god..

[Smarty187Productions]

Nuclear weapons are fascinating in a lot of ways: how they work, the smoke they produce. They are also the freaking scariest things ever.

[revolutionman81]

@Smarty187Productions Basically all of the tests are their own unique massive science experiments rather than "weapons". Amazing.

[behemuth]

hory sheet! thats one sexy boom

[MrBobsrevenge]

whats bigger domonic sunset or tsar bomba

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@MrBobsrevenge This was one megaton, Tsar Bomba was 58 megatons.

[MrBobsrevenge]

@AnimeFanatic5602 wow so a big differenece how come we cant make a bomb bigger then taht?

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@MrBobsrevenge Tsar bomba was the largest nuclear weapon ever produced. It was a scaled down version of a 100 megaton design. Despite this, it was totally impractical as a weapon of war. Not only was it far too powerful to be realistically useful, but from what I've heard most of the energy just went straight up into outer space.

[MrBobsrevenge]

@AnimeFanatic5602 wow outer space when did they make this bomb? why is it so powerful to be ever be used. would it just wipe out a continant or something?

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@MrBobsrevenge If you do a search for "Tsar Bomba," it'll lead you to documentaries that can explain it a lot better than me, but it was so powerful that it would totally eradicate whatever you used it on; there'd be nothing left to take over. Basically, it would totally destroy everything within a 15 mile radius, and cause third degree burns within a 64 mile radius. It was more of a political statement than an effective weapon of war.

USAF USA "Operation Dominic Sunset"

[mike520012]

If there were people there that would probably be the sunset of thier lives

[SixtySky987]

new sun

[thatkid0000able]

no kidding when they name the bomb "sunset" that would be the end of days if it was used on us

[nameno1elsehas]

psh that's nothing compared to what I did to the toilet yesterday

[hans1066]

@nameno1elsehas

yeah sounds like u're a shithead anyway...

[nameno1elsehas]

@hans1066 Man, it's like you've known me for so long! You have such a deep understanding of my inner psyche based on a single comment I made a year ago. Your conclusion of me being a "shithead" is so spot on, I think you deserve a cookie. I hope it cheered you up Mr. Grumpy-pouts.

[TaylorJ415]

@nameno1elsehas fuck you

[nameno1elsehas]

@TaylorJ415 :P

[TaylorJ415]

@nameno1elsehas ok, you're not as crazy as I thought. God bless and good night :) Seriously, I meant that. :)

[nameno1elsehas]

@TaylorJ415 alright, you too

[AmiralSAS]

[icemangtr1]

@POTATOESLOL hehe cod mw2 online heheh!

[affei1]

@POTATOESLOL

Lol Pwned 24 he got hardliner on XD

[renrules686]

this is too fuckin much

[wowdanalise]

If only nuclear weapons were not so dangerous over the long term, I would love to see them detonated daily so that i may appreciate their serene but undoubtedly exhilarating beauty.

[dnebdal]

Heh, I've long thought they should fire off one every five or ten years or so and invite people to come watch ... just for the sheer spectacle of it. :)

[cnadr]

ITS BEAUTIFUL!!! lol

[Psycho0xX]

awful

[difstoffe]

the consequences from a nuclear bomb is that your guts and stuff inside you gets rodden from the inside and they comes out from your... ass

[maddox900]

i love nukes lol =D

[mjkjsa]

Everyone on the planet will get cancer from that one!

[a180589]

Oh goodness yes- unprotected eyes at the distance from which this was taken would be blinded instantly. I am surprised and a bit alarmed that this isn't common knowledge. This is a magnificent video, and I think we should watch videos like this as many times as it takes to rid us of the absurd idea that there is such a thing as a winnable nuclear exchange. We are all still alive because nuclear weapons are so unimaginably horrifying that their use is a strategic impossibility.

[shrapnel6666]

@a180589 Get fucked hippie...

[nmfnmompso]

@a180589

Well intentioned, but it's not true at all i'm affraid. There is such thing as a limited and winnable nuclear war, and there use is strategically possible. I'm not going into a debate on youtube, but I have a Masters in Nuclear Strategy and can direct you to - Herman Kahn's On Thermonuclear War, and Bernard Brodies books, and Laurence Freedman Evolution of Nuclear Strategy, for starters. Nuclear Strategy is a very complex subject.

[nmfnmompso]

@nmfnmompso

and before anyone says, I have used there/their incorrectly x

The point is that nuclear strategy is a evolving and very complex subject, and it's not as simple as to think that the idea of a winnible war as absurd. War hasn't taken place with nuclear weapons because of a complex number of factors, primarily due to the skills of nuclear and/or miltary strategists and political scientists.

@a180589 You, sir, just won the Awesome Person 2010 Award.

[hans1066]

@a180589

well they also only serve as a last resort... that's why cold war "worked" and Israel is quite save...

somehow it makes sense

[wingzero890]

Brighter than the sun.

[AnotherStupidGamer]

There goes our Ozone layer

[dnebdal]

I don't think that's the greatest risk from this.

Now, it might well break down some ozone (I wouldn't be surprised if the heat breaks up the O3 molecules and they mainly settle as O2 when things cool down), but that's a one-shot thing, and will eventually replenish. Less worrying than the chemicals that catalyse ozone breakdown without being spent themselves.

The amount of radioactives (and direct radiation in the vicinity) is more of a concern. :)

(But ah, to see a test shot...)

[SweatyGamerz]

@dnebdal Shut up

[dnebdal]

@SweatyGamerz

Hmm? I'll consider it if I get a reason.

[123eldest]

lol seriously?

[wingzero890]

Why do you think the sky goes dark in these videos? The camera is adjusting to the brightness because its outshining the sun.

[123eldest]

Because it's at night? Dominic sunset took place at 16:33 GMT on Christmas Island so there it would have been 7 hours later - 23:33 GMT.
