-150 METER UNCUT FOOTAGE OF UNDERWATER ATOMIC BLAST 1958

Wahoo blast the test conditions were met on May 16 1958 allowing for the nuclear device to be detonated. Within a second of detonation, a spray dome was created that reached a height of 840 feet (260 m) after seven seconds. The overall shape of the spray dome resembled a cone with 45 degree sloped sides. Plumes were seen breaking through the spray dome after six seconds in every direction. The vertical plume continued rising until 12 seconds after the blast while the lateral plumes traveled for 20 seconds before collapsing. The diameter of the spray dome was approximately 3,800 feet (1,200 m) at the 20 second mark.[4](p237) The base surge reached a radius of 8,000 feet (2,400 m) in the downwind direction after 1.7 seconds. The downwind surge aided by a 15 knots (17 mph; 28 km/h) wind reached speeds of 21 knots (24 mph; 39 km/h). This base surge could be seen for three and a half minutes and for longer from the air as it continued to move across the ocean. When the spray dome and base surge had dissipated, a foam patch could be seen spreading from the surface zero water to reach over 6,000 feet (1,800 m).[4](p238) The nuclear blast was calculated to be 9 kilotons of TNT (38 TJ). All fallout stayed within the predicted fallout area with a maximum of 0.030 R/hr. The target ship at 5,900 yards (2.9 nmi; 3.4 mi; 5.4 km) was directly hit by the shockwave, vibrating the entire ship and shaking it violently. The Moran merchant marine ship moored at 2,346 feet (715 m) away was immobilized due to shock damage to its main and auxiliary equipment while also suffering minor hull damage. One hour and ten minutes after detonation, a five-gallon water sample was taken directly above the blast location showing 5 R/hr. The retrieval team entered a 3.8 R/hrfield after an hour and thirty five minutes.

Now if humans only put that energy into good and creativity.

[Jaizensama]

RIP to all the aquatic life that was sacrificed for humanity’s need for destruction.

[tucopacifico]

And that’s how you get a sponge that wears pants and lives in a pineapple

[rexcowan]

Testing a nuclear weapon in a place full of life like a tropical island shows how dangerous the people in charge were.

[duaynewilson]

The fact that didnt cause a tsunami. Shows the strength of an earthquake

[Rahulthewarrior.]

And millions of marine species left this world...

[Zombieboy]

It's anyone not going to talk about how clear this video is for being 1958 ???! Holy cow

[therideneverends]

This becomes all the more hard to comprehend the force behind it when you realize how heavy water is.

the amount of energy required to displace that much water is insane

[treye]

That’s absolutely terrifying. Even the water falling is terrifying. So much power.

[Udaya]

The camera quality is way better in 1958 than most of the mobile cameras now.

[Shonade_Malik]

That's some of the best video quality I've ever seen - from 66 years ago!!

[Emmettron]

imagine waking up and seeing a wall of water 4 kilometres high rapidly expanding

[nicksincredibleopinion]

What's even more amazing, is how this massive explosion barely caused a wave after the initial burst. So the amount of force required by earthquakes to create tsunamis is mind boggling!

[tremity]

It’s funny how YouTube randomly just recommended this to everyone

[giohouse]

Somewhere on a concrete bench at an abandoned bus stop somewhere in LA, a homeless veteran gave up on securing his VA benefits. He has a Mickey’s and two packs of Marlboro 27s and some change. It was ten years ago that he last stepped out a VA facility.

I wonder how much that bomb costs. How many veterans could’ve been taken care of. A million times over.

[Arno_]

This footage from 1958 is much better than today's bank security camera.

[pedro.]

Disgraceful what humans do to this beautiful and only planet we have.

[fl]

I don't even want to imagine what the sound was like for the whales and other marine life

[Macncheesee]

Our politicians can do this but I can’t have a plastic straw?

[okanunal]

Poor fishes, poor birds, what a kind of monster mankind is?
