"You didn't think it would be anything else did you?" perfect response.
Perfect response
Man’s answer
That's fake
😎
Just like in the movies ngl
"Right on Saigon", A famous line for one of the worlds most famous pilots. RIP Arnie Schreder, The last Dambuster.
Good Lord...........I never even thought of that. "The last Dambuster".
Johnny Johnston is the last still living in the uk
@@grahamjordan1040 Unfortunately he passed a few months ago. RIP.
Rest in peace Arnie amazing person and pilot! Huge respect
He died? How?
lung cancer@@thegreatestdonut461
Just shows how much work went into the original operation. There wasn't much room for error at all, plus it was done in the darkness under aa fire. A feat of engineering.
The movie has Barnes Wallis himself saying that he didn't anticipate that designing the bomb would be easier than dropping it.
No, the flyers pushed human performance to the limit to compensate for the limitation of the bomb, namely that it had to be dropped within a margin of a feet.
and solid steel balls.
Did anyone else notice how the film of them dropping the bomb doesn’t match up with the explosion lol
Do you really think civilian planes would be allowed to drop explosives?
If you saw the 2 part show, you would realize why they could not drop live ordinance. The explosion happened, controlled, after a succefull bullseye. Now, if you figure yourself a better pilot, then by all means.....do better than the bullseye they hit.
Ya I was confused about that
The delay was caused because the bomb hit the wall.....Sunk to the bottom....and then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,exploded! Not at the top.
So due to boring rules they wouldn't let a civilian plane drop a live bomb. Instead the drum is filled with concrete to give it weight, after it hit they then placed a bomb where the drum ended up to test its effectiveness.
if you want to see how much of a legend was this guy look for Ice Pilots NWT. R.I.P Arnie
Whis arnie
A bullseye! Excellent shot Maurice!
RIP Arnie! I wish I could have shook hands with such a talented pilot! This was no easy task! The WWII episode about the dambusters during Hitler's reign was amazing, check it out!
OMG that was aaawwwwwwsome!!
"Impact arnie, it was perfect" must've made him feel real good about himself after the water was glassy
@alvsaldanha2002 The 'bomb' dropped from the plane didn't contain any explosives. No country on earth would let a film crew drop explosives from a civilian aircraft - and it would be incredibly dangerous!
yup! I remember watching it- they were not allowed- so they dove down and found where it was, then put a barrel with the explosives in the same spot.
Yes its faken
It's still a remarkable piece of film. I've just read 53? airman died during the raid and of the 77 who returned 42 died before wars end.
"Yippekayyayy" 🔥
That was epic
Dude that's so cool!
Here before this gets recommended
Dams: Exist. RAF: and any way I took that personally
"oh-ho Arnie right in the middle" 😂
Right on Saigon!
Pretty cool !
The first camera angle, from the air, didn't show anything blow up. The next camera angle did. Are these two separate impacts?
Yes.
Right on Saigon...... i love that part
Fck man !!!
Nice job Arnie!
'Oh Arnie, right in the middle' 😂
Thoroughly enjoyed this cool vid.....Kaboom!
just the thought of one of those bombs bouncing up and hitting your aircraft is kinda scary ain't it?
It’s not going fast enough to bounce that high
@@nicolaswood7100 no a plane that tried this got hit by the bomb and died
@@user-cj1no4kz3m oh dang
@@user-cj1no4kz3m during the war or during a re creation?
@@nicolaswood7100 During the original training in WWII, they did pass too low and the bomb bounced and hit the tail. The entire crew died.
please show this again it was the best documentary ever
0:48 is when it actually drops
Why didn’t we see the explosion from the 1st pass when clearly the explosion shot way into the air but you can’t see it at. 0:55
The guys with the trucks near the damn were pretty confident about the accuracy of the test I guess
This is cool
Right on Saigon... My homeland =]]
How come it’s cloudy out when they drop it but when it blows up it’s sunny out
The explosion was done separately due to safety and regulations - so time passed while setting up the real explosives, after the dummy bomb was dropped.
Bu bombanın değeri bilinmedi...
Nice
Didn’t the aerial shot showed it missed? How did it hit at the end?
The aerial shot showed the dummy bomb hitting the dam.
I saw that det cord in the ground footage lmao
00:57 u can see the bomb bounce over the water and into the Wall but there ist no Explosion, they bust it otherwise
Real bouncing bombs dont explode on impact. That wouldn't make sense. It's a dam buster. They sink first to a certain debth and then detonate. But this wasn't a real bomb as far as I can determine from the comments. There were rules that wouldn't allow the dropping of a live bomb
I finnaly found this video
1:13 that looks like a scene from ten Commandments the splitting of the red sea.
I always thought that these bouncing bombs were interesting. But they’re limited in their application.
They make floating anti-ship mines that are covered with explosive charges.
So I wonder if it would be possible to make a bouncing bomb for land use. A bomb that’s covered with explosive charges that would send it forty feet in the air every time that that it bounced. The bomb could be dropped from an altitude of a hundred feet, and then it would keep bouncing forward in hundred foot hops as the bombs went off.
It would finally be detonated by a time fuse. The intent would be to give a low-flying plane the ability to deliver a cheap bomb that can jump over obstacles.
No electronics at all, the ground crew pulls the arming pin when mounting it on the plane. The bomb doesn’t need dashboard control because the timing fuse is simply triggered on the first bounce.
Thats damn cool.
@dave41184 A lot of "real engineering" IS like scrapheap challenge - theory and experiment are as important as each other. Obviously they focused on the practical aspects to make it interesting for everybody. I am sure that differences from the original design were for good reason - one such reason mentioned was that particular components were used to comply with Canadian regulations.
Here after seeing this on TikTok.
I had to look up dambusting after seeing that video, I was looking for a close up of the impact
@@spaceaddict5484 same, I was looking for a different angle or close up.
My tik tok by any chance? :) 69?
Shut
fuck tiktok..
JOLLY GOOD SHOW CHAPS.
Arnie is the new chad.
That was beautiful. Would have been better in an old Lancaster or Manchester tho'. So only a 9.5 outta 10.
Badass!
Try it at night!
Why there is too many bouncing bombs in my recommendation 😂
so much better than crapheap challenge.
@EricIrl the original world war 2 bomber plane for the uk was the langcaster
close lol. It was the Lancaster bomber. named for the county.
@@elevown
The Town, British bombers were named after towns, e.g. Lancaster, Manchester, Stirling, Whitley, Lincoln, Boston, Halifax, Hampden, Sunderland, etc.
Just a FYI 👍
Edit: it does have quirks, Hampden & Wellington were named after people, the planned 'Victory' bomber name needs no explanation.
I've just got it, the named town or urban destroyers after towns. It won't have been planned as the war started with plans for the RAF to bomb identified military targets in daylight or to bring the bombs back/jettison them. It was operational neccessity that compelled them to fly at night turning Bomber Command into a nocturnal force, they flew individually as a mass formation would invite collisions with each other, and it became area bombing as they couldn't see what they were aiming at.
The impact and explosion looks pretty different from the plane view and the close view
0:48 for the lazy
0:00 for the intelligent
hey everybody, "Right on Saigon" what mean, Vietnam war maybe ??
Không biết bạn sao nhưng mà mình hơi khó chịu câu đó luôn bạn :)))
The Bouncing Bomb had back spin. This was spinning forward.
Who cares - it did what it was supposed to when it hit the water - it didn't dig in to the water or bounce off at a crazy angle
🙌🏼 🙇🏻♂️ 🙌🏼🙇🏻♂️🙌🏼🙇🏻♂️
You cant even see it coming.
Yippiekayay
Saigon😂
Boing, boing, boing, boom!
"oh arnie, right in the middle" - arnie's wife
Say you're Canadian without sayin you're canadian:
Why " Right on Saigon" ????
Tactical nuke incoming
Yes it does look as though it is rotating the wrong way. The original spun "backwards" anti clockwise.
No they didn't put explosive in the device they dropped as it might have gone anywhere. In documentary they make that clear and show the explosion seperately.
Amazing recreation but now try doing it at night, under concentrated ack ack fire
"...now try doing it at night, under concentrated ack ack fire".
With the aircraft carrying lights to give the gunners a better aim.
I don't understand why the damn doesn't explode until camera cuts to another angle
delayed fuse
Impressive.
How much does the modern bomb weigh? I think the original was 7 tons.
And what is the carier aircraft?
They tried to get close to the original weight. I do not know the exact weight. However, the carrier aircraft is an old Douglus DC-7 transport/passenger plane.
@@5.stg1-dlmalloy43 DC4
Douglas DC-4. Similar size and weight to a Lancaster
@EricIrl The original was around 5 tons
That actually hit the side closest to the middle, so it wasn’t directly in the middle, cause it changed direction slightly while still having a straight trajectory.
0:50
why put two different clips together? the second clip is clearly didn't have a barrel skipping to it.
the barrel is a remote/delayed charge.. it doesn't explode on impact. The drop the barrel, it imbeds itself then explodes...
Z that’s how they did it originally but on this documentary they had a depth charge put in afterwards, if you’d like a little more context to this go on to amazon prime and watch “ice pilots” season 3 episode 2. I’d recommend watching the entire series but if you’re only interested in this that’s where you can go to see a bit more behind the scenes.
(Edit: grammar)
“Oh Arnie, Right in the middle!” 😫💦
ALA HU AKBAR 👳♂️👳♀️👳♂️
Is the bomb rotating the wrong way (anticlockwise from the right) or is it just aliasing?
Just aliasing, The bomb would not have worked if it was spinning forwards instead of the other way. As a child, I used to see this spinning-the-wrong-way effect all the time in Westerns, when wagon and buggy wheels looked like they were turning backwards.
@@MarsFKA They only looked like they were going backwards due to the FPS used to make the video.
В чём трудность просто заложить заряд и подорвать?
Зачем такие сложности?
Вообще-то специально чтобы подорвать имено так, эту дамбу построили.
Вообще-то, подрыв плотины можно, хоть как устроить, непонятно для чего так изощряться.
Cyka blyat putin is gay
What was the reason for this? Couldn’t they just put the jug into the water from ground level?
The dam buster was a weapon from WWII designed to be deployed just as you saw. Behind enemy lines where you wouldn't exactly have time to sink a large explosive package down the side of the dam, or the men on the ground to be able to do so.
Integraholic thanks!
So... they ran out of dynamite?
WW2 pilots used this method to blow enemy dams
whats the point in the barrel when they use explosives in the end?
lmfao, you're serious?
@Flying Spaghetti Monster but it did not explode in the plane view? it just knocked a few blocks in, the ones that can be seen sticking out before it explodes? when the plane flies over there is no explosion or water shooting up.
@Flying Spaghetti Monster I just do not understand, if its something done with a timer and explosives why not just use them and skip the bouncing thing? much cost much more to do it that way with fuel costs alone. couldn't some dude just walk up to the dry side and slap some explosives to the wall directly?
@Flying Spaghetti Monster remote location in the middle of nowhere? what are you on about? there was five pickup trucks parked on a road next to it.
@@TacticalSandals Are you serious?
I'm pretty sure Russia just used one of these in southern Ukraine to destroy a dam there. No way conventional bombs are causing that damage
As I can remember it was turning opposit way oryginaly.
it was, so it would move as close to the dam wall as possible as it sank
@@livetsteamrob not that- that did happen- but it was more a happy coincedence that it made it hug the dam wall and work better. It HAD to spin backward to make it skip up into the air.
That info was not available to the origional film makers because it was classified for ages.
@@elevown Yep, if you watch the movie, when the stock film of the bomb drop is shown, the bomb has been blacked out to disguise the fact that the bomb spun for accuracy.
@channel4 when are you going to put this on 4OD??
Why couldn't they drop a Bo straight on the dam?
Simple logistics. A bomb dropped directly on the dam would have needed to have been incredibly heavy and powerful to cause similar damage. Simply put, there wasn't a bomb big enough at that time. So, Barnes Wallis calculated that a much smaller device placed directly against the wall of the dam, using the cushioning effect of the water to enhance the force of the explosion and shock wave into the walls, would have a much better effect than a direct hit from above.
4 🪤👍
... the fuck did they have to air drop it in for if it could be on such a long time fuse? Especially bouncing it? The water was glassy calm again before it went off.
The dam-buster is suppose to sink and then explode at the bottom of the dam causing maximum damage and collapsing the whole entire dam. So the fuse had to be long enough for it to reach the bottom.
tiktok?
@altern8ive Try 'recreating' something when the inventor's original work and plans have been lost.
Operation Chastise
The original run happened at night bruh.....
Reddit brought me here.
Oh Arnie right in the middle🤤🤤🤤🥴🥴🥴😏😏😏
Абсолютно бесполезное оружие. Где экипаж самолета рискует умереть от ракет пво еще задолго до сброса бомбы. В мире, где есть дроны и крылатые ракеты.
Back in the days when channel 4 made stuff wanted to watch not the woke crap channel for makes now.
firstttttt
That's just graphics - what a cheat!
Not graphics watch ice pilots on prime
Aside from the test drop on the dam at the end shown here , the program was a joke. Dr Hugh Hunt seemed to have little or no knowledge or the raid's history. Even by reading published material or watching the film most people could pick up Barnes Wallis' intentions and how he worked out what he needed to in order to make the bomb work.
The programme resembled an episode of scrapheap challenge - the team changed the design and then wondered why it didn't work......
This is fake
This was rubbish, they were supposed to re-create the bouncing bomb and everything was inaccurate, the height, the speed, the delivery of the bomb to the wall, I was well annoyed, shame on you channel 4 for comminsioning this nonsense.
bankslord did they not bounce a heavy thing off the water a few times then hit the wall?
"shame on you channel 4 for comminsioning this nonsense", this sounds ridiculously british to this american
Clip at the end isn't even from that same first shot 😅
glad someone else noticed lmao
