Everytime I see a nuclear test I honestly think to myself: Everyone should get a bunch of those things. Some people think of nukes or WMDs in general as nothing more than superweapons. I see them as something beautiful. They represent the human spirit and dedication to making something possible that would otherwise be absolutely impossible.

I know because it's actually soi well rendered in MSFS. That so well known AF base is just behind those mountains in the background. The place even in flight simulator is like a different planet.

So glad that you do not add the fake rumbling sound, that also happens to travel at the speed of light to your videos.

Notice the “cap” of the mushroom cloud is clearly in a electrostatic/electromagnetic standing wave in the form of the magnetic field created by the cumulative static electricity from the sucked up particles rubbing together. Notice the reiterative pattern of the ribbed sections and equidistance (frequency) of space between each section and rib to rib. There is an insane amount of ionic electricity created.

Operation Buster-Jangle was a series of seven (six atmospheric, one cratering) nuclear weapons tests conducted by the United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site. Buster-Jangle was the first joint test program between the DOD (Operation Buster) and Los Alamos National Laboratories (Operation Jangle). As part of Operation Buster, 6,500 troops were involved in the Operation Desert Rock I, II, and III exercises in conjunction with the tests.[1] The last two tests, Operation Jangle, evaluated the cratering effects of low-yield nuclear devices. ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Buster%E2%80%93Jangle

The thing these tests never show is the firestorm that would be happening after the blast wave if detonated over a city. A lot of people think that pictures of the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing was mostly done from the blast where a large part of the desolate landscape came from the firestorm that burned everything that was blown apart, survived the blast, or was constructed from a material more resistant to heat and fire.

@Barabel22
