My alarm clock.

Looks more like what would happen if gravity stopped working...everything was floating, imagine standing there it would be like in those zero g jets but on the ground

[LosttoLauren]

'caused the surface of the island above detonation to rise 25ft' Shit, thats like 8 metres

[assassin_Raptor]

Looks so crazy seeing the ground just ripple like that and then slide back and forth.

New blast mining techniques.

That music is so fucking intense. Makes the footage way more intense also

[Glorbo]

We've got the technological capability to create earthquakes
How did we even get this far

[nox]

I've seen this footage before many times but never knew just what the heck was going on. Pretty crazy stuff.

1:30 poor burds :(

[HazzaHardie]

the narration and music at the end kind of remind me of the fallout endings

[pr00ch]

Earthquakes are scary as hell.

[The Vman]

Wonder what was going through the worker's heads. Standing in front of an object that can wipe out a city. Must feel kinda cool.

I wonder if its possible to survive this. I mean, the houses look somewhat intact

You know what to request from mythbusters then.

I wonder what the underground crater looks like.

Why was this done? Just because fuck it?

the limited testing treaty meant most nuclear tests were done underground to prevent fallout

They have to be buried pretty fucking deep too, or you'd end up with even more fallout than before. IIRC, Sudan(Sedan?) was one of the most polluting nuclear tests ever, and it was tested for peaceful earthmoving, and wound up with an immensely radioactive crater(lethal dose in a matter of an hour or less), and covered a large portion of the US in fallout.
