“The United States is the only country to have ever used nuclear bombs during war. In 1945, at least 100,000 men, women, and children were instantly killed when bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in addition to tens of thousands more who later died because of the bombs after effects.”
What? Did anyone else know about this????
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
In the mood to watch Dr. Strangelove!

I can see why they were classified.
Just a quick look and I got 3-4 items I have never seen in previous released videos.
I will be checking this out tonite!
Notice the 3 protruding jets at the base of the explosion.What is that?
Ha!
Saw most of those in Nuke Weapons school in 1971.
Existing cameras’ mechanical shutters were found wanting for the detail the scientists were looking for, so EG&G, iirc, came up with an electronic shutter using capacitance glass.
BFL!

I always wanted to see an exploded view of an exploding explosion.

These things are the only defense we have against a threatening comet or meteor impact. The Cold War nuclear arsenals may one day be praised as having saved the entire planet’s bacon.

Start blinking your eyes at 55 if you don't see it :)

....and thereby saved the lives of a least 1,900,000 Japanese and 1,000,000 Allies who were expected to die in Operations Olympic - Coronet, the Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands.
I once asked a former WWII Japanese Field Artillery officer about the universally accepted estimate of a total of 2,000,000 Japanese dead in the invasions. He said, “No. That number is wrong. It would have been much higher, perhaps as many as 8 t0 14 million. Every Japanese man and boy, and I mean every one, would have been honored to die for the emperor.”
