Really wish movies were invented a lot earlier than they were. It would of been so cool to see people from the 1700s walking around carrying on with their everyday lives. The medieval times would of been extremely interesting.

Hello Jesse!! I think the same, it would be fascinating to be able to see such old videos of how people had their social lives............ Likewise, I think another fascinating thing will be the future that we will not be able to see. To think that many people in the future will be able to watch HD 4K videos etc, in 200, 500, 1000 years. It's crazy to think that people in the future will have the 10,000 year old storybooks with super quality videos. Greetings.

We would have to use this technology of the future responsibly and take advantage of it for good, because from now on nobody will be able to try to "MANIPULATE HISTORY"....OR, YES? The history of the past we have doubts and uncertainties, but the history of the future should not be manipulated. Thanks to the high-quality videos and audios that future generations will have.

We have a history of these near misses in our family. My grandpa was scheduled for flight school and then WWI ended with him never going abroad. My mother-in-law had three boys of military age but the only one who got drafted was my husband…who was 4F due to an accident. Her father was supposed to inspect the Barnes-Hecker mine on the day it caved in, but he wasn’t there because he had to drive her mom to the doctor. Only one man from inside the mine escaped. Lucky people!!!

This test was to try to accustom US soldiers on US territory if the USSR would drop nukes onto them. “Don’t give a shit if we die” is ridiculous.
The phrase “now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” is originally from the Bhagavad Gita, one of the scriptures in Hinduism. It was famously quoted by the American scientist Robert Oppenheimer in reference to his work on the development of the atomic bomb.

Crazy that such weapons are still in existence
I've been there and I asked a guy who worked on the test if the soldiers dug the trenches. He said a backhoe did all the work. When the US government went into Hiroshima and Nagasaki they talked to the people who had been bombed they found out that after all the screaming and crying was over, everyone just felt like stunned zombies. When they used farm animals in atomic bomb tests, the government went in to get them and the animals just stood there "looking bewildered". The US military was worried that the Soviets would set off an atomic bomb on US soldiers then walk up to them, take the rifles out of their hands, put them in trucks and drive them to prisoner of war camps. So they used army soldiers with atomic bombs as a psychological test. They also wondered if the devastation is what caused the problem so they moved men in close to ground zero to see if they'd turn numb seeing blown apart tanks and jeeps and stuff. Nothing came of it and the soldiers got big doses of radiation, that everybody in those days thought were small doses of radiation. Not big enough to hurt you in the short term but enough to make you worry about the long term. I met some of the men used in those tests. A few where pretty bitter about it, some just laughed it off.

I used some of this footage in an old song I made "sleepwalkers". Its crazy seeing it in higher quality, with some colour and a higher framerate.
"Hey, you'll be fine. Government said so. And you know they only have your best interests at heart."
The score was great!
For a second I thought this was the "atomic central" channel ^_^
It would be interesting to know what it sounded like. When the soldiers are approaching the expanding mushroom cloud is it silent?
Never realized I'd encounter a time traveling channel.
It's both beautiful and terrifying.
My Father was there, in the trenches. He did three test before being moved to Germany.
I wonder: what exactly is the upside of having your own men at the scene? I understand that it was a low-yield test, but still...I just don't get why anyone would want to be as close as they got.

The streamers you see in the films of atmospheric nuclear weapons tests are smoke trails made by rockets fired just before the detonation. The trails were used to make a sort of graph paper in the air for recording the propagation of shock waves and wind currents from the explosion.
