Atomic Bomb Blast And After-Blast Effect

Don't forget to like /favourite if you feel a scarry chill down your spine while watching that video :).

It shows the devastating power of a nuclear blast test as it happens during the mid-20th century (1959).

Operation Buster-Jangle was a series of seven (six atmospheric, one underground) nuclear weapons tests conducted by the United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site. Buster-Jangle was the first joint test program between the DOD and Los Alamos National Laboratories. 6,500 troops were involved in the Desert Rock I, II, and III exercises in conjunction with the tests. The last two tests evaluated the cratering effects of low-yield nuclear devices. This series preceded Operation Tumbler-Snapper and followed Operation Greenhouse.

Operation Tumbler-Snapper was a series of atomic tests conducted by the United States in early 1952 at the Nevada Test Site. The Tumbler-Snapper Series of tests followed Operation Buster-Jangle, and preceded Operation Ivy.

The Tumbler phase consisted of three airdrops which were intended to help explain discrepancies in the actual and estimated blast shock wave damage noted on previous detonations, and to establish more accurately the optimum height of burst.

The Snapper phase consisted of 1 airdrop and 4 tower shots intended to test various new weapons developments.

The military exercise Desert Rock IV, involving 7350 soldiers, took place during the test series. They trained during the Charlie, Dog, and George shots and observed shot Fox.

Their purpose was to train troops and gain knowledge of military maneuvers and operations on the nuclear battlefield. They included observer programs, tactical maneuvers, and damage effects tests.

Camp Desert Rock was established in 1951, 1.5 miles south of Camp Mercury. The site was used to billet troops and stage equipment. The camp was discontinued as an Army installation in 1964.

The music is from the Irish band "God is an Astronaut", And the track is "When Everything Dies". I do not own the copyright for this music.

At 7:13 you can have a distant view of the explosion.

I'm a downwinder, a survivor of these tests. I was little girl on a horse on leased gov land when they set it off. It was terrifying. It has never left me. It killed everything. My grandfather had to shoot my horse. Dead animals everywhere. I was never able to have children. It fried my thyroid. I still have flashbacks and I am 61 years old. The soldiers in this video were ordered to stand up and face the ground zero blast. They are all dead from cancer. I'm a bit of a miracle.

Fifties madness based on fear, ideological façade to hide national ambitions and bureaucratic decisions all of this boosted by the Press. The bill ? ah ... the citizens, the subjects only invited to come in to pay it, in many cases with their own life.

hey everybody! lets walk towards the radioactive mushroom cloud!
