Man things do look more epic in HD...

[acds]

Nukes are so interesting due to how extremely awe inspiring, awesome looking and terrifying they are. If they weren't so dangerous, we probably would not be even a bit as interested by them.

Also have some very sombre (and fitting) music to go with them:

If there is any song that they got spot on in this movie. It's this one.

Shit gets real at 0:30 and 1:24

Someone should make a :frog: .gif out of the third video.

What's the smoke/vapour that comes off the bus and the car at the moment of the explosion, before the blastwave hits? Radiation rapidly evaporating moisture on them?

I always thought it was the paint going up into smoke from the heat.

The explosion is so hot, the light from it scorches everything in the blast radius. Incinerating paint off cars and lighting tents and buildings on fire.

It's paint burning off. In some defense manuals they advise you to paint the windows of your house with white wash so it'll burn off the paint and reflect the heat enough to keep the inside of the house from igniting. The outside will be severely burned but the inside should hold up assuming you're outside the major shockwave.

I wonder if I'd feel a thing if I was standing 100m away from the warhead.

Trinity and beyond is awesome.

And nukes in space is pretty good too.

You would disappear within seconds.

The nuke in the first video left a crater with a diameter of 2000m

[AtomicWaffle]

I -think- that the Megaton nuke effect in Fallout 3 was based partly on the fourth video.

You would cease to exist in an instant.

You'd probably have it best off of everyone who gets killed by it. Getting vaporized is a lot quicker than getting your organs crushed by a pressure wave or melting from radiation poisoning.

[doonbugie2]

But I'd probably feel some sort of pain for a milisecond or so. I'm debating weather I'd want to vaporize(which might hurt like hell for a milisecond) or go live in some remote town in the forest.

You would probably be incinerated before your nerves managed to send the electrical pain impulses into your brain.

"Our Civil Defense workers and our men in uniform will do everything they can to warn us before enemy planes can bring a bomb near us."

They still need to work on that a bit. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor happened, the guys working defense were caught off-guard with the oncoming Japanese planes even with all of their equipment. Then during 9/11 everyone was caught off-guard with the planes crashing into the towers. I feel safe knowing there's a powerful guard always working to protect us. What scares me a little is that planes can come in unnoticed and make a successful attack.

Your eyeballs and your skin would melt. And then you'd turn into dust.

But since you'd be so close, you would die within the blink of an eye.

I'm still extremely astonished of the Tsar Bomba

Even if you stood [B]100km[/B] away from ground zero, you'd still get third-degree burns.

This nuke is the singlemost physically powerful device ever used by humans.

And to think it was a scaled down version of the 100mt bomb they planned to build. I can't even imagine the enviromental problems the entire planet would suffer from a 100mt bomb.

How could anyone forget this?

Even the fireball it created was over 8 kilometers in diameter and windows were broken 900 kilometers away, huge thing.

In 10 seconds, a single A-Bomb can create more destruction than you could in you're entire life.

What if you create a hydrogen bomb. Technically its not a A-bomb and you created it yourself.

Well depends a lot on the resources at your disposal.
