Teapot Apple 2 Cue Houses atomic bomb effects Part2

The following are additional clips filmed during the test known as Teapot Apple 2 and Operation Cue which took place on May 5, 1955.

Don’t forget, Teapot Apple 2 occurred at midday in the desert. The footage looks like it was shot a night because the nuke is so bright that the REFLECTED light from the buildings/ground is far brighter than the MIDDAY sky in sunlight

Nice thermal pulse burn, blast wave, and then advection.
Advection is triggered by the very hot fireball sucking an airstream--parallel to the ground--toward the detonation, a low pressure center of a vast volume of air rising (as convection) into the mushroom.

To think that somewhere in these parts there was a Indiana Jones flying in a fridge...

And the first little pig built his house with straw, the second little pig built his with sticks but the third little pig used steel-reinforced concrete.

[Plumbump]

Just think, that smoke coming off the buildings before the shockwave hits... sunburn, really, really bad sunburn.

These films never show you enough context. They should all show -30 seconds before the nuclear explosion, to +30 seconds afterward. Those fades-to-black between scenes hide the aftermath.

Well, those campers were worth money. Lol! That's some amazing footage. Thanks for posting!

[ThillerKillerX]

Wow Those are some strong campers. Don't make em like they used to.

I’m not sure what you use to restore these videos. But it looks absolutely amazing. All of them look as if they were recorded yesterday

[dlasky]

Until recently, I had no idea that Nuclear bombs were tested on US lands. My big question is, what about the nuclear fallout? Didn't the radiation affect the people near the test site, or carried by the wind to populated areas?

[trashcompactorYT]

Remember these buildings are miles away from ground zero too

[thechri]

whats the distance to the center of the explosion?

[giuseppersa]

"And now I am become Death ". Indeed.

1:16 I'll bet the guy wires made a really interesting sound as the tower was shaken around.

[TopsyTriceratops]

I'll be honest, I actually liked the added in sound effects, feels a bit lonely without them.

[Lesseplesse]

Whats tbe weird smoke around doors before everything collapses?

[Fischxx]

Guys, i wonder what that smoke is before the impact that comes off from the walls and roofs or objects in general. Is that just dust that gets blown away or what is that ? THX

[_garebear]

Taking cover in an airstream isn't a bad idea.

[noelht]

Even the third little pig knew not to live in a house made of wood

[joeflippo]

What was the yield of this device, anyone know?
