Is it a sign of brilliance to thoroughly document what you're going to do, then go annoy some people?

Sheeesh.

Yes! Your tenth grader, using freely available tools, can cobble up some extremely, extremely thin "evidence".

Of course, then there will be a flame war over whether or not it means Aliens or Not Landing On The Moon or Princess Zelda Seduced Neil Armstrong!

... see also "tripe".

Jeeze, this is like a 1950's nuclear bomb shelter guide

Mental Note: MUTE out the audio track in a hurry!

Hee hee hee ... thank you for posting this!

Good video! Thank you!

Don't be a jerk to the kid doing this, at least he's doing something and trying!

Totally rock and roll. Well done!

(Don't let the trolls get you down -- you'll be signing their paychecks.)

Nice!

Possibly it could drip a hole into space/time? :-)

Ooops. No, that's my coffee percolator.

(*cough*) You may want to re-check your casualty figures from better sources. The "thousands of victims", etc, numbers, while making scare headlines, just haven't shown up in the real world.

What has shown up is people get all stressed out over the word "radiation", and the resulting stress caus...

By the way, they're playing "I Love Rock'n'Roll during the closing credits, so I kinda think this wasn't before that song came out! :-)

Very interesting documentary. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this video. It's an important historical piece.

(I rather doubt this was filmed digitally, since this was in 1952.)

A number of the nuclear videos are mislabeled. I wish there was a way to clean that up.

Congratulations!

Your "cover photo" is of a French nuclear test in the South Pacific.

You swiped the takeoff and bomb-drop footage (and music of that part) from the film "Trinity and Beyond". That's why there's a sudden shift in the music. Tacky, tacky.

If you're saying this is the Tsar Bomba, y...

Dynamite is just nitroglycerin soaked into clay. When the sticks aren't turned, the nitroglycerin starts coming out of the clay. It drips down to the bottom of the box and pools; most of the old boxes are lined with waxed paper. That's that "Hercules" box that you didn't touch near the end. That'...

I think your meter topped out at 500 milli-roentgens per hour, or 1/2 roentgen per hour. Let's see ... 1 sievert is 100 rads, so, call it, .005 sieverts. (All math errors are mine). Anyway, that certainly woke your meter up! I wonder if that rock had perhaps worked loose recently. Anyway, thanks...

While alphas are essentially helium nucleus' and can't blunder more than an inch through atmosphere (or through paper), they have one heck of an exciting trip for whatever they hit. Inhaling them or ingesting them is a really bad deal. If you're doing this think about disposable gloves and washin...

While you're all fussing over whether or not it's... extremely... obvious.... that you can use a cell phone ringer to do useful things from afar (for example, flip on lights at your house), and bear in mind there are kits to do stuff like this from Velleman, I'm looking at, "How to See Through Cl...

None of this stuff is that difficult. It would require ... *gasp!* ... reading a few books and possibly ... *horrors!* ... doing a little math. Those could be difficult. Your mileage will vary about that. Relax, I'm kidding.

By the way, those thorium lantern mantles are no longer available, and ...

Oh, nooooOOOOoooo!!!, it's another anti-nuke filck. You can always tell. It starts up with flute, or windchime, music, always in a minor key, features lots of pictures of children, and it's always thoroughly depressing.

Help Stop Anti-Nuke Music!!!

Here in the Anti-Nuke-Depressing-Music-Coalition...

Weird Al rocks harder than almost anyone, but a lot of people don't really get that. He's had one hell of a career. Thoughtful words, thoughtful send-ups, great stuff!

So ... don't let it get you down ... don't let it get you down ...

And this one is funnier than any arrogant "Pop Star"!

Video: Quite Interesting.

Comments: Well ... what can you say about someone who says the "atom bomb may be a myth"? Perhaps giving them the web address of the Flat Earth Society would work?

Fine job of piloting!

What did the mechanics find? It sure cut out in a hurry. I believe a 172 has a magneto-based ignition but it's been a really long time.

Isn't it surprising how much you have to push in to keep your airspeed up?

Nice work,

Dave

Ted Taylor wrote "the bomb" ? Huh?

Aaargh! Drop some sparks onto that paint can there for a truly memorable video! *BOOM!!!*

I would be grateful if you could put your video camera onto "stable" mode, or, better, actually use a tripod. I'm getting motion sickness! BLAAAAH! Where's the Dramamine?
