  • stop it right at 0:04, awesome flash

  • @mikefm4 well, i was wondering the same. the they sync it or something?

  • looks like the speed of sound is the same as the speed of light now

  • @Neko3Noskire well the flash contains the main burst of gamma radiation which causes that, the fallout mostly contains the remnant uranium and such which is why areas remain contaminated

  • @THECHAOS111 not tomention the flash alone contains most of the radiation, which burns, iradiates, and ionizes everything within flashrange, including the atmosphere. and its not over, the ionized atmosphere is then acting like a giant capacitor that immediately discharges and fries any electronic system in range. i learned this in the military

  • Yeah TRY AND FUCK WITH US.

  • 00:39 Is a Beatiful flower from US civilizacion to the world. Like us or hate us we are there.

  • @AzumiRM well the cloud often carries massive doses of radioactive fallout though which is the majority of the problem in using them as you get horrible birth defects/mutation like the hiroshima babies.

  • People seem to like the top part (the non destructive part) of atomic bomb explosions / the mushroom cloud. Destruction is caused by the sockwave and blast surrounding the base. The cloud it's self might consume a bird or two but causes no damage at all after the initial blast.

  • i saw the fallout...
