A terrifying amount of power no one should have.

[demitrac.]

What a nightmare for the ocean life or anything near these things going off

[dinacaldwell]

This is a classic example of humans not realizing just because you Can do something does not mean you Should

[harrybouch]

I'm drinking through a paper straw while watching this because apparently its my fault that the oceans are fucked.

[gambitdude]

I'm not a peace soldier by any means, but I can't help but imagine where we'd be as a species if we dedicated this much time and effort into things that would benefit the world instead of destroying it...

My father saw the first two tests at Bikini Atoll called Operations Crossroads in July 1946. We had photos my father personally took, but my elementary school borrowed them for a display and never returned them. My father was a a radar tech, but called a radioman. He told me of walking on the atoll with Geiger counters after the tests, and the counters were going crazy. Fortunately, he never suffered any disease from being exposed to high degree of radiation. He passed in 2009.

I love the phrasing "caught on camera", like nuclear explosions just happen randomly and someone was lucky enough to film one 😄

[keneticchannel]

2:55 - Bikini was not uninhabited. Its residents were forcibly removed. By the time the tests were completed, the levels of radiation on the island make it uninhabitable.

[Eireternal]

Anyone else think...I wonder how much life we destroyed with that underwater nuke. Not to mention straight up just pumping radiation through the ocean.

[bgood]

I really do appreciate your relatively calm and non stress narration, as opposed to so many others that sounds like they are running on speed, screaming and shouting. Also, the non clickbait intros and thumbnails are highly appreciated. Good channel, subscribed.

[rem]

The scariest part of this is that we have crazy people in charge of detonating these things.

[starkiller]

The fact that we only stopped making bigger bombs because the planes dropping them wouldn’t be able to escape is terrifying

[revolutionaryprepper]

[DRIPSTER]

9:10 A moment of silence for all of the fish and marine life killed in the making of this film.

[QUEfrang]

The guy who drove the plane to test the tsar bomba had a 50% chance of surviving the explosion, even though the nuke had a parachute. Also the bomb was reduced to half its original power.

[derekm]

A little fact: The castle bravo incident that affect a Japanese fishing boat, lead to antinuclear protest in Japan, which lead to the movie, Godzilla.

[jasonstorey]

What they don't tell you is that the soldiers who witnessed this bomb later on had children with missing limbs and or learning disabilities, and the soldiers themselves had issues as well such as a lot of them dying from cancer.

[Mr_Nobody]

Oppenheimer : Albert, when i came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world.

Einstein : I remembered it well, what about it?

Oppenheimer : i believe we did.

[siriusness]

The Tsar bomba actually had a potential to produce a 100 megaton blast but was scaled down to 50 megaton due to the fact that the plane dropping it would have had no chance of survival, amongst other things.
To put into context a 100 or even a 50 megaton blast would COMPLETELY vaporize ( turn to dust) the greater London area, not to mention the secondary damage and radioactive fallout.

[aqn]

It’s sickening that man is so hell bent on destruction.
