YouTube, do not remove these videos. It’s historical moments and lesson we learned about destruction of atomic weapons

" A Nuclear arms race is like two guys standing in a bathtub full of gasoline, one has 3 matches and the other has five Sagan

These were the last of the great air bursts, shortly after operation Dominic Kennedy signed the atmospheric test ban treaty. Amazing and beautiful footage

[randehmarshgames]

Its so mesmerizing to watch because for a brief second it looks like a star

Thanks for starching the frame to correct aspect ratio.

The sea level shock ring that formed would encircle all of NYC from Yonkers to Staten Island.

The high quality of this film segment is remarkable.

i love how you can see the contrail of the plane just above the fireball, it gives a good perspective of how close these guys are to the bomb when letting it lose... you gotta give her the beans after letting it go

The test shot would have been so interesting to see during the day time. Love this quality it's amazing thank you

It’s scary to think that’s about 500 times as powerful as Hiroshima.

Beautiful and terrifying. Thanks for sharing

This is the best footage of a giant and mighty thermonuclear shell I have ever seen until today. Perfectly presented as an air burst in suitable height to allow the fireball to grow completely in all directions without any flattening due to eventual limitations through the ground. 🎆🔥

Красиво, но надеюсь такую демоническую красоту мы будем видеть ТОЛЬКО в фильмах и видео по ядерным и термоядерным испытаниям. Земле не нужна ядерная война.

Mk-39 Mod-1 Type 3 drop case. Airdrop from a height of around 12, 000 feet. June 27, 1962 The last atmospheric test by the US.

I think this is the best atomic bomb video I've seen. Insane in scope and size. Awe inspiring.

[lukenheimer]

The most gorgeous nuclear test footage I have ever seen. And I must admit, using the word “gorgeous” may be a little extreme. 😮

I believe you can see the double pulse if you slow down the fottage near the beginning.

Operation Dominic. Shot: Bighorn. Date: 27 June 1962. Location: Christmas Island. Aerial burst at 3, 600 m (11, 800 feet). Yield: 7.7 Mt. Output: 4.14 kt/kg.
Yep, 4 kilos of this firecracker would equal to Hiroshima. This shot is about 500 x Hiroshima.
