Tsar Bomba - Largest Nuclear Device Ever Tested (50MT)


The video is kind of messed up at the beginning but it corrects itself shortly. Very interesting documentary with some incredible visuals.

Yeah, some friend linked it to me from wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_bomba
Where it said some intresting stuff like.

The explosion was felt 1000 km away, and the mushroom cloud was 60 km high. The explosion could be even felt, and seen in Finland, where even windows broke.

Actually, the bomb was believed to be around 57 megatons. Capable of inflicting 3rd degree burns at 100km. It was actually capable of 100 mt, but it was reduced so as to give the flight crew time to escape the fireball.

I would have been crapping myself if I was piloting that plane.

Also never seen actual detailed footage of the test... until now!
What documentry was this from? It sounds like Tiff Needle was the guy doing the narration.

Also also, has anyone seen Trinity and Beyond? That is one brilliant (if a little innaccurate in places) documentry of the American Nuclear tests, with some others thrown in for good measure.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do
