Edward Teller was a maniacal misanthrope.

Who sepia-toned this B&W film??

Soo many little white AstroDomes with a telescope and two men inside, sweating or freezing their asses off. :) Ten times that many AstroDomes at White Sands. They also tried out a Naval gun & turret at NST, for observing fireballs - most likely for getting accurate yield measurements. They could turn the turret around to point at different towers.

There was a supposed Broken Arrow exercise which there is film of on YT, but whoever built the mockup for the bomb (hilariously sticking out of the ground in one piece like a poster) got the fin shape wrong.

I am not an atomic playboy.

Everyone else here is arguing with phantoms and meanwhile I'm sitting here like "dayum that says this video was uploaded 17 years ago!"

Stupid Americans 😡😡😡😡

bro there’s 61 more of these?

8:42 This is the first and only reference to "Hi Wire" I've ever found. I was Ship's Company on this very ship, USS Independence from 1988-1992. I was part of the Hi Wire team. Now, I can neither confirm nor deny that there were nuclear weapons on board my ship. I will say that any time "special weapons" were out of their magazines, they would call a High Wire on the 1MC. During a High Wire, large sections of the ship were secured, particularly the forward and aft mess decks and both hanger bays, and only certain sailors could be on those sections. I was stationed as a nozzleman on one of the fire hoses in hanger bay one. Sometimes they called a Hi Wire to on load special weapons. Sometimes it was a drill. The last Hi Wire I was was the longest one, sometime in late 1991. It took several hours. We were far off the coast of California. The ship stopped moving, and they brought up dozens and dozens of special weapons into hanger bay one that day. They were loading them up on elevators and going up to the flight deck. Large helicopters were orbiting over head. Some would leave carrying very large metal boxes. Apparently, this was the result of the START treaty that was signed on July, 1991.

Er...the conclusion seems to be that a 5Mt nuclear weapon will kill everyone nearby. I could have told them that beforehand and saved them a lot of time and effort.

1:37 This isn't true. Major Swancutt ran a bombing accuracy competition to see who would drop the "Able" device during Crossroads. Then the day before he decided he'd do it because he thought he'd get a promotion. Sadly, he'll always be remembered as the guy who missed by a country mile and wasted 1 of the 12 atomic bombs that America had at the time. What a donuts.

The Navy was butt hurt that the Army and the Air Force had a nuke, and they did not. They wanted to get their hands on one also in the worst way.

37:40 Listen very carefully to what the weatherman says here. Basically, he says the fallout will go SE towards Mexico. Dr AC Graves then polls his experts on a go/no go on the test. They don't actually say this, but Basically, they say that Mexicans are stupid, that personally, they don't know any Mexicans, and that they'll be getting paid a bonus for finishing this blast on time, so who give a flying [redacted] about Pedro in guadalajara. These guys were ghouls. You should see the test (operation Cue, I think) where they put about 20-25 pigs in pens. These pens had the side facing the test built of plate glass. The test was to assess blast fragment Injuries. As the test begins, there is a flash of light and the pigs are running around on fire for 2-3 seconds. Then the blast arrives and the little piggies get made into bacon coleslaw. These pigs are definitely NOT euthanized before or after the shot. Instead those still alive were treated to the highest standards. But don't get your hopes up, after a month all the surviving piggies got the chop and were then dissected. Isn't science fun!!

DING!!

Operation Hardtack cost $160,000,000. That didn't include nuclear materials, fuel, food, wear and tear on ships and planes, etc. 20 years later, one of the lawyers representing the Marshall islanders said that getting $40,000,000 out of the US government was like pulling out your own wisdom teeth. If anyone out there thinks that the US government treated these people okay, I suggest you look for the UNEDITED film of commodore Wyatt USN "asking" King Juda to "temporarily" evacuate his kingdom for US nuclear testing to begin. Then read the treaty. The film is all nice and smiles. The treaty is full of threats, slippery legal BS, literally drips racism and is essentially theft of land, ethnic cleansing and a clause that allows the US to collect samples and study any medical issues in the islanders, without informing anyone of the results. In 1986, after Chernobyl, Brookhaven national laboratory (I think) was asking for funds to study the effects in people contaminated. Someone pointed out that they already knew the answers from the ONGOING study of those contaminated during the Castle Bravo disaster in 1954. The comment was later removed from the meetings notes. Only one other group of people have radiation induced injury, deformity, and mortality as bad as the islanders. And they live in villages downwind of the former russian nuclear test site at Semipalatinsk, in Kazakhstan. The uncomfortable truth is that the US government didn't give two hoots about the Marshall islanders rights, health or wellbeing because they were, are, and always will be, black.

I'm looking up Bartitsu videos, and this popped up. Looks like I'm watching this now. Thanks UA-cam.

I wonder how many of those troops ended up with cancer years later?

So it's like a drinking straw for your nuke. Cool!

Why does the initial ivy Mike shot look like film rills burning ?

3:40 Loves how hes like " I know we are taping but I want to hit my pipe, the test can wait" takes hit off vape...

a kiss from a rose???????Someone stole that intro music for a major motion picture or a hit single I’m sure.

@48:32 *"History, in order to be successful, must be negotiated in absolute secrecy."* -- Henry Kissinger

The films soundtrack is fronting "Lassie" but serves up nuclear fall out and various cancers

You’d be shot for even seeing this info in the 1950s

Pay attention now

5:53 that magically appearing car always gets me... 🤣😂🤣😂

The tree of life

At 21:31 it looks like "Balance of Terror" weapon from TOS ... maybe Roddenberry saw some of this

Wow 16 years ago I heard this and woke up. What has happened since then so much had changed she was right... And she has been attacked ruthlessly

This is excellence. Thanks for sharing. :) #veganism(s)

That's were the "Fallout 3" game got the idea for the M42 "Fat Man" launcher?

0:42 in, my favorite part already is the newspaper's 2nd-tier headline about the CIA-led coup that overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran. Our government sure was busy effing things up! 😅

Other than Silver Plate B29s from ww2, how soon were other aircraft deployed with newer atomic weopens?

8:37 - Those are modified Mk-5 reentry vehicles from the Minuteman I.

0:25 - Introducing Rear Admiral Mumbles.

Interesting films. I was in Weapons in the Air Force and went through Lowry AFB Special Weapons School. I was in SAC for about 15 months loading some of these bad boys. My roommate was also in Weapons but was assigned to their maintenance and testing. He had the "inside information" while I only loaded them. Talking "shop" was strictly forbidden even though we each had Top Secret clearances. I never questioned and he never volunteered information. It was very serious business for a couple of young men who had not reach 21 yet.

The first mass produced nuclear weapon in history

You folks better watch out .. P3ace .. A+ ..

No video

Whats the yield? 5 megatons?

biffed the audio too

Small nuclear bomb

Nice Firing.Good capabilities can go England, India and can come back to USA.Very very nice footage.Very very important nice video.Two enemies name England & India.-Field Marshall Md. Mehdi Hasan.

Doing a 1st of it's kind global genetic study for those of us directly exposed to these and more nuclear weapons tests, it's safe to say, 3 generations later the ionizing radiation has altered roughly 1.5 million lives.
