Nuclear Weapons in HD. Holy fucking shit (Trinity & Beyond in Blu-ray)

[booster]

I myself have never seen these clips in HD. And holy shit I gotta admit, it really brings an entire new perspective to nukes.

Beautiful yet terrifying.

I'm not sure if the audio is authentic, but the actual video footage is.

I kind of wish there were timestamps on the larger ones, all the footage I've seen used in documentaries are either insanely sped up or down, depending on if it's to scare or to talk over, and if it's so big, the scale is pretty hard to imagine

Christ, beautiful yet terrifying indeed, especially the Castle Bravo one

[Canned Induvidu]

I'm so there. This still freaks the dead fuck out of me

[Liem]

That's Beautiful, But deadly, so deadly. Lets hope that we never have to use them again

[[Seed Eater]]

As much as mushroom clouds mesmerize me, and the power of the nuclear bomb is attractive to me, nuclear wars are one of the only things that truly terrify me.

[The Vman]

15 seconds in the third video is breathtaking. Especially in fullscreen.

Pretty awesome looking, especially the one with the houses.

[smurfy]

Castle Bravo clip was the best

[marden]

30,000 men died in a blink of an eye. And the world just fucking watched.

[pessimistic]

The underwater one scares the shit out of me.

[Saxon]

Dat bass on the 4th video

Left my sound up too high and it shook the entire house

[durkhaz]

Thanks for sharing!

Imagine it's just cthulhu coming out of the water.

[Strider77]

We will never have to use them again. To use a weapon of that scale on another country is to use it upon ones own country. Mutually Assured Destruction.

[gman003-main]

Sweet. I have the DVD, it's awesome. When I finally get a Blu-Ray player, I'm totally getting this.

On the old DVD version, they have one clip where the audio is completely raw - exactly what the microphones recorded. It has a "may cause damage to your audio system" warning.

Nuclear weapons are so incredibly interesting to me. Terrifying, but beautiful, like a dangerous wild animal. Just the idea that so many man-hours of work and years of human achievement can go into building a city and they can all be erased in an instant through fission.

[bull04]

Holy fuck I love how awesome they look. The amount of destruction just scares me though. If one of these were dropped on a city, holy fuck.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The infrared radiation of the explosion is so intense, that within a certain radius, this is all that was left of people:

They're shadows of the human remains that burned up instantly and the material directly behind them was shielded and not instantly burnt, and thus left behind the black shadow.

Another example:

Reminds me of an X-Files episode

[Scoops]

I hope I never see one in real life, but damn that beautiful.

I've always wanted to see how a nuke would look through a high-speed camera.

The first milliseconds looks something like this

I want it

[Boozy&Bitter]

The size of those explosions is horrifying.

[Mr.Cookie]

This is why I don't like the idea of certain countries being in possession of so many of them. I'm looking at you America and Russia.

[Bad Reading]

tsar bomba was best atom bomb

[chimitos]

The last one with the ship is crazy when you compare the size of the water column to the ship and how far away it must be (from how long the wave took to get there.)

[doonbugie2]

amazing footage

[AtomicDongo]

Holy shit those look awesome.

[ignhelper]
