A nuclear / atomic bomb which was exploded underground in 1962. Listen closely to the altitude that the video was taken at, it gives you an idea of how much this explosion threw dirt up.

  • war das geplant?

  • @RandomDirectors

    There is to a point, but it still just too powerful.

    Imagine that you want to dredge, say, a major city harbor. You could not set off a nuke because there is too much nearby that can be damaged and you cannot control the blast well enough.

    The political fallout would be unsurmountable. People hear 'Nuclear Weapon' and they think the end of the world and that they are infinitely powerful devices.

  • @Knepperify1 oh ok so was there a lot less residual after all?

  • @RandomDirectors

    Part of the Operation Plowshare to see if smaller yields could be used for excavation. There is usually too much residual radioactivity even if the U tamper is removed and the bomb is a clean Teller-Ulam of very small yield.

  • they saw justin bieber.

    unfortunately they missed him ;(

  • how far under the ground was it?

  • holy shit ants have developed nuclear technology

  • its cool i was there.
