1946 Report on the Atomic Bomb Test at Bikini Atoll in Color [4K, 50FPS]

Фильм және анимация

Nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll consisted of the detonation of 23 nuclear weapons by the United States between 1946 and 1958 on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The video is a remastered version of a newsreel report about the second detonation called Baker in the operation Crossroad.
Crossroads consisted of two detonations, each with a yield of 23 kt of TNT (96 TJ). Able was detonated over Bikini on July 1, 1946, and exploded at an altitude of 520 ft (160 m), but was dropped by aircraft about 1,500 to 2,000 ft (460 to 610 m) off target. It sank only five of the ships in the lagoon. Baker was detonated underwater at a depth of 90 ft (27 m) on July 25, sinking eight ships. The second underwater blast created a large condensation cloud and contaminated the ships with more radioactive water than was expected. Many of the surviving ships were too contaminated to be used again for testing and were sunk. The air-borne nuclear detonation raised the surface seawater temperature by 99,000 °F (55,000 °C), created blast waves with speeds of up to 26 ft/s (7.9 m/s), and shock and surface waves up to 98 ft (30 m) high. Blast columns reached the floor of the lagoon, which is approximately 230 ft (70 m) deep.

    It feels surreal watching this footage at such a high frame rate. The poorer quality footage I'm so used to seeing for older military recordings sort of gives this fake quality to what's being presented; however, with this video, it truly feels like I could reach out and touch these people. Like I'm looking through a tinted window and I'm there with them at the Atoll. It's something I've never experienced before.

I've always viewed this sort of material in a 'made' media kind of way - it wasn't until today that I could finally experience these events with some sort of reality-based grounding. It contextualizes history. If only the camera had been invented sooner. I'm looking forward to further reproductions such as this.

    I understand that you may be jesting, but for those who may not be aware, the audio is actually dubbed in for effect. During the era when nuclear weapons were frequently tested, the recording systems utilized by the military did not capture sound accurately. It is regrettable that we lack authentic recordings of the actual sound produced by a nuclear explosion, as it could provide valuable historical insight. There is a super shitty quality one, that a news agency recorded, which sounds like it was recorded through a soup can and string.

    Fun Fact: atomic bombs don't make a "roar" sound, but simply a very loud "bang" only afterwards with quite some time delay there will be a kind of roaring sound from the air that is pulled upwards. The time delay comes from the fact, that the "bang" pressure wave travels multiple times faster than sound.

Looking at olden footage than seeing similar videos throughout the 20th century shows the progress of recording equipment, and I feel that is something we should preserve. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm old fashioned that way.

    Japan's economy collapsed after the war. They are not able to maintain their former imperial naval ships. I mean, look at what they did to other ships like the Haruna and Takao, the Haruna was raised and was scrapped for iron for the rehabilitation of their industrial base while the Takao became a target practice for the british to sunk

    Yea makes sense. It's like how the Americans shipped a captured Tiger tank back to the states just for the entire side profile of the tank to be cut off so it could be used as a training aid for soldiers. Sucks to see it incomplete and basically impossible to restore to what it looked like coming off the assembly line back in 1944, but at the time its value was worth a whole lot more as a tool to study and learn from instead of having it as a nice museum display 70+ years down the line. @@cholodelrosari0543

    My Father ,Ray A Johnsen, was an officer on the ship that brought the bomb to Bikini. He almost didn't get to Go, because he was not cleared to go, until the last day before leaving. Anyone who had control of the Boy, (in charge of it), had to have a top secret clearance.The FBI came aboard and gave the Captain the OK for my Father to go. The FBI told my dad he was held up because his wife's aunt had joined the communist party in Seattle in 1937. My Father was at the very first test on July I, 1946, and was allowed to be on deck, wearing googles that were like welding googles, for protection, and the ship was 11,000 yards from the bomb, went it went off. Later the crew below desks told my dad, They could see light coming from between the cracks in the plates in the hull! 30 Years later my dad died of the effects of the radiation, I played with the goggles as a Boy, and also the holster for the side arm he carried when in charge of the bomb. My brother and I also played with the cruise book, that was made, on that trip...sure would Like to have all those items Now!

    Definitely a government controlled video. My father was there for the blast as a radioman. Everyone on his crew that went on board one of those ships died of cancer either shortly after exposure or later on in life as a direct result of the incredibly high amount of radiation from the fallout. Little known fact is that one of the severely and highly contaminated ships was towed back to Pearl Harbor and for years was used as a tourist attraction. Tens of thousands of people were exposed to high levels of radiation before the ship was removed and sunk.

    I call BS on this. They knew what radiation was even in the 40s, they weren’t stupid, they weren’t going to let people of the public climb all over a ship that’s so radioactive it’s going to kill you from one exposure. Even directly above you is another comment of someone saying their dad is still alive at 95 and he was on the observation ship for this shot. Most of the seemingly careless treatment of radiation (castle bravo shot aside) was done to low level enlisted personnel, where unfortunately I don’t think safety was the top priority. Although that’s morally reprehensible, for example the people who had to clean up the crater of castle bravo and install the dome were all exposed to radiation. Although this is horrible, it didn’t come from a lack of knowledge and I somehow doubt the military was going to purposely expose high ranking military admirals and irreplaceable scientific staff from Los Alamos to such high levels of radiation as to guarantee death later.
