What a Nuclear Bomb Explosion Feels Like

Ойын-сауық

The existential threat of nuclear war is no longer a Cold War memory. With nine countries armed with around 15,000 atomic bombs up to 53 times stronger than those dropped in the Second World War, the stakes are arguably higher.
Ahead of the International Day against Nuclear Tests on August 29 2018, we met up with British atomic veterans who were present at test sites in Australia and the Pacific, to find out what it’s like to experience a nuclear bomb explosion up close.
While most people know about the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, fewer are aware that an additional 2,000 atomic bombs were detonated after World War II and tested on hundreds of thousands of young soldiers to prepare them for nuclear war.

    uhh in camp desert rock (which was an operation where nukes were dropped near soldiers to test the effects and combat possibilities of someone exposed to radiation) the soldiers were only exposed to .9 roentgen which is equivalent to 0.008 greys of radiation. it takes .3 greys of radiation to have any effect. engineers were exposed to 3.9 roentgen which is equivalent to 0.035 greys which is again, very far from having any effects on humans. although the tests were risky, literally nothing happened and i dont see why its a big deal

So I can imagine a nuke going off would def give off enough bright light to show their bones and vessels.. it's different than x ray, but their knowledge of how yo describe what they saw probably made them think that.. if they all saw the silhouette of their bones and vessels, then I mean 🤷🏻‍♂️

A nuclear bomb explosion near you is something that doesn't just go away once its done and over with. After the bomb drops, generational trauma ensues and you never escape its effects.

If you recall 1972 Nixon took us off the gold standard, and our money was backed by trust. Should the American people decide to rescind their trust and audit the federal government, the federal reserve IMF and all currencies across the world world be rendered null and void... The result would kill more than half the world's population in 3 months time and humanity and all man made institutions are destroyed in half the time... We would be fucked...

You can see it in their eyes. You can't begin to imagine what it's like in person compared to what you see on the internet. I hope we never do.

    I'm in my 50s and had a WWII vet neighbor who was in TWO tests in Nevada in the 1950s... He eventually retired from the Army and died of lung cancer (life long smoker) in the early 1990s. He said, "Since you can't feel radiation it _feels_ just like any explosion, hot loud and with a shockwave. They said 'DO NOT look toward the explosion, DO NOT pick up any rocks, dirt or ANYTHING on the ground, and don't touch any plants with bare skin.' BUT, a dumb ass lieutenant picked up a rock and got cussed out when he passed by the Geiger counter station. Any man who set off the detector had to throw away his boots or uniform - whatever was contaminated." He said the fireball swirled with every color in the rainbow.

He remembers the heat and a layer of dust being on his uniform afterwards. Poor guy had nothing but health problems his entire life (cancer, leukaemia etc) and he lost every child he had after that. This caused his marriage to fall apart. Worse part was the government refused to acknowledge what happened, because it happened after the war, it wasn’t during active duty so they wouldn’t help him.

    The "world enders" are no more in service. They were also always to heavy and big to be practical in deployed weapon systems. That's why they have weapons in service that are equipped with hydrogen bombs in the medium range of around 300 to 1200 kt today. This is still much more than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb which had about 15-21 kt, but much less than the "world enders" in the 10 to 100 Mt range. The big problem is, they have much more of these medium range bombs today and thus can destroy more than just one big bombs. They are also much more precise.

    Honestly makes me wanna cry that these people were casted aside as test subjects for a bomb we already knew was so unimaginably powerful. Not fair to them and to their families.

    What was the reason to put people under an atomic bomb? We’re they testing to see if it would kill them or something?

    No, dude....we HAVE TO know. The consequences of nuclear technology and the ability of any given govt to look at human life as a statistic is something we really need to understand. Good times create weak men and we’ve been in the historical “best of times” since the end of the Cold War....the long peace. If we aren’t careful and we don’t learn, we could see a “weak men create bad times” scenario go down in our lifetimes.

    I am sure many were very brave but being used as guinea pigs is not what makes someone brave. What they went through was horrific and government must be held accountable at all times for their actions. If you gave up your right to defend yourself, there is nothing you can do at this point. If you supported that, you are a POS. This was a rant and not directed specifically at anyone in this thread unless you are a POS.

    We've always been test rats and always will be. You don't just fight the war on the battlefield. The things they did while wrong, as they should have asked for volunteers first, was necessary for the defense of our nation, and countless others. The one's that went thru testing were as brave as any who went over the top. But please keep in mind, it was all needed, in a time where we were only a thin hair ahead of the enemy, and if we had failed, the free world would never have been.
