Nukes and moon landings are fakery that they've stopped doing.
What ever happened to the hole in the ozone?
Nukes are hot flash bangs and their explosive force is mostly the result of massive amounts of tnt in every so called nuke. With a combination of bright light and conventional explosives they scare peopleeffectively so exposing their weaknesses will not happenil in modern times.
The myth is only effective as long as most people buy in.
A flare-o-cracker.
Every see the Heroshima or Nagasaki imaged.
Why are trees and power lines still up.
Did the blast Pic and choose? Or, was it not quite the blast that they claim it was.
In fact much of the so called blast zones areas did not look like they'd been blasted but rather burned.
That doesn't jive with the shock wave they claim nukes create.
Because there are about 2 trillion more air-conditioners these days then when they said free on was soo bad for us.
All lies and hysteria like the CO2 bad hoax.
Global warming hoax.
Climates change.
Yawn. oh my. Another failure of the science education system.
So the Enola Gay had 20,000 tonnes of TNT strapped beneath it then? And the blast zone looked like it had been "burned"? Like from the heat of thousands of degrees of nuclear fireball perhaps? The same fireball caught on video and seen by thousands on the ground? Or that blast waves dissipate with inverse square law and that trees are a bit more firmly rooted than wooden Japanese buildings. Go speak to a survivor of the bombings and they'll educate you.
oh and you may have missed the memo, but we use different refrigerants these days in airconditioning systems that *don't* deplete the ozone layer like the old HCFCs used to.
These myths and conspiracy theories are only effective as long as people without science knowledge buy in.
It’s wild to see someone who understands absolutely nothing about nuclear science or the effects of nuclear weapons voice their opinion.
The answer to your question about the blast sites in Japan “picking and choosing” is sort of. Hiroshima was a ground burst detonation, the nuclear device was unable to reach maximum yield before it cooled off the reaction. Nuclear weapons create significantly more yield when detonated as an air burst than when detonated at ground or near ground burst. Because of this, much of Hiroshima was spared, some people survived because they were bent over behind some cover when the bomb went off. Some trees and power lines were spared because they were behind taller structures during the fire ball. However, I should also state that hardly anything survived at all. If you look at the aerial pictures of before and after the nuke went off, the cities were reduced to rubble in an instant. Nagasaki was even worse, the bomb had significantly higher yield and was detonated at a higher altitude, allowing it to destroy much more of the city. There was almost nothing left behind after Nagasaki.
As for your theory about tnt flare bombs, it doesn’t fit the explosion. TNT explodes extremely fast and burns off all of its energy in less than a second. Even the quickest nuclear explosion lasts 20 seconds. The light burst from the nuclear weapons also does not fit TNT or any kind of flare. It burns out bright extremely fast and then endures until it is covered by the ash pick up of the explosion. Lastly, there is no physical way to transport enough TNT to create an either an explosion or a mushroom cloud the size and scale of the nuclear detonations. Even our most powerful thermobarric bombs don’t come close. For reference, the Tzar Bomba was such a powerful explosion that it’s shockwave could be measured after passing the entire earth three times. These bombs truly are the pinnacle of human destructiveness. We can annihilate entire cities in seconds and our nukes have only gotten better.
@@monkeyman113565 ok. You buy it. I get it.
1. They knew not to do a ground burst number one.
2. A ground burst? You claim to know sooo much why would they ground burst?
3. They would not ground burst for another reason. An apparatuse such as a nuclear device should not be left too impact damage so it wasn't.
And if not, why risk damage to the weapon?
Keep reading the tarded tales of nuclear retardedness.
@@fuzzblightyear145 hahaha...nukes...hahaha a fear of losers.
sir I think it’s time to go see a doctor
This video explains why in 1962-1963, while living in MN as a child, I was warned not to eat the snow because it was radioactive.
@Dee Zimmo - strontium 90. I lived in Chicago and got he same warning. Couldn’t eat cranberries either
Were you told to not eat the yellow snow too...?
@@buckhorncortez yes
@@buckhorncortez Frank Zappa did warn of this.
with love and respect, they lied to you. Nukes are Hoax. (like fuel hoax, reseach it in planes or the mud flood: do not die without knowing some truth)
And when the Govt tells you that everything is ok, the opposite is always true.
Never believe anything the government tells you until it has been officially denied.
Fact.
Um the opposite of dead is alive...
I dont think alive means dead...

yeap and you are the only nuclear shithead here...........oh my god i feel your radiation.
"Everything was thought to be fine until they all got cancer."
LMFAO
But got cancer in their 80's...
Don't make jokes about this kids, it wasn't funny. Those were soldiers used as lab rats while the officials stayed away in safety knowing (enough to keep themselves clear of radiation) what they were doing to the ill-informed soldiers. It's one of the worse things the US government did in the last 100 yr.s. Those servicemen would have being burning down our cities in anger had they not been too sick to do so, they had every right to revolt.
Many servicemen were sent to ground zero right after detonation, the officials who were taking measurements raced in with special suits, grabbed their instruments and dashed back out in a truck while troops were walking into the hot zone in ordinary fatigues to see what it would do to them.
And don't think something similar can't happen to you, our nation is entering the most fascist condition it's been in since the 1950's and probably worse. It's not a given that we will emerge well from the current era of attacks on our basic rights and freedoms.
My Uncle, my Father's twin brother, was one of the first soldiers that had to go into Hiroshima, to film the destruction. He died from cancer that was in almost every part of his body.
My other Uncle, my Mother's brother died from almost the exact same cancers, except it started in his spine instead of his intestines. He was a solider that was assigned to guard some of the Nazi's secret weapons projects. The bell was one of them.
I am saddened that anyone would find cancer funny.
Radiation was unknown at that time. Like my Uncle said, "If they told us we'd get radiation, we would have said ok and did what we were told to do anyway. It was war, and you either did what they told you to do, or they'd shoot you."
Real funny....
Obviously cancer is not funny. But the way the guy narrating said it, that was fuckin hilarious. Relax.
You think this is LMFAO? Seriously?? They are soldiers and they were only following directives you imbecile
"Everything was fine........... Until they all got cancer" LMAO
Yep
Copied
Everything was perfectly okay at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant until it exploded
I would have sued tf out of america us amry
Yeah ... direct gamma radiation, not fallout
"5 men and a cameraman were forced to stand under a nuke to prove how safe it was"
Well that was bound go down well wasn't it?
Maybe
To try covering up the serious consequences of the war crime.
They weren't forced. They volunteered.
Madness.
yeah..they smiling too..looks happy
01:58 Military: "The purpose of this test was to show US citizens that they had nothing to fear about nukes". lol
Sumit Singh why they simply don't use the président and the minister to proof there is nothing to worry about 🤣
Ecks dee
I watched the actual press release on this. He summed it up with "nothing to fear" but it was a lot more complicated. It was to show that tactical, low yield anti-air missiles were safe for the public on the ground. At the time, the US' only long-range, land-based anti-air missile was actually quite innaccurate, so they put a very small nuclear warhead on it. That way, it didn't have to be accurate because it could take out an entire soviet nuclear bomber from any relatively close distance.
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Unfortunately.
They are part genius part dumb. What were they thinking?
Castle Bravo could be on this list as it's yield was much higher than anticipated that nearly killed observers... Goldsboro was not a detonation.
You are right Andrew, it was not a detonations but it was one of the biggest mistakes that US Army made in the past. And about Bravo, indeed I heard about that but it was hydrogen bomb, not a plutonium/uranium based bomb.
A Thermonuclear bomb (H-bomb) is triggered using a standard nuclear bomb (plutonium/uranium based bomb). In fact, it is only known as a hydrogen bomb because isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium & tritium)are used in it's design, however multiple stage devices will normally have fission-fusion-fission builds. This is how we get more and more powerful devices, adding stages. The fission stage is needed to begin the process because of the intense heat and pressure needed to initiate a fusion reaction.
60 miles wide.
I agree - Goldsboro was not a detonation, and Castle Bravo should be on the list. Castle Bravo gave cancer to some of the people accidentally exposed.
Top 5 Countdown technically castle bravo was a nuclear detonation
Well we’re not exactly going to test it on the mainland
Us military: how about Hawaii?
They tested tons of them on the mainland 🤣
"Everything was thought to be fine until they all got Cancer"
Oh my God I couldn't help but laugh at the way he said that...
Becoming a silhouette isn't scary.
Dying slowly from radiation sickness because you survived and everyone else is forever silhouetted is what frightens me
Because lives of common men doesn't have any value.
but they lived well into their 80's..so really they were done with anyways lol
Just like commies wish everyone they hate gets Cancer and Covid lolil

True
Castel Bravo was supposed to yield a 4 to 6 mt blast, but instead popped at 15 mt.
And they wonder what happened to our ozone layer
Rodney F. true lmao
Yessssss
lol
This nuclear tests -about 4.500 since 1945-are the reason that we suffer from all types of cancer all over the world.
In our days we have also accidents in nuclear factories.
MegaEnduras that's what I've been saying for years all this genetic mutations and what not all from nukes n chemicals
i bet aliens have this videos on their version of UA-cam marked as pranks gone wrong

What about the screen preview? A smiling Donald with a double thumbs up wearing an "i'm the best fuck the rest" written shirt riding a nuclear bomb?
It’s helps to know they loved until their 80s despite cancer. (Fighting it myself).
Sorry to hear that keep fighting and never lose hope!!
You can do it dude
We're all with you
Keep on fighting!! May the lord be with you the whole way!
Me and my kitties wish you the best of luck and strength to get through this. My 19yr old kitty had to be layed to rest in Sept 20th last year. I pray to him always to protect me an other. He's my kitty god. I'll pray to him to watch over you and protect you. He is a very special kitty. I'm sure he will be grateful to help with my request. Just ask kiki for some extra strength some days you're feeling low. He's the one in my photo.
Wishing you the best! 💪🏻
Yup, my grandparents were in Waipahu when Starfish disrupted the town, they literally thought the world had ended.
My mom and dad were military doctors who were actually in a nuclear test detonation. When they got older they began to show signs of the radiation from the test.
Goldsboro was a Broken Arrow, not a detonation (thankfully.) If you want a screwed up test go with Castle Bravo. Castle Bravo was supposed to be a 4-8 megaton yield. Due to an oversight by Los Alamos National Laboratory physicists, the actual yield was closer to 15 mega tons, the result drove the test equipment off the chart and nearly killed everyone on the island.
Ken Mason it's crazy I am from NC and never knew about this. Our luck would be to drop a nuke on ourselves lmao. Amazing
hotbam37 at least yours isnt leaking yet (koff Koff Hanford koff koff) unlike where I live...
Did they forget to convert from metric again? Damn it, metric system! lol
Operation Plowshare detonated 3 nukes in Colorado. Trying to frack with nukes. One site the oil companies tried to tap in 2014, and when they were asked what did they plan to do about the radiation in the gas, they told the commission they didn't think the radiation would be an issue.
Happy to hear that the corporate USA is looking out for us.
They did not get permission to tap the gas.
You will be even happier to know that most of the 2nd bomb was never recovered. The 2nd bomb hit a muddy field without it's parachute and was buried so deep that they gave up on trying to find it. The uranium and plutonium core are still there.
Great video, very interesting and well done. Great commentary as well 👍
I wish we could all learn to live alongside each other without the threat of weapons
I have a friend whose father was one of the soldiers who was sent in to an explosion site in Nevada moments after the event. The poor man suffered from cancer the rest of his life. More will die slowly from fallout than from the explosion.
There was a British test (I believe thermonuclear) where they had soldiers sitting a "safe" distance from the blast, faced away from it and their hands covering their face. One of the soldiers reported that despite all of that, the blast was so bright, the light came through their hands and eyelids and he could see his bones like an x-ray.
X-rays do cause radiation

Isn’t that where there all on the ships didn’t know it was British
nexus1g ...my father attended the British tests in South Australia, fresh out of Royal Military College Duntroon. He died aged 39 in 1975. More than 20 of his colleagues (mainly infantry) died the same year. I remember it well, because I went to every funeral...we all knew each other, being army brats. I was 12.
My eyes have actually witnessed several nuclear explosions. As a kid back in the late 50's, we would stand outside looking south toward JackAss Flats to see the flash of above ground detonations. It was public knowledge when they were to be done so we watched. Thank goodness we were up wind. We were at Lake Tahoe at approximately 7000 feet.
That's horrifying, you guys definitely had it rough then, I imagine.. bless you for witnessing it.
My ex's Dad worked mornings outside in the LA area...one twilight morning the sky to the east lit up then dimmed....he later found out it was an above nuke test out in Nevada or New Mexico...he didn't have the exact date
@@chrisvesy7245 He was probably seeing tests in Nevada because the Las Vegas area is not that far from LA. I am hoping that I am not around to be involved in WW3.

The thing about saving the world is, that it never ends. Every time you save the world from something, you got to do it again for something else. That's why I'm on Team Evil: once we destroy the world, that'll be it. No more work.
The answer is clearly biodegradable nukes.
Interesting. Thanks for posting this.
A friend of mine was a soldier stationed and positioned somewhat close to an above ground or possibly underground nuclear explosion in Nevada in the middle 1960s. He did not suffer cancel but his gonads were radiated so that he was unable to have children.
the explosions.....they are beautiful
From safe distance. Provided you weren't in the cast or crew of The Conquerorwith John Wayne. They shot on "location"supposedly outer Mongoliaon irradiate desert-and a lot of them died about it!
#1 should have been the Castle Bravo shot on Bikini Atoll in 1954. It was way more
powerful than predicted--15 megatons instead of 6. It was the most powerful device
detonated by the USA, and the Bikini is still unsafe for habitation. #1 on this list wasn't
a detonation, thankfully.
Tuco Pacifico Thank you ! I couldn't believe that wasn't on here, and not number one. Lithium 7 is inert. No need to separate it from the lithium 6. Whoops. It only threw it off by 3x the expected yield. Did one of the scientists just say "Oh sorry. My bad." What do you even say when you fuck up that bad ?
Listening to the guys that were on the ships talk about it is crazy. Trying to put yourself in their place and imagine what it was like. It must have been overwhelming in size. One of those shocking moments where you actually forget to breathe for a minute. I've watched every documentary on UA-cam that I could find on Castle Bravo, and tons of others so far. Fascinating stuff.
section8usmc53 definitely agree here. I'm a huge nuke history buff myself, and as far as calculating big mistakes, Castle Bravo took the cake.
section8usmc53 definitely agree here. I'm a huge nuke history buff myself, and as far as calculating big mistakes, Castle Bravo took the cake.
If any of the people directly involved would have actually understood the underlying Physics involved they would have realized that Li-7 would boost the yield. Extra Proton? Extra boom. Why else would you use elements with a large amount of protons to create such a bomb to start with?
Agree, that crater in the Nevada desert was like a mouse fart compared to Bravo. Bravo turned a mile wide crater of earth/ocean into pure snow-like fallout. You'd think they'd realize after Crossroads and Ivy Mike that detonating nukes next to the ground is very very bad :\
Castle Bravo: Hold my isotopes..
Was expecting it to be in the list tbh
The Castle Bravo fusion bomb test was 2.5 times more powerful than predicted. Observation crews had to be evacuated and naval personnel were trapped on ships for an expanded time. Because of a difference in wind direction in the various strata, it spread radioactivity over inhabited islands and onto a Japanese fishing boat.
The Béryl incident was a French test in Algeria. A spiral tunnel was used to seal the explosion. As the explosion progressed, the force would cause the tunnel to collapse. This worked in the previous test, but not in this one. Radioactive materials spewed out of the hole exposing officials and soldiers.
Since the nuke didn't explode in N.C., this was not a nuclear detonation which went wrong.
Yet
Youd think Bravo would have made the list, it was only 3 time worse than predicted.
I was disappointed this one wasn't on the list. That was a pretty big screw up.
Watching this I'm surprised we are still here.

That's why it was called the atomic age.

I've seen many horrifying things on UA-cam, but none so much as an armed nuclear bomb hanging from a tree. I wonder if anyone saw it come down?
I can name 2 that did the job

Great video
12mill views bro Well done
How did they miss the Castle Bravo shot in 1954. The estimated yield was 6 megatons, the actual yield was 15 megatons, with massive fallout problems, as it was a surface burst. Second, even that shot did not kill personnel on adjacent islands in the Bikini Atoll, No US nuclear weapon would have a 100% kill zone of 23 kilometers. Where they got that, I have no idea. Nuclear weapon effects are quite well covered in a range of textbooks.
My dad was an Air Force pilot and was a cloud sampler during Castle Bravo and a few others. I wonder what they did with the cloud samples they brought back? I know there were certain procedures for the pilot and the aircraft, but what do you do with a cloud sample after you're done with it?
They also had a suprise when they detonated the nuke under water. they where going to try 3 of those but after the first suprise they cancelled the other 2.
I am surprised this wasn't on the list as it was the largest test by far. The Islands are still inhabitable to this day, the islands that survived.
I was thinking the same thing.
That was a gross miscalculation on that one.
100% kill zone of 23 kilometers sounds like the Tsar Bomba.
I was 6 months old when the B 52 crashed and we have always heard the stories about it. There is an area of the corn field where the bombs landed with signs and fencing around it. There is also an easement to digging more than three feet in the area around the crash site.
I heard they only found one and one is still missing.

How bad do you have to screw up to make your boss volunteer you to stand under a nuclear bomb......

@@whitepolarbearmc8367 then it turns out to be a crap from an airplane.

Don't catch any planes then, because the amount you pick up on a plane is more than an x ray
What's the science behind it? People have different susceptibility to it?

If you’ve seen The Day After, this is exactly what the first burst over Kansas City was.
For those who lived in the Northern US, do you remember being told on the evening weather reports not to eat the new snow falling? Upper winds had changed and radiation from recent a-bomb tests was being blown into the northern US snow storms.
yes , my dad warned us, so we did not eat any
They told us to shut up and drink your radioactive milk.
I ate so much I blew out my sphincter.
I like how the diagram of where the fallout landed specifically landed in my county in Indiana.... This explains a lot.
Great video
Would appreciate you using the Imperial measurement system for your videos as well.
I remember watching a documentary about the soldiers who were exposed to that nuke in your ad pic. I wish I could remember the name.
There are two thoughts that we humans have when we discover a new energetic reaction:
1. Let's blow something up with it.
2. How can we use it to kill people?
And this is why aliens don't stop and say hello.
aliens dont want smoke
Alien life sends auto-programmed probes to measure and test what's happening on Earth. I saw one. Apparently, they're programmed to fly over known water sources.
😂😂😂LMMFAO.
Oliver 2000 wtf are you talking about that was war and not everyone was a civilian.
Ollie, I'm serious you really need to crack a history book. "No warning was given that nuclear warfare would be used....". They didn't TELL them that it would be nuclear, BUT, they did tell them at least twice to surrender. Dumbos didn't/ wouldn't listen...Boom!!!
What about Castle Bravo (16 Megatons) underestimation?
WHAT ABOUT 50 MEGATONS RUSSIAN BOMB?
Huge underestimation on the yield due to 7-LiD not being accounted for in the fission yield estimates.
Exactly. People actually died and some places are irradiated to this very day because of that... so I'm not sure how that didn't make the list, but a few dudes sitting under a tiny nuke who didn't actually die did make the list.
Thing is: that #4 nuke wasn't even a bomb if I saw things correctly. It was an early air intercept missile with a nuclear warhead (AIM-2 if I am not mistaken). That thing didn't have guidance and was designed to detonate in proximity to soviet bombers of that time.
That one didn't go wrong - read the title.
Everybody gangsta til everyone at the test gets cancer
Edit: most survived and lived out to old age
0:02 10 year old me just finished playing ww2 : I got a game idea hunt the nuke
Nice video dude. I really appreciate you not wasting time or lingering on any one thing for too long. That's how you do it. You were fast paced enough to even sneak in some humor here and there. Nice job.
well thank god you approve, jeez
I've been at the Sedan crater and it is BIG. It is scary specially considering most of the crater was made from melting and compressing the earth rather than throwing dust out. The whole nevada test site is scary. So many small craters and explosion sites.
Wow what beautiful information .
im surprised that you didnt mention the castle-bravo test
I really needed this video to end with "And remember, have nice day.."
Proof that the government always has our best interest at heart yeah right

Here because of what happened in Beruit.
👏
What has that to do with nuclear tests?
Nuclear weapons: not a subject where you EVER want to hear someone say "Oops!"
Get under the explosion they said you're gonna have fun they said..... Boom cancer what a plot twist
Maybe this is why cancer is so prevalent!!!
Man, that first exploaiin looked like the evil eye from sauron. Scary
Looks like Castle Bravo at the very end. The personal at the firing bunker for Bravo barely got out with their lives, the test yield was much greater than anticipated.
I love how the 15's have better quality than the 19's
I'm sorry, am I missing something in this title? Is there any way in which a nuclear detonation can go "right"?
Yeah, by scaring potential invasions away...
+231mac if you get invaded you won't be able to use nuclear weapons.
DarkWolfSoul Wild Nukes are a deterrent from getting invaded in the first place and who says you can't use them on the invaders soil after you get invaded?
or all around between mexico and canada .....i am allways scared how low the information to normal people is how harmful such weapons are ALL of us !!!!
the fallout created by the testing of nukes in the 50-70s are responsible for thousand or even millions of cancer all over the world , depending on wind , water shifting ...etc. and this fucking stuff stays there for the lifetime of numerous generations .
beside politics or whatever , cernobyl for example will be a thread to safe life in europe / ukraine / russia not for years , but for centuries ........i doubt in centuries there is any gouvernment left similar to today .
mankind hat to get rid of nukes , and throw the key away !
its like glas tube with plague virals and having playing kids to play with them in your house .

*BONUS ROUND!*
In the 1950s, a weapon devised for the portable deployment of small nuclear explosives - the M-29 Davy Crockett - was created and field tested. The device was to be operated by two or three soldiers, in that the equipment was small enough to be carried or - more likely - transported via army jeep. It was essentially, a smoothbore cannon on tripod and a nuclear armament the size of a watermelon. Testing of this weapon revealed that you *could* fire a low-yield nuclear explosive over a fair distance without being caught in the explosion...but that you could never escape the fallout, even after immediately gunning it in a jeep. One stiff breeze and you're cooked.
Honestly, I'm surprised nobody tried to *carpet bomb* with these things. Some people are just crazy.
“5 volunteers required!”
“What for Sarge?
“To stand under a nuke…”
“Yeah…….right…..”
The cameraman didn't volunteer. He was a civilian contractor.
Those Nevada testings didn't just affect those 6 men standing underneath, it als affected all of the towns around it and Northwestern Arizona and Southwestern Utah. Many of the citizens received large payouts that got cancer from these testings.
Those in charge should have been shot
Only Top 5? I counted over 2000 nuclear detonations that went wrong.
good point, when has a nuclear explosion ever been a good thing?
When used to blow up an asteroid that is headed for earth. J/K I know that wouldn't work.

well it might, you never know

If it could be stopped by a nuke then it wasn't that big of a threat.
It ended world war 2, and saved many lives by doing so. An imperfect solution to a less than perfect problem but nonetheless.
It should be noted that the usa feared that the starfish nuke would open a hole in the ozone however they went along with it anyways after hypothesizeling that the waves caused by the explosion would even out the atmosphere and close the hole. The scary thing is that they never planned for a worse case scenario had the hole not closed.
I like how NATO is like "we wanna create world peace" and look at them, like wtf, those nukes are gonna break the ozone layer
I wanted to ask a completely unique and original question about this video. I was wondering; what about Castle Bravo?
Join the crowd, who've already asked.
l8tbraker lol I thought it was obvious that I was joking...
Yes, but I couldn't resist....
This click bait fucker did little to no fucking research.
icemasterk this wasnt clickbait you fucking idiot
'Then they all got cancer..'
lol
YES! THEY DID!
Interesting video.
First of all, Top Notch Mic Quality :D
The elements of life : water, soil and air .....they have left nothing. ...contaminated everything. .
They'll not be happy till they have destroyed everyone end everything! Then it'll be goodbye man and the earth can go back to the animals who look after it far better!

You people must be fun at parties...
The only thing we have left is most metals made before trinity was tested in 1945.. so keep those metallic non radioactive items.. they may be valuable one day. All current metal melted after 1945 has a small amount of radioactivity.. this is sad to me.
Vijay Malagimani oh boohoo everyting!
Castle Bravo should be on the list. The explosion was 2.5 times stronger than they thought and lots of radiation went everywhere.
Yes, and it WAS an explosion, while the B-52 incident over North Carolina was not. Then too there was the Atlas missile which exploded in the silo in Arkansas, due to accident compounded by mistakes. The rocket burned until it exploded, and the 5-megaton nuke was launched out by the chemical blast, and buried itself in the dirt when it came back down. Lotsa fun! :/
Damn, I'm glad I switch my lightbulb off to save energy.
Thanks 🙏
All countries use soldiers as toilet paper
I wish my pal had realized that. Before he threw his life away, for nothing.
I recently read someone’s comment under a YT video that basically says the word soldier is a portmanteau of “soul” and “die” to mean soul-to-die. Hmmm!
A really important toilet paper then. If we don't have soldiers and others do, what are we going to do when they come knocking violently?
@USA THE GREAT Christian countries kill people for material things and in the name of their god
You're the name of our God? Wow- your parents must be proud.
One day 👽 will say...
Once there were living species on the Earth...
They were so intelligent that they made bomb and killed everyone with it..
lol true
😂🤣
They're just waiting for the superior stupid jeans again again and
Intelligent? They won't be talking about you
@@joeberth-jones1910 won't be talking about me?????
Haha!! Who cares !!!!
I was in Hawaii during Starfish Prime in 1962. I remember it lighting up the night sky and the next day all the traffic lights were out in Honolulu.
100% kill zone from 20kms is insane!
No nuclear detonation can ever go wrong.

When the fuck did he say that?

You missed castle bravo. They thought the lithium 7 would not react with the lithium 6 during detonation and produced an explosion 3 times bigger than expected.
Never heard of it....I now have something to google
4.34 AM, recommend, for whatever reason
Brain: why not!
i like how in nr4 cameraman ask for protection but didnt get any ahahha
Keeping us safe while we sleep. Yup.
I was lucky enough to see the sedan crater in person thanks to a program at UNLV. It was one of the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It was crazy to see how much earth could be moved in just one explosion.
Lucky you! I would love to visit some day. It's about a 2 hour drive from Las Vegas so I should make a day trip.
Those bombs must have affected our weather system for sure 🥺
Not necessarily. Weather systems are significantly larger than the impact area of a thermonuclear bomb.
But you can find the data for this question with minimal research.
@@ems7623 yeah you know..shake my head...all these know it alls misinformed and uneducated statements😂🤣🤔
