[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;37773936]what[/QUOTE] Something went wrong when I previewed the post. Get Overv on it.

Does the sky really go from a clear blue sky to a really dark black/orange setting like that? Holy shit.

Imagine if you suddenly saw such a thing from your window. You'd have nowhere to run.

Imagine how Japan must have felt

[QUOTE=KamenMoore;37774045]Does the sky really go from a clear blue sky to a really dark black/orange setting like that? Holy shit.[/QUOTE] I think it's the camera reacting automatically to the intense brightness, thus compensates for it. In reality I think it'd look something like a gigantic sun in the sky. Though I'm not 100% sure.

Though I'm not 100% sure.[/QUOTE] That first video, I was expecting the bomb to go off and we'd see the fireball, and I thought that I couldn't see much because the sun was hitting the camera directly. And, you know, Cold War era cameras, the quality ain't too great, so, image being all messy. Then I realized it wasn't the sun, that was the fireball.

I honestly think it really does change the sky to a deep red and orange color because of the intensity of the blast.

The last one looks like some sort of mutated popcorn creature.

Love that channel. Check the film "From Trinity and beyond" if you are into this. Scary and awesome

My 11th grade history teacher has a nuclear bomb shelter in his backyard, left over from the cold war. I wonder if it would provide much shelter against these terrifying weapons?

[QUOTE=booster;37773930]Imagine if this was the last thing you saw, even though your retinae would probably become ash just by looking at it .[/QUOTE] Not a bad last thing to see. It's pretty. I mean, it's a horrible death, most likely, but for a last sight, it's nice. [editline]23rd September 2012[/editline] [video=youtube;CdRo7okHCAc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdRo7okHCAc[/video] More prettiness.

If you're not in the "totally and utterly atomized" range, I suppose it could survive. I'm no expert, of course.

Do newer nukes still leave the bombed site irradiated for decades? The thing that scares me the most about nuclear bombs isn't the blast, because that's a pretty fast looking way to die, but the fact that you'd have to go in a sealed nuclear shelter and even after the explosion is over, the thing leaves deadly radiation in the air, the soil, everything. That would cause mutations and cancer and tons of absolutely horrible ways to die.

And before you know it an entire country is in a hellstorm after only one ICBM.

Radiation also isnt just dangerous in the long term, it can be quite painful in the short term too. Baisically, depending on the dose, the first signs of acute radiation exposure are nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and then after that is cognitive impairment and seizures. After a day or two if you got a large enough dose, your skin starts showing symptoms, and can do several things depending on the amount of exposure. It can become discolored, start bleeding, and even start falling off.

This stuff really disturbs me. I've often had extremely vivid night terrors of just living an everyday day until outside of the window, I see a huge mushroom cloud. It's terrifying.

Nukes will forever haunt me :(

The cameras didn't have exposure balancing, so they would place smoked glass in front of them in order to see the details of the explosion, otherwise it would simply white out the camera. This is what it'd look like without the smoked glass: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT4mSoZsbzM&feature=related[/media]

Imagine being a camera man for something like this. Quite an experience.

Nukes are basically the worst thing ever to be created by mankind. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr7Rr33BphU[/media]
