Nuclear Detonation Video

Post by Bertie Wooster »

Link

I'm curious about this video for anyone who has background knowledge of it. Are all the different shots showing the same atomic explosion?
What's the approximate yield of the explosion here?

Crossroads Baker. Around twenty three kilotons detonated 90 feet below the water.

That's actually an excerpt from Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie.

Thanks Einhander :)

Damn, that's only 23 kt! Multi-megaton nukes, which would be a hundred times more powerful must pack a real nasty detonation.

I've searched far and wide for this without any luck. I guess you have to purchase some videotapes to get the real deal.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

FYI, your link fails at life. They evidently won't let you hotlink directly to content.

Copy & paste works, though.

Some good atomic explosion footage here; my personal favorite is the Atomic Cannon test. Be sure to check out page 2 and 3 as well; the second page inludes closeups of nuclear airblasts, and the third includes movies of missile launch failures; those of course aren't nuclear explosions, but they're still worth a look.
