Dr. Stafford Warren was a radiologist and pioneered nuclear medicine. In fact, he invented the mammogram. He was present at the Trinity test where he was responsible for safety, he was sent to Japan after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to see what effects the radiation might have on American soldiers, and later he became the first dean of the UCLA medical school. He was THE expert on radiology at the time. This guy was a GENIUS... and apparently an amazing fish catcher.
My dad knew a guy who was sent to Hiroshima days after the nukes, when he started suffering from the problems that you would except someone who did that to suffer from, his dr said it had nothing to do with Hiroshima In a documentary about a group of soldiers on an island having nukes tested on them the same thing happened to them, except they had it even worse

In case you don't fully understand what the fish means, I'll try to explain this as simply as I can. I take x-rays all the time at my job, so I have a decent understanding of it. When you take x-ray images, there are 2 parts. The part of the machine that releases X-ray radiation, and the tray containing the film that absorbs the radiation, which places images onto the film inside the tray. We have computers to do this digitally for us now. Whenever x-ray radiation is released from the machine, the crystals inside the tray react with the film, and place the imprint of whatever was in way of the x-rays on the film, which can then be processed. This guy, literally just took a fish, and placed it onto the tray, didn't turn on the x-ray machine, and the tray reacted the same way it would have to x-ray radiation. To summarize, the fish had absorbed so much radioactive material, that it didn't even need x-ray radiation for the fish to be imprinted onto the film. And that is terrifying! Hope this helped!
Sorry but that's wrong, a better explanation is that the fish BECAME the x-ray machine. The fish had absorbed enough radioactive plutonium such that the x-rays and gamma rays being emitted from the inside of the fish could be used to x-ray itself
I encourage y'all to watch Mr. Ballens video on the Japanese fishermen. Really telling on how much we messed up.

@@s7robin105 It baffles me how many people still think its a "real problem" and not invented to tax people for "carbon credits" for literally breathing and introducing "Green Energy" bullsh*t which is even more harmful and wasteful. I guess if media and academia keep repeating the same lies over and over again it will make it come true. Isn't it strange how many inventors got brought out or suddenly died in weird circumstances when they had invented more effective or clean solutions for energy generation? You can't tax that stuff and it would destroy petrocurrency so of course it had to be shut down any way possible.
Autoradiograph is probably the scariest word. You're emitting so much radiation that you become your own source for the x-ray. I can imagine the fish didn't live long
Comments like this are a bit of a silly take. Yes, there are examples of tests blatantly done intentionally. But with these, we had no idea back then. I’m Nevada, nuclear tests were tourist attractions, with people driving away from Vegas - and out into the desert to watch the detonations. Even when we detonated the first one with the Manhattan project, scientists weren’t sure what was going to happen. Some even INVOLVED didn’t want to do the test because they thought it might ignite and burn off the entire atmosphere. But alas, whaddya gonna do, not try to win the war? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lol My point is, yes there are lots of conspiracies, but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy. We don’t know everything at all times. It’s easy for us to do now in retrospect, but it’s not easily said if you were a scientist back then. It’s not like that dude was the only scientist that wanted safety back then. Other scientists thought it was fine.
My father-in-law was on a hotel ship during this test. He went to sea weighing 225 lbs and had red hair. When he arrived in San Francisco he was 163 lbs and his hair had turned white. This was 6 weeks later. The navy decided the ship was too hot to be in the harbor. They sailed the ship out and spend another month cleaning the ship. They came back in to the harbor. It was determined it was still too hot. They had the sailors sail the ship to Oregon and filled it with cement and sink the ship. My father in law spend 12 weeks on this ship.
Wow… did he live long? And I was wondering how long it took but was not expecting 6 weeks… and then another 6 weeks… did he have complications from the radiation or was he fortunate enough to escape the radiation
@@sherribreeden1906 He had a huge weigh loss. Lost his hair color and then started to bald. He lived to be 61 but was on medical treatments for bone cancer
@@sherribreeden1906 I don't know if you know this. Government records from WW11 were stored at 9600 Page Blvd St Lousi Mo on the 6th floor. Conveniently there was a fire on the 6th floor. Instead of trying to save what records were left they took a bobcat and bulldozed everything off the 6th floor. Now the Building is only a 5-stories When veterans try and claim benefit or service connected medical, the VA tells them they have to provide their on records. Many people who served do not have their own records. After all it has been over 50 years for some of these veterans. The Government has saved Billions of dollars denying benefits to veterans
I like to think he was looking everyone in the eye when he put his hand in the ocean and caught a goddam fish like its the most normal thing in his life
I will not ruin my mental image of an angry doc reaching his bare hand into the sea to yank out a fish by thinking about how thats definitely not how it happened. Thats how he did it in my head, and thats how its gonna stay.
They just had no idea. Operation Crossroads was the first test of nuclear weapons after the bombings of Japan. Shot Baker was only the fourth plutonium device ever detonated in history. There were only a handful of men who worked in the Manhattan Project that had the slightest idea what these could do, and even they were largely still in the dark because their goal was to create a functional military weapon as quickly as possible, not to understand it. We take it for granted that every kid in high school learns about radiation, but back then it was still theoretical. May as well ask a military commander today to grasp the highest levels of physics on the level of Stephen Hawking.
I just imagine this being one of those heart sinking moments. Like imagine being one of the superiors on this ship and realizing you’ve been bombarding thousands of young men with extreme doses of radiation for a week

@@s7robin105 It baffles me how many people still think its a "real problem" and not invented to tax people for "carbon credits" for literally breathing and introducing "Green Energy" bullsh*t which is even more harmful and wasteful.
I guess if media and academia keep repeating the same lies over and over again it will make it come true.
Isn't it strange how many inventors got brought out or suddenly died in weird circumstances when they had invented more effective or clean solutions for energy generation? You can't tax that stuff and it would destroy petrocurrency so of course it had to be shut down any way possible.
@@tiborklein5349 Semmelweis reflex indeed!
Autoradiograph is probably the scariest word. You're emitting so much radiation that you become your own source for the x-ray. I can imagine the fish didn't live long
Of course it didn't! It was flopping around on a plate lol

Bailey Sarian needs to do a Dark History episode on this!
My dad’s, dad died at a young age as he was part of that type of testing in the Navy, super sad story as a result.
So basically they sent those sailors to be test subjects.
Nothing new tbh
They never stopped, they've been testing shit on unsuspecting service-members for longer than you can imagine.
Many ended up dying, unfortunately
@@WhooptieDo "Many ended up dying, unfortunately." I hate to break it to you, but 77 years later, they're ALL dead.
Comments like this are a bit of a silly take. Yes, there are examples of tests blatantly done intentionally.
But with these, we had no idea back then. I’m Nevada, nuclear tests were tourist attractions, with people driving away from Vegas - and out into the desert to watch the detonations.
Even when we detonated the first one with the Manhattan project, scientists weren’t sure what was going to happen. Some even INVOLVED didn’t want to do the test because they thought it might ignite and burn off the entire atmosphere. But alas, whaddya gonna do, not try to win the war? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lol
My point is, yes there are lots of conspiracies, but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy. We don’t know everything at all times. It’s easy for us to do now in retrospect, but it’s not easily said if you were a scientist back then. It’s not like that dude was the only scientist that wanted safety back then. Other scientists thought it was fine.
"We've found your radiation sickness to not be service related"
Everybody gangsta until vsauce is completely serious during a whole video
Imagine giving yourself a radioactive selfie. ☠️☠️☠️
My father-in-law was on a hotel ship during this test. He went to sea weighing 225 lbs and had red hair. When he arrived in San Francisco he was 163 lbs and his hair had turned white. This was 6 weeks later. The navy decided the ship was too hot to be in the harbor. They sailed the ship out and spend another month cleaning the ship. They came back in to the harbor. It was determined it was still too hot. They had the sailors sail the ship to Oregon and filled it with cement and sink the ship. My father in law spend 12 weeks on this ship.
Wow… did he live long? And I was wondering how long it took but was not expecting 6 weeks… and then another 6 weeks… did he have complications from the radiation or was he fortunate enough to escape the radiation
@@sherribreeden1906 He had a huge weigh loss. Lost his hair color and then started to bald. He lived to be 61 but was on medical treatments for bone cancer
@@billstapleton1084 so sorry for your loss.. the government treated them horribly
@@sherribreeden1906 I don't know if you know this. Government records from WW11 were stored at 9600 Page Blvd St Lousi Mo on the 6th floor. Conveniently there was a fire on the 6th floor. Instead of trying to save what records were left they took a bobcat and bulldozed everything off the 6th floor. Now the Building is only a 5-stories When veterans try and claim benefit or service connected medical, the VA tells them they have to provide their on records. Many people who served do not have their own records. After all it has been over 50 years for some of these veterans. The Government has saved Billions of dollars denying benefits to veterans
@@billstapleton1084 sorry for your loss!! this is crazy..
It's almost like we shouldn't be detonating enormous radioactive bombs.
Whatever gave you that idea?
@@timopper5488 At least he's smarter than those us folks lol
they didnt know what we know now
@@warbossonxy
Yeah they did. That’s why they were developing a nuclear bomb. To kill people.
@@warbossonxy i feel like it doesnt take a genius to see a weapon that can glass an entire city and think "maybe we took a wrong turn somewhere"
Bro absorbed so much plutonium he turned into a squid
This whole thing sounds like a nightmare.

Okay but can we talk about the badass move of this dude to convince people
Grabbing a fish from the ocean?
I like to think he was looking everyone in the eye when he put his hand in the ocean and caught a goddam fish like its the most normal thing in his life

we need a full Vsauce video on this
There isn't a full video on this? I definitely am with you on that.
dude a full vsauce video just popping out out of nowhere would be baller
Didn't he just explain everything about it though?
autoradiograph sounds like a banger name for a book about self-reflection
I will not ruin my mental image of an angry doc reaching his bare hand into the sea to yank out a fish by thinking about how thats definitely not how it happened. Thats how he did it in my head, and thats how its gonna stay.
“Look man, we can’t be doing this. We gotta get outta here. Something feels very wrong. Images are appearing on the floor and shit”
That would indeed definitely be a sign
High level military intelligence.
Yeah bro they got fishes taking X-rays n shid
Ain't gonna ruin that 69 likes
Yeah they must a been pretty high.
lol how r they supposed to know the unknown??? they were trying to learn about it because the weapon was needed to save the world from Hitler.
They just had no idea. Operation Crossroads was the first test of nuclear weapons after the bombings of Japan. Shot Baker was only the fourth plutonium device ever detonated in history.
There were only a handful of men who worked in the Manhattan Project that had the slightest idea what these could do, and even they were largely still in the dark because their goal was to create a functional military weapon as quickly as possible, not to understand it. We take it for granted that every kid in high school learns about radiation, but back then it was still theoretical. May as well ask a military commander today to grasp the highest levels of physics on the level of Stephen Hawking.
I guess here’s a thought twister: “I bet Baker was baking a big crater.”
I just imagine this being one of those heart sinking moments. Like imagine being one of the superiors on this ship and realizing you’ve been bombarding thousands of young men with extreme doses of radiation for a week
