Probably the biggest unatomic explosion ever

[HDRCX550VE]

It's a huge fireball, yes, but it's nowhere near as powerful as something like a JDAM.

[Demock]

@HDRCX550VE what? this explosion was equal to about a one kiloton explosion. JDAMs, depending on the dumb bomb that they equip with JDAM system, are typically in a range of 500-2500 lbs, that size of bomb is nowhere near capable of causing this size of an explosion. this blast was nearing nuke territory

[HDRCX550VE]

@Demock I'm talking destructive power. This explosion has much more fuel than a JDAM but it can't release that energy fast enough to create a powerful shock wave. Just because it's a big fireball doesn't mean that it can compare to a fireball produced by something like TNT. Also, petrol can only perform well if it is mixed well with air to make a FAE like in an engine; this was not. Maybe you're getting this opinion from Hollywood. :p Also this was ~100000L, how could it compare to 1Kt?

[bechmann82]

probably not.......

[starv49]

the ship explosion at texas city tx was biger

[stuckinthecities]

leave the camera on for christ's sake!

[PaulIsDeadMissHim]

That was a stock explosion sound effect

[MajorJakobs]

Actually the largest non nuclear explosion ever is from the Father of All Bombs, a bomb amde by the russians in the mid 2000-2010 decade. Damn Russians, always making bigger bombs than us! >:C

[MarauderFitness22]

@MajorJakobs Yeh but they cannot hit the broad side of a farm with them. ours are smaller and hit the air vent on the roof.

[JumpyCamelSpider]

@MajorJakobs You mean besides the accident in Halifax harbor in 1917, right?

"OOH! DAT'S GUNNA' BE LOU'! O_O"

[TEAMREAPERAIRSOFT]

its called a MOAB bomb...400 yard radius it is the biggest non atomic bomb, not the biggest explosion, the biggest non atomic bomb, ever created

[SsgtGaz]

@TEAMREAPERAIRSOFT Mother Of All Bombs :

[ThwartedVillainy]

This isn't even close to the biggest non-atomic explosion on earth using man-made fuels. In 1989, two trains carrying gas collided in the Soviet Union and caused an explosion equal to 10 kilotons of TNT, more than 3 times bigger than the Halifax disaster that almost completely destroyed the city.

[OsmanForce]

Insane, Im watching this same episode in this moment 0_o

[kiminicooper1]

Why do video editors always have to add in explosion sounds. In the big explosion at the end, it's obvious that it takes ~10-seconds for the sound to get to them - and it does - but you also hear it "explode" right at the start. Amateurs.

[TheMohguy]

why? why? why? did they have to edit the explosion's sound in a studio did they think they were making it more epic well they wernt they were just screwing it up you can tell its edited cuz you hear the explosion before the shock wave reaches the camra in each clip and from the fire and the size of the shock waves you can definetly tell the REAL explosion audio's were way more loud and epic seriously leave the clips alone it saves time,film and effort it also makes them overall better!!

[UNFFwildcard]

What about Halifax disaster 1917?

[talkron300]

@UNFFwildcard what about the yellow stone eruption?

[GinTheHallow]

holly crap

[capilot]

Yeah, I gotta say those dubbed-in "explosion" sounds are annoying as hell.

[TheJohn7528]

probably not...

[timmytyphoon]

The media have a way of using the wrong words in alot of cases. I have seen media talking heads refer to APC's and Hummvees as "tanks" and the B-1B bomber as an attack plane. I have listened to them many times mispronounce words to the point of sounding stupid and I have heard supposed experts misstate the performance or specifications of things they were supposed "experts" in. Jamie Hyneman on Myth Busters recently said "one thousand feet" when he actualy meant one thousand yards.Editing fail.

[Ze3g0]

Tsar Bomba anyone?

[timmytyphoon]

I hate the fact that when they put these videos together they add sound effects so you dont actualy hear what the real blast sounded like. You just here the sound effects. It takes a while for the sound of those blasts to travel over a mile to the film crew and what they would have heard would have been some time after acualy seeing it. Hollywood sucks.

[TheMohguy]

@timmytyphoon yeah i can definetly tell the sound is fake the explosion sounds so stupid compaerd to its size it would have had some really massize roar to it if it were the real explosion sound

[iiSeantheprawNii]

@timmytyphoon u mean travel half a mile?

[timmytyphoon]

@iiSeantheprawNii Half a mile at sea level takes one second to travel 1,126 feet. A half mile is 2,640 feet. So if it was a half mile away it would have taken two seconds for the sound to reach the film crew. However, it looks more like the distance was considerably farther and had it been only a half mile away it most likely would have gravely injured the crew. I sugest that the distance is over a mile based on the car fleeing the first explosion.

[iiSeantheprawNii]

@timmytyphoon well i think it was half a mile away because it says they were half a mile away in the video... derp.

[shadowr434]

So not the biggest non nuclear explosion. Try a search on here.

[bcbole92]

Unatomic? Really?



[MrssPotatoDick]

cool guys don't look at explosions... so we all suck

[MASDERCHEEFOrigin]

anyone know when this happened?

[BanjoKazooieTeam]

@MASDERCHEEFOrigin 1997 when steve was chopping wood. He also missed a spot and chopped off his dick in 1997

[DdotTindall]

And thus one of Chuck Norris' nails was born

[bulletrain1591]

dang BOOM BOOM BOOM

[spacecadet35]

It's an amazing BLEVE, but is no where as big as the N1 when it blew up, not to mention the Hallifax explosion when several thousand tonnes of High Explosive munitions exploded. Still amazing though.

[blunder15]

whoops

[seniorlanteigne]

idiots

[JohnMinigun]

the 6 tons "cistern" flew over 1 km lol

[sachamun]

Pretty sure that was just the set of Terminator 2.

[JohnMinigun]

Sais UN ATOMIC no NUCLEAR THINGS !!!!!! for all who "see" larger .

[TutNuke]

I saw something worse , but I can't find it , it was so fucking bad you can't imagine

[Maeslin]

regarding volcanic eruptions; St Helens rated at about 24MT and Yellowstone was on average over 2500 times that. Consider that the previous Yellowstone eruptions sent over 600 _cubic miles_ of rock airborne and left the western US under 4' of ash. There's a reason the caldera is about 35 miles by 45 miles.

[phillipdogyface]

they tested a couple million tons of tnt to simulate a nuke... this is a fire cracker to it :P

[MaxGrindleTV]

@phillipdogyface No, thats the wrong way round. The nuke was equal to 250 mil tonnes of tnt. That was atomic.

[henryguitarhero]

WHAT THE FU- BOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! HHAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! UUUHHHAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Daniella600x]

0:12 IS THAT NAKED?!?!!??! á_á ??

[UpForDanceroid]

1:29 people running in front of fire with style :)

[actionjackson9000]

hahah you can hear the newscrew after the blast they're like "lets get the fuck outta here"

[Tamaslammer]

probably not the biggest unatomic explosion ever.

[tirnaog09]

The explosion at Krakatoa was heard half way around the world, beat this uh?

[trisnjok]

@tirnaog09 Krakatoa 200 Mt

[mohawkman881]

[nezpercenathan]

I wonder how this compares with the Texas City explosion in the 1940s ? Anyone got a clue?

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

@nezpercenathan Not even close. Because the video host has no idea what he is talking about. The Pepcon explosion, the Texas city explosion, and others are far larger accidents. And there have been a few very large blasts done on purpose as well. A bright flame does not mean lots of explosive power, this blast did not have much power.

[nezpercenathan]

@r0ck3tsm0k3 Thanks, that's what I thought. Went and read about Texas City, and it was felt up to 250 miles away, windows blown out 40 miles away, etc. 

[trisnjok]

@nezpercenathan Event Approximate yield

PEPCON disaster 1.0 kt

Port Chicago disaster 1.6-2.2 kt

Texas City Disaster 2.7-3.2 kt

Halifax Explosion 2.9 kt

Heligoland explosion 3.2 kt

Minor Scale and Misty Picture 4 kt

Fat Man 21 kt

Tsar Bomba 50,000 kt (50 Mt)

[nezpercenathan]

@trisnjok Thanks, I need to look a couple of these up, don't know anything about them. It verifies what I suspected, though, that the explosion seen here was not that big by comparison to events like Texas City, etc.

[junkdeal]

@nezpercenathan The single largest sub-atomic blast has been said to be the one-shot destruction of the Nazi submarine pens on the North Atlantic after WWII. Nova Scotia (Halifax) had a ship blast bigger than the Grandcamp at Texas City. An ammo load in about 1918. Also, our Government set off piles of TNT in simulations of atomic blasts that may have actually have been the biggest ever. Pinatubo volcano (1816?)probably was the biggest of any blast of any kind.

[konman001]

I wonder how they would rate Volcanic eruptions on kiloton scale?

Supposedly there is a a supervolcanoe brewing in Yellowstone National Park - if that thing ever goes then I imagine it will make Tsar Bomba look small.

[WonkyTonkBotty]

@konman001 uhgh, i heard about that. they say if that erupted, the whole of that side of earth would be polluted by the eruption's smog for years.

[junkdeal]

@nezpercenathan T.C. was bigger. It was 1000's of tons of ammonium nitrate. A low-to-medium blast speed. An ammunition ship in Halifax was bigger than that. A smaller amount of blasting media, but it was High explosives like TNT, which has a violence 2 or 3 times higher than AN. To compare blasts is like apples and oranges. You have to convert all the data to one unit of energy. Joules, Watts, Calories are the scientific standards. Like saying a 1-horse motor.Many different ways to do it!

[Tounushi]

0:50 One of the most awesome things ever seen on TV.

poor marshmellow factory. We will miss you.

[Slic3R1]

at 5:10 that has to be the most EPIC explosion i have ever seen/heard

that sound explosion is fake and this is far from the biggest non nuclear explosion

[Peugot905]

Damn it Goku i told you no spirit bombs!!!!

[hostesaft83]

wauw. what a shock wave

[TheIrishMidgetOfCA]

2:13 for explosion

[mabz9]

That's probably bigger than a few atomic bombs and maybe even the foab..

[MrClaysta]

I told you damn kids not to play with matches!!!

[spiderwebster]

thats some super DIE HARD shit right there

[canoeshoe]

thats tiny

[HaydenPK]

@canoeshoe stupid youtubers putting the wrong title on a video

[Theninjadude47]

Umm what now?

[idiotfinder911]

Pepcon explosion knocked out people more than a mile away, broke windows more than 10 miles away and registered a 3.5 on the ricter scale more than 600 miles away. That was one bitch son of a bitch!

[boi9031]

pepcons was bigger

[ReaxkuTheFox]

Look up MOAB, mother of all bombs, the biggest non-atomic explosive i know of.

[basser41609]

@ReaxkuTheFox i wanna say that the russians made a bomb called the father of all bombs (go figure) which is bigger than than the moab but is non-nuclear

[ReaxkuTheFox]

@basser41609 Thx for the info, I wouldn't expect a Thermobaric explosive to be more powerful than a 'vacuum bomb' interesting.

[alexselby97]

@basser41609 they did its caalled the Tsar bomb

[basser41609]

@alexselby97 no that's the hydrogen bomb that was the equivalent of 57,000,000 tons of TNT. The bomb I am referring to is non-nuclear.

[alexselby97]

@basser41609 the tsar bomb is non-nuclear

[alexselby97]

@basser41609 no wait i was wrong it is nuclear

[HX3D014]

Youtube search

100 tons of tnt

[MortenBoHansen]

the 5:10 explotion.. if you close you eyes, right before the blast sound comes, it sounds like a branch in a MAJOR scale braking

[FrikinAwesomeB]

you suck

yar that is the biggest bomb ever

retard

[eddiebortz]

what if you saw a cat innocently walking out of that.

[Scindo123]

wiki does not hold compete facts. its just info people post on the site.

[emilen2]

Probably, you should look facts up first in wiki. Nowhere near biggest explosions. A huge fireball - yes, but not the biggest. :)

[SinerAthin]

Now that's a fireball.

[w0wnut3r]

nice bonfire

[jeuxpclol101]

have you seen the pepcon explosion video in nevada. a firetruck leaving area at 2km was almost destroyed by the blast. they were making solid-fuel for rockets.

[RoarDaemon]

it was the equivalent of a typical modern warhead.

[00Billy]

halifax explosion.

[alder321]

oppau explosion

[kyokogodai]

There have been far larger "non-nuke" explosions, but this one is still really big.

[w0wnut3r]

oooh like wat :D i wana see em

[damonH24]

@kyokogodai

Yes you are right, The biggest to date are Misty Picture and Minor Scale. Both tests by the US gov.

[kezza8880]

that explosion sound is one of the most used sound effects ever.now stop arguin about the sound!!

[tbake504]

but if you listen to people talk their voice is early to their lips so making the sound early to the explosion meaning there is a delay

[MrGustavoGuerrero]

The sound is real. They were only half a mile a way, and if you see closely during the explosion, it took about 1/2 sec before sound was heard.

[NielsShoe]

sound is fake their was no delay for the sound travel time.

[redrdr4life]

good point they were pretty far away. But that doesnt mean the video was fake.

[94thts]

Their definitely were a delay in sound.

[mmX1995]

omg

[mocasvaldo]

pepcon = popcorn

same shit

[snailplasma]

the second blast was smaller then the first but looked biger because it was night

[warmonster12345]

wow amazing can't believe only 1.8K views so far I give 5 stars tho

very intresting

[BryanBeatsYouAll]

I fucking hate those fake sound effects. They make the video sound so fake.

[OlyJeebus]

The sounds from the explosions are real.. the shitty background music can fuck off tho.
