Sedan Nuclear Test- Original Military Film

[lizzym3]

My mom was a child in NE Iowa when this happened. She has the thyroid issues to prove it...

'Merica!

[StgMonkey]

lol my teacher was showing us this vid

[Selbst93]

@StgMonkey This same vid???

[StgMonkey]

@Selbst93 yeah

[Selbst93]

@StgMonkey your teacher is awesome

[StgMonkey]

@Selbst93 yes I agree :D

[McGby128]

area 51 FTW

[13fridayMAY]

the hills have eyes

[Selbst93]

@13fridayMAY orly?

[13fridayMAY]

@Selbst93 nah im just joking :p but in those movies are also nuclear tests and stuff..people got deformed, mental problems...so they live in the hills and hunt people down, you should watch those movies they are awesome!

[Selbst93]

@13fridayMAY I know lol, i got the reference :D

All the mental deformed people live underground in the american southeast :D

[13fridayMAY]

@Selbst93 ok XD hahaha yeah :)

[lyrksalot]

Wow. The slow-mo on that is jaw-dropping. The earth just rips apart and burps fire. Magnificently horrifying. Thanks for sharing.

Sedan bomb, Detonated 10:00 AM 140kt bomb detonated 2000 M.s under ground.

[CrudeDude]

@uglymoon78 The device was detonated @636 feet , not 2000 meters.

[7211woodie]

google earth: 37°10'39.18"N 116° 2'44.26"V ="sedan crater" (area 51)

[Selbst93]

@7211woodie really??

[7211woodie]

@Selbst93 yes..search area 51/groom lake..then look to the west..there is nevada test site..lot´s of craters and other fun stuff if u look closely.. but anyway,"sedan" is located at the north end of the test site..hard to miss..

[lmlove80]

@7211woodie Actually, ot was conducted in Area 10, better known as Yucca flat, not area 51. Its pretty close to area 51 tho

[StellarBlue1]

The Storax/Sedan crater is the most easily recognizable of all nuclear test craters in Nevada. Gee, are they giving tours of the Nevada Atomic Test Area? Count me out.

[IsaacSloan]

America dropped 2 bombs on Japan and 1,021 on Nevada. I guess it isn't surprising that St. George, Utah has more background radiation and unburned Plutonium than ground zero of both Nagasaki and Hiroshima. All I can say is "WTF?" Is anyone with me on this?

[TheGamer816]

OMG I WANT ONE OF THOSE

[Zyworski]

Atmospheric testing was abandoned for good reason, strontium 90 is an insidious isotope that mimic calcium allowing it to embed in the body and wreak havoc. In hindsight many of the reasons behind these tests were silly, the scientist were just playing around, and the DOD just wanted to spend money.

[liamboltonboy]

u sound like a lonley fuker cos u need someone to tell u dat ur important WANKER

[danlovesnan]

ok, but air "goes around"...the Cernobyl disaster in Russia caused lot of radiations all over Europe: don't you think that this atomic explosion caused a large radioactive contamination for at least 1000 sqare miles?

[noladol]

My dog(no, my actual dog) and I are watching this video for educational purposes.

You are important. <3

[Selbst93]

@noladol What a very eager to learn dog :D

thanks for this i hope you enjoyed the video

[danlovesnan]

..aren't people that live close to there in danger? I mean at least during the years that followed the explosion? Radioactivity? maybe?

[kevincanary]

Yes, but nobodys live there. The villague more near is Rachel, and it is 37 miles.

[danlovesnan]

@kevincanary

the Cernobyl explosion in 1886 contaminated all Europe...so I guess that 37 miles aren't enough.

[kevincanary]

No, 37 miles arent anough, but are 37 miles from a little little little little villague, so sure it doesnt mind to the people who does it, and this is in Nellis Air Force Range, so they can do this, Chernobyl wasnt controlate, and i think it yes.

[Selbst93]

@kevincanary The radioactive dust still wafted throughtout the united statews

[kevincanary]

-Dangeorus-

[Kerithanos]

@danlovesnan You have to understand that the human body can take a lot of radiation without any side effects. There's radium in Brazil nuts, but you can eat them all your life without any negative effects. So, yes, many people were exposed to the radiation, as the fallout blew across the US. But no one was effected by it, because the amount of radiation they took in was negligible.

[staralfur007]

@Kerithanos You can't be serius about that. It's true that we're exposed to radiation everyday, everywhere, but you can't compare it to the nature of this kind of explosions, and the proof is that no-one had a lot of knowledge about the consequences of the exposure of the population to this... I may not be an expert but i rather live in a nuclear-weapon-free world than living in where this type of experiments are done.

[Kerithanos]

@staralfur007 Look, if you can find an example of any civilian in the United States who has died from a nuclear test, as far as I am concerned you have won the argument. But I know of no such person.

[Kerithanos]

@staralfur007 I know it would be nice to live in a weapon-free world. But, the thing is, the enemy will have weapons whether we do or not. We can't create a permanent peace, so the best thing we can do is be ready to defend ourselves. In fact, without nuclear deterrence, we likely would have fought a war against the Soviet Union, costing billions of dollars and millions of lives.

[IsaacSloan]

@Kerithanos Really? Tell that to the people who died from radiation poisoning in St George Utah or Japan.

[Kerithanos]

@IsaacSloan Well, Japan was kind of on purpose, you know. And the only radiation poisoning St. George experienced was a small increase in cancer rates. Honestly, considering nuclear weapons (and thus the threat of MAD) prevented the third world war, I think it was worth it.

[Josephthecrazyguy]

@Kerithanos The bombing of Japan was talked about widely before the bombs were dropped and after seeing the Trinity test it feared the governments more. So it was either a choice between invading Japan or dropping the bombs. They thought tht invading would take more lives and extend the war, so in the end the bombs were dropped. I also heard tht the U.S. bluffed saying tht we had more bombs and would drop them (even though e didnt) but I just heard tht idk if thts true about the bluff part

[Kerithanos]

@Josephthecrazyguy I think we were building more bombs, but its a good thing they surrendered after two, because if I remember right the next one wouldn't be ready for like a couple weeks.

[Josephthecrazyguy]

@Kerithanos yea but where would we drop tht one oh yea we werent gonna bomb nagasaki we were gonna bomb some other city i forgot the name but yea heavy fog made us switch citys

[CrudeDude]

@Kerithanos A "small increase in cancer rates"? You better do a little research.......

[tuttt99]

@danlovesnan

The site is deep within the confines of the Nevada Test Site, a large uninhabited area within a larger government reservation, which also includes Nellis Air Force Base and the famed "Area 51". So no.

[IsaacSloan]

@tuttt99 You've got to be kidding. This experiment exposed over 7% of US citizens to harmful radiation. Just google it. Wikipedia has a good article.

[DecommMan]

It's cool - I have been there.

[xscreamoxemox]

XD this soooooo kewl!!! i love it!!! woooo! mushroom clouds xD badass ^vv^ <3

[emanchildofwrath]

How can we still believe in "angels in the hearts of men"?

[Selbst93]

What do you mean by that?
