Gld you mentioned this. I have been binge watching documentaries about nukes recently (thanks to Oppenheimer). The nukes we have now will make these ones look like a picnic. Scary.
After the Castle Bravo incident the military got a bit spooked of what else might get mixed up in a thermonukes second stage if it's surrounded by dense hydrogen and such so they only used ordinary nukes around water since, hence the lower yields.
A 'low' yield for a nuclear weapon is still an awful lot of explosion. The last test here at _only_ 10 kilotons still represents ten thousand tons of high explosive, which would be roughly equivalent to the 'Thousand Bomber Raid' of WWII. Not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki count as 'low' yields these days.
They were still doing Duck and Cover drills when I was high school during the air raid siren tests once a month. It never failed...after the drill was over, somebody would ask ''What do you do in case of fallout?'' The smartass would then reply ''Reinsert and shorten stroke''. We had a Chrysler hemi powered air raid siren about 10 miles away. The sound of that thing was terrifying and would make your hair stand up.

@@MRblazedBEANS Yes it's THAT! It's a little known side effect of waterborne nuclear blasts. They can produce some very large hailstones. Castle Bravo produced 50 to 100 lb hailstones once the mushroom cloud cooled.
In the "Size comparison" video, I used footage of “Trinity”, “Mike” and “Tsar” explosions because I knew the exact size of the fireball and cloud in the video. In addition, these are the most famous tests. Therefore, I doubt that I will make another similar video. but I'll think of ideas.
I recently watched a video about the theoretical detonation of a nuke at the bottom of the marianas trench and what the result would be on the surface. As it turns out, the result would be pretty much unnoticable. It turns out that 7 miles down the ocean would absorb the blast easily do to the massive pressures at that depth.
All the dead sea life these must have caused, and then other fish would have eaten the remains and passed on a cancerous dominos effect through the chain, people would have ingested some of the fallout over the years.
People lived there. I think the pacific islanders are still trying to sue the US government because so many of them ended up sick or having kids with birth defects. It's still happening today
Nice shots! I wonder how many Documentaries use "Wahoo" footage for "Baker" given it's much better quality. Depending on the definition of "underwater", one could include "Redwing: Seminole" since it was detonated inside a water tank. Was done due to ground coupling studies though and not an underwater effects test.
I remember the underwater/inside-sub camera shot from Trinity and Beyond, and to this day, I still think that footage is not real and/or staged. The bubbles and inrush of water seem way to sudden. Any why would the camera rock back and forth, assuming it's fixed in position? The frame of reference wouldn't move like that. Perhaps how subs react to atomic weapons may have remained classified, hence why that footage may be staged for a "release.". Just my opinion.
Maybe this class of weapon is fake. B and C weapons are banned, but not A weapons. I came to the conclusion space is fake, so why wouldn‘t they go through the same effort to fake A weapons.
We have lived in an unprecedented time of peace, because free nations have prevented a Depraved Communist Soviet Union from putting one of these, on 🫵🏻 head…
One interesting observation can be made from the films itself: American films are rich in color and are clear, Soviet color film shots are very faint (almost black-and-white) and full of traces of dust and other dirt. Quite telling...
If you slow the video down to 1/4 speed, at 1:57 you can stop it frame by frame and see the instantaneous flooding of the target submarine. Pretty cool, and chilling if you think about how fast a Submariner's life gets snuffed out at those depths.
I am researching where to find the copyright owner if this footage so as to be able to gain permission to use it in a documentary film as well as obtain as high a resolution video copy of the film footage as is possible.
"to test the effects of nuclear weapons..." Let's see- blown up, burned up, or contaminated with radiation. Didn't they learn from Hiroshima and Nagasaki???
All underwater nuclear tests?? Maybe that depends on your interpretation. What about the tests carried out by the French at Moruroa Atoll between 1966 and 1996? They tested in the lagoon and then, after a protest from New Zealand, carried out testing in bore holes under the Atoll.
One thing nobody that studies these ever mentions is the effects of underwater explosions on the shorelines of the nearest land. Did they cause tsunamis? If so how large? I can't imagine that that large of explosions didn't affect nearby islands at all. The blast should have pushed a huge bubble of atomic gasses and steam in the area of the blast, and the water collapsing back in should have caused tsunamis for thousands of miles. Maybe small, maybe large, but there should have been an effect. What was it?
It was certainly studied but from what I understand no underwater detonation has ever caused a "tsunami" wave more than trivial height - well within protective range of normal coastal defences. Even the tsar bomb could have only released something like 0.015% the energy of the 2011 Japanese tsunami. The actual explosion might get close to the energy output but the nuclear reaction only sustains it for a millionth of a second. An earthquake releases it for far longer. It's for this reason Russia's Poseidon torpedo which they claim can totally destroy whole islands (including a direct threat to submerge the UK somehow) is considered to be a joke and bad propaganda meme. Sure, if you set one off in the bay of a port you can cause some serious infrastructure damage, but nowhere near as much damage as an ordinary airburst weapon would cause. The real horror of underwater nuclear detonations is the radiation. They are extremely dirty bombs and if you are going to detonate them on someone's coastline, it's done purely as a spite weapon, meant to poison the water, kill the local marine life and leave the beaches as a no-man's land. So sorry to the Russians but no, Poseidon would not hit New York with a 200m tidal wave as claimed. But it will be an environmental disaster on an unprecedented scale.
@@CountScarlioni Thank you! Its hard to find that info. Been wondering for a while. I didn't know how much water was displaced by a blast, and what happened when the cleared area refills. I could picture a wave being made though. I can definitely see the radiation being bad. An air burst sends the radiation every way, underwater it has only one place to go.
My father, Ray A Johnsen was a naval officer on the ship that brought the first bomb to bikini atoll, called Baker, and operstion cross roads, in 1946. He almost didn't get to go, because the FBI found that his wife's aunt, had joined the Communuist party in seattle in 1937. He was outside on the ship, whe it went off 11,000 yards away, and wound up dying of cancer, in 1987. I am now in the process of putting a claim in for his death, under a US Program for sons and daughters of people who died because of those tests. They say I will recieve the 75K, about november of this year. They also said there is a bill in congress to souble that amount. If you think your father or Mother was at those tests, you should look into it....good luck...
Something that you could never test in real life but that I would LOVE to see is: detonating something like the Tsar Bomba (50 Megatons) out in the Pacific Ocean. Like 2 or 3Km below the surface with several more Km to go to the bottom.

They say I will recieve the 75K, about november of this year. They also said there is a bill in congress to souble that amount. If you think your father or Mother was at those tests, you should look into it....good luck...
ı did not know they compansate officers who got radiation in army.
for asbostos yes.
MILHÕES DE VIDAS MARINHAS DESTRUÍDAS! - À QUE TROCO?
2:00 No, they were nuking Godzilla
So funny to hear how he pronounces "Tchernaya guba" (wrong)
I can't believe they named it Wahoo
there that black tnt smoke clouds
What about the fishes and another animal 💔
I wish the U.S. didn’t cancel the deep water test...... always was curious about what that woulda looked like....
my great gpa was on the wigwam one crazy they got videos of this shit
So basically,most ships and submarines can survive a nuclear or hydrogen bomb.
Cannot imagine how many fishes came afloat belly up.☹
All wildlife undersea past away. Sadness....
And were only talkin bout kilotons imagine a 40 megaton you can blast my whole country away
Remember no fish was died during this test.
All these tests without any regards to marine life and the environment!
very sad.. they kill innocent fish
Including humans with cancer.
Imagine under water Tsar.
They said they were safe but didnt tell you about the village on an Island 80miles away which was wiped out by slabs of falling whale blubber
We men are wretched creatures
Do you mean megatons? Nuclear weapons are measured in megatons. Older atomic weapons are measured in kilotons
Something that you could never test in real life but that I would LOVE to see is: detonating something like the Tsar Bomba (50 Megatons) out in the Pacific Ocean. Like 2 or 3Km below the surface with several more Km to go to the bottom.
Why??? So killing marine lifes ok....lets test one in your back garden then.....thought not
How old are you?!
@@Brocambro1 thought same... 👍
