The Bikini Atoll, a remote location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, looks like a vacation paradise, but is actually a shining hell. At the beginning of the Cold War, the United States conducted nuclear weapons tests there. Back then, the Americans were much more than just trying out a new weapon technology. The two-part documentary explains the historical background of the forgotten nuclear war and reveals how the bombs continue to have an effect today.

The reason why the bomb was more power powerful is that...lithium 5 and lithium 6...one was though to inert but it just made it more powerful by mistake...!
I’m 49 and I’m just now learning about the scope of what we’ve done. Nothing could convince me that this is ok and I’m certainly not anti military. I was in the Army myself, I used to believe we were morally better than this. I was obviously wrong.
Thank you, Tears for Fears you tube 'SHOUT SHOUT LET IT ALL OUT' SO HEARTWARMING to see all the kiddies n families be as one.
This is not that simple. The first bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki stopped the Japanese emperor. That was important, it really saved many lives, even though many died. Those are horrible dilemma's, but in the end, you can agree, maybe this was better. But the Cold War, and today the Second Cold War, do you have any idea how many nuclear weopons have been tested? There were THOUSANDS of atomic explosions. And there are thousands of missiles and bombs and torpedo's and God knows what. If only one is used, in angry, by accident, what will happen? Will you survive? Will I survive? I tell you, those politicians are crazy. I hope the generals are wise. Why do we need these poisonous weapons? When too many angry guys push the button, the entire world can die. Homo sapiens is not sapiens, we are homo destructivus. People can kill the world. And it will surprise you, how easy it is, to kill all human beings. Oops, nuclear winter. Nuclear clouds in the sky will obscure the sun. Oops, no crops anymore. Oops. End of our story. Never thought about that?! No, you believe everything the governments tell you. They do not tell you this. Nuclear winter is a real problem. And it can be your last.
How were yall ever morally better then this when your people the US government murdered and enslaved the indigenous people of America then called them black and African American when we were already here
Well said.
@@ib485 Manifest destiny my friend. It's just business.
I am not a Bikinian but as a Marshallese myself, I feel for them. Most of the newer generations call them people of Kili rather than Bikini. In fact I thought the people of Enewetak (another atoll in the Marshalls) were the ones relocated from Bikini. These people don’t have a permanent land to call home and soon we all will have just a passport to call home.
Yep
True
I thought bikini was marshallese?

CORE=EA WAS DESTROYED Many many many Centuries ago did you it not realized who it was ? read the bible
Man strives to create every conceivable way to destroy the earth and life.
And mAn is getting better at it.
The driving force behind such evil acts is the fundamental hate for Our creator and all of his creation Especially us
I know rite mate🙏💓✌️
This has to be one of the most heart rending documentary I’ve watched. These people have been poisoned lied to experimented on Relocated and treated in the most in humane way. I wish I could turn back time so these beautiful people could live their lives the way they have done So for so long it’s truly sickening what has happened to these people and their homeland. My words are easy to write here. There life love and circumstance is as far away from my words as I could ever imagine
Guess where they did the rest of these experiments until the 1990's? The entire United States got an even bigger dose, for longer. Then it was passed around the world because the U.S. is the bread basket of most of the world. Look into what else thesr Molac worshiping elites are up to.
@chris Do you think if we could've looked into the future... Any of us.. The world would be as it is now? Or do you think we all would've dropped arms and worked at peace harder?
Didn't you know that decades earlier? This was known, provided you were interested. Why do you think Greenpeace came into this world? To block a French atmosferic nuclear test. In the Pacific! Hey...
@@Ed-ty1kr US is bread basket for the world? what have you been smoking lately? Like we don't have food and rely on US canned food airmail, in Poland for example. What a moron you are.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE THERE ARE SOME HUMAN LOVE LEFT
I wanted to write something meaningful, but words fail me. What did we do terrible things to such a beautiful part of the world? My heart goes out to all the displaced people and to those who had their lives cut short by radiation damage.
My father was in the US Navy at this time. He and his group of sailors were invited to witness a nuclear bomb test from a neighboring island. The " protection" given to them consisted of a pair of sunglasses. Shame on the USA military for their callous disregard for the health of the locals, and their own people.
Did he ever engage in homosexual acts with his fellow sailors?
if so make sure and report him to your nearest thought police officer @@hungdaddy5004

Bikini Atoll is supposed to be where Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob is set. Considering the crazy stuff in that show, radioactivity is probably a good explanation for it all.
It’s not supposed. That’s confirm by Stephen hillenberg
The tragedy of the Bikini Atoll is a silent one. A mundane one. Nobody, today knows this place existed. The people affected are so few the world can't bring itself to care. The people still exists, yet their culture is dying. A culture no one knew existed, a culture no one will miss. Even the people affected seem to have accepted this to some extent.
The people who planned this and the people who carried it out should remember and care. Their descendants should know what they did. And the people who were devastated by this horrible inhuman act won’t forget. And what can they do but not accept it. What a terrible comment.
When you say "no one" you're really saying "none of us white people" who "matter"(to us)...isn't that what you actually mean? THEY KNOW THEY EXIST AND THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED...ARE THEY "NO ONE"???
@Irene Maria The school system barely even touches on much more important (no disrespect) recent history.

@Irene Maria Uh-huh. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it !!
I am a Koeraean and we live next door to the Marshall Islands and I strongly believe that these nuclear testing should be revisited or reinvestigated for its hidden daimages to those other islands. There have been lots or many Micronesians died from cancerous diseases. The fall out from those testings can travel for miles and miles depending on the direction and the strength of the wind and these testing should be banned for humanity....
You hit the nail right on the head, thank you!
masses which mean to made war all over history must have an idiot term (IDEA=ZERO=LOGIC > IDEAL'O'LODGY > HORUSCHILD NEED A MUMMYNEST) to forbid just like the biblical jews all and everything - they are steered in hatred and anger against brain. Thats the reason why mankind invented the nukes to survive mutants. Yes it is for real a hard life by Asians, but we Fuckup us not themself just like Bollocks all over history do - grab something of our industrial history and tell your crewmagnolians thats your invention - we need your love snickersmarxistpack
You think America gives a single shit about that or you? News flash, they don't.
I bet your pardon? Are you saying you live next to the marshal islands or are you confused enough to think korea is next to the marshal islands....Korea is almost 3,000 miles away or 5,586 km away...so you're either high or you don't live in Korea. And cancer is what most people die of now....don't think your special, my grandma died of cancer, she's not been around a single nuclear bomb detonation site, she didn't smoke....how many Koreans who get cancer can't put it together that they got it from smoking? Lol yes let's unanimously ban them for all of man kind...we clearly see places like china and Russia completely agreeing to that. So until they stop no one will stop. So as a Korean, maybe you should unite your own country before suggesting what unified countries do instead? North Korea is a problem...you gonna do anything ANY TIME SOON or you gonna let the west fight your wars for you which is what makes nuclear war all the more close...
Yall was warned to move and had option to be relocated at US Expense but declined.
Should have used DC for the test instead of Bikini Is
My uncle was in the U.S. Navy at the time and was present for the tests. It was called “Operation Crossroads.” He was on the flagship USS Mount McKinley.
Fun fact: the Japanese captured the islands from the Germans during WW1, then ruled Bikini (along with the rest of the Marshall's) from 1914 until the US captured the islands.
26:03 "We're not the ones to blame, people! The bomb was way more powerful than we anticipated and the wind changed direction. The wind is to blame" 🤦♂🤦🤦♀
Are you suggesting that the federal government doesn’t have everyone’s best interests in mind?
@@revolvermaster4939 👍🏼
Why not do the tests in the U.S.? Oh, yeah, they didn't want to maim and kill OUR people. You know, the people in the country supposedly benefiting from these tests.
No, not at all, the people had the names of King Judah, they called it an exodus when they they had a BBQ with them ans the irradiated those people. Most do not know what this was. This was evil pure and simple, no mistakes here, except the people, believed those who came were kind, instead of evil

@Sarbaaz Chabahar Destroy itself? "humanity" took it upon itslef through blasphemous hubris, ignorance, greed, fear and power hunger to threaten and destroy _all_ life. We are beyond both redemption and salvation my friend.
"Mankind" is a lot of people. Most likely it will be done by a very tiny percentage of power hungry manchildren waving their mega weapons around.
I'm pretty sure most humans wish for peace. It's just that we have a whole bunch of war mongering maniacs in charge of global affairs. Give a chimp a nuke button, and he'll threaten the entire world for a stack of bananas.

My Grandfather who fought in the Pacific always said the bombs were unnecessary, we could have blockaded Japan and it would have given up. It was a show of force to the Russians.
The Russians already knew we had the bomb before the damn thing was even tested.Those unnecessary bombs are probably a good reason you're here. Otherwise your grandaddy might have been a grease stain on some Japanese island.
My Dad participated in 24 atmospheric, surface and subsurface tests on Enewetok. He passed from a rare bone cancer. He always said it was the most miserable time in his 26 years of service.
Mantle Cell lymphoma is what your dad died from and my dad died from in 2012. My dad's dad was still running his saddle shop at age 89. My dad's 2nd oldest brother lived until 92 and I believe a botched surgery on the wrong body part ended his life early at 92. So I guess I'm trying to say the men have longevity in my dad's family and in 2012 he died at just 72 years old. He only got 7 short years with his grandson who would almost die from meningitis just months after Dad passed. My dad was a genius. He even participated in a government sponsored think tank for a short time. When mom took Dad to one of his cancer treatments the nurse told her the hospital was robbing them. She said dad had no bone marrow at all in his bones and they were just stealing their money.From the time he found out and he seemed normal, just a few months later he became a dependent, helpless, confused, sick person that I didn't recognize and couldn't hardly stand to be around. I lived 5 hours away and am subservient to a 7 days a week job. I never saw my dad alive again and my sister who did at home hospice for him said he wanted to see me in the month he died in August. I'm so ashamed I didn't go. I should've been there for him more. On the night he died I was videoing my son acting goofy in the kitchen. When I reviewed the video an orb floated around us in the kitchen. I have a shoebox full of those tapes that I recorded my son's life on. Two dozen or so. This is the only tape and only scene where there's an orb floating on the video. It was the night my father died! I'm 100% sure that was his last visit to see Brodey and I before moving onto his next life. Dad didn't spend much time with me growing up as he was always working. But to have seen him with my son Brodey was to witness perfection! The love that they shared was a beautiful thing to see. I raised my son in a single parent household until he was 15 years old after his freshmen year in highschool cut short because Covid hit. The following summer I would become the victim of Cancel Culture and Targeted Parental Alienation from his demonic mother. My son will be 19 years old in a few months. I'm going on my 4th Christmas without so much as a pathetic text from him. I told him everyday of his life I loved him. I busted my ass for him on Christmas providing everything a traditional Christmas day celebration includes. I video taped all of his Christmas's.I can tell you I will never again set up another Christmas tree in my lifetime. I may go to church on Christmas Eve and wish Jesus a happy birthday but other than that Christmas is forever dead to me. I'm sorry to hear about your father and I didn't mean to hijack your post. I've never been able to stop once I start making a comment. It ends up part of my story and that's a selfish thing to do, I apologize. May your father as well as mine RIP.

@@dave8599 yes, the imperial Japanese would've probably slaughtered them without much thought but in my estimation the US was deceptive and that was just a crueler more prolonged death.

Ah well, everything happens for a reason, we just get caught up in the fuckery, that's life.

My dad was there and died of scerosis of the liver at age 47. He never drank!
😞 I saw people gathering data with minimum or no protection. I wondered what the fate of those men was. Thanks for sharing the revealing information
I hate to say it but nuclear testing didn't cause your dad's liver cirrhosis. Although, it very well may have been caused by some chemical they had him working with if he was military or a scientist. Radiation causes a very particular cellular damage and attacks multiple systems by mutating genes. If it had caused his cirrhosis, he would have also been dealing with several other significant maladies simultaneously, not just a failing liver. I'm truly sorry about your dad. My dad also has non alcoholic liver cirrhosis and it's a very difficult disease to deal with. I work in the medical and despite his doctors knowing that, they still treat him like he's dumb and can't find out the truth of what they're telling him by simply asking me. Healthcare should never be the fight some medical professionals turn it into.

When she said "We thought the Americans HAD STARTED THE WAR AGAIN...and we raced to the ocean to see if there were ships.''
And to think you have people in america that cry about injustice lol really , these people's story is tragic and the US needs to do more shows you how the democrats and republican have forgotten about these people same as the native americans. Fucking sad man.
So sad. Also search John Pilger's - "The Coming War On China" Documentary. The first part he visits the Marshall islands and interviews the people.
the documentary is pro CCP propaganda
@@Zerosen89 no it wasn't
@Zerosen89 Anything that exposes the US government for their humanitarian crimes is propaganda
I notice how they keep trying to talk negatively about the people saying they have a victim mentality and a take mentality. The US took everything from them.
That is true, but a victim mentality doesn't do good to anyone. It makes you ungrateful, dependent and weak. It doesn't let you move on neither grow up. It's not that he is attacking them, the way he says it shows he is sorry and sad for those people. Just look at them. They stopped working for their own sake and started depending on papa government, now they are just a bunch of overweight, lazy people, who just want to "kill time" while they wait for money to be handed to them. Is that a good way of living?
Criminals!
We preached about "good" and "evil" to our children and teached them to do good but as a teacher, we do opposite to our teaching and beliefs. Humanity is a true devil in a suit.
This types are very important, especially for many people understanding. Thank you very much. You're incredible
It’s crazy to think that people would do this. They were playing with power they had no idea what it would do. They were like a child who found their dad’s gun. I feel so bad for these people. Their entire culture was ripped apart .
Ever since man discovered fire he has never stopped being a pyromaniac throughout time leading to what we see here. Just the sight of the explosion and how it interacts with the elements as it rises and spreads a shockwave devastating everything in its path is both mesmerizing and absolutely terrifying. How man has used his praised intelligence to shape his destiny by waging war one against the other is disappointing for us who understand the value of human life anf the value of our Earth. We must seem as a very stupid species to aliens watching the shit we do to each other and to our home.
Brilliant statement...I concur!!!

THAT'S REALLY ALL YOU GOT OUT OF THIS STORY?
The Government should not be allowed to do anything or spend money unless it's voted on by we the people. IT is obvious that the people that made these decisions are not capable of clear thoughts.
8 year US Army Combat Medic out of Fort Hood. I had NO FREAKING EARTHLY IDEA that this crap has gone on and I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED. We’re still paying reparations to Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims WHILE OUR OWN F-ING ATOMIC VETS with CLEAR LINE OF DUTY ILLNESSES are turned down by the VA. The flag I fought for, the flag I wore on my shoulder everyday for 8 years, the flag I would have died for if it was asked of me, the flag MY FRIENDS have been buried under, the flag I was given when I retired that I have framed in my living room and USED TO look at proudly, I thought, was so much better than this.
You put it so well Amy, thanks for that heartfelt message. Where I work, in the last few years, at least a couple of dozen islanders from that area are my coworkers, and ALL of them are so happy, a joy to be around, and such hard workers. I've tried to explain to some of these younger ones about what took place in this area of the South Pacific, and they don't even know about it, it's sad. And they are such beautiful people through and through.....
Well I guess that happens when you join the military, yet know nothing of its history....probably one of those "I didnt join to fight, I joined to go to college" types
most times there are drugs in the dead bodies
Sorry dude, your flag, like my flag, is soaked in blood. At least now you know. This is the kind of thing that used to be meant by being woke btw. Before that term was weaponised by the same people who don't want you to wake up to this reality. They want people to stay asleep & blind to their crimes.
26:02 'According to the military there were two reasons why people had suffered.' The more powerful explosion than planned, and the change of winds... Aren't they forgetting the much more fundamental reason... like them detonating a nuclear weapon in the first place?
No kidding. Like punching someone and blaming them for getting in the way.
Nah, that bomb contained Lithium. And the scientists disagreed on how Lithium would behave during the explosion. How many neutrons would it give free? The outcome was a surprise, the nuclear reaction was much stronger than expected. Such things happened, those days. But this bang was really dangerous for the men in the bunker close by.
America is very jealous how USSR successfully detonating Atomic bomb (Tsar Bomba)
@@voornaam3191 So why go thousands if Monsanto do this? It was for the benefit, supposedly, of U.S. citizens, so do do the experiments in America. Oh, yeah, they knew how dangerous that shot was and wanted to just kill people they considered unimportant and expendable.
Couple of factual errors. The 1949 Soviet bomb was a fission bomb, not a "hydrogen" or fusion bomb. The Castle Bravo bomb was the most powerful bomb up to that time but was far exceeded by the Soviet Tsar bomb at 50Mt
it was natron (150kg)
58 Mt
LAYER CAKE. That's another name for the Russian fission bomb. Thing is, at the time, as US intelligence had to calculate the yield from seismographic information & atmospheric particle collection, they reasonably but wrongly concluded the Russians had detonated a small hydrogen bomb.
The power of the "Tsar-bomb" corresponded to the calculations, the power of Castle Bravo was the result of a misunderstanding of the physics of the process. Also, Castle Bravo wasn't a «bomb», it was a “device”.
@@runlarryrun77 For the first Soviet bomb with a fusion boosting. (РДС-6с/RDS-6s, 400 Kt, 1953)
My father and his ship mates were charged with the task of towing the vessels those that didn’t sink and cleaning them needless to say we have had our share of effects from this test our genetics were altered I feel bad for the families that were affected, I pray that this never happens again 😢

Nuclear testing was necessary. Sacrificing Bikini Atoll wasn't. There's desolate places they could've chosen.

Thank you Greenpeace for everything you did
¨ We wanna go and fishing but we can´t😢¨💔
19:58 surely you meant to say up until that point. The Tsar Bomba was by far the most powerful bomb ever detonated.
I think they meant as of 1 March 1954, Castle Bravo was the largest nuclear detonation, The Tsar Bomba was detonated on 30 October 1961
Tsar Bomba was designed to be a 100 megaton weapon. It was scaled back to 50 megatons because the Russian scientists were afraid it might ignite the atmosphere. At 50 megatons it was the same yield as Bravo. Nothing stronger has ever been detonated.
Everyone needs to hear the island peoples story.
I TOTALLY AGREE......
One of the best sources for references was the book Operation Crossroads: The Atomic Bomb Tests at Bikini Atoll by Jonathan Weisgall. I'd recommend that to anyone interested in this topic. I used it extensively in college for many of my papers.
Great word usage, INSIDIOUS
I found out about this bombing of there islands (late 40s ) when I went to a training school in Arizona we had alot of marshal Islanders and around there

Yeah that hit hard. Those poor people and their children and children's children. They lost their land and their lives because of the decision made by someone of power.
Always found it interesting that you can hear the sound of the sound wave coming at you
It's just a fucking sound effect dropped in to add tension. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. We all know it's an editing technique. We all know you would see the explosion before you heard it. Pointing this out isn't clever. Fucking shut up Mr Dunning - Kruger.
A real life "Atomic Café" story. A must see for all.
This is sickening and heartbreaking. The US military has ruined these people's home for the foreseeable future. I don't really think it was all worth it, not for those innocents who suffered and continue to suffer, not only the loss of their home, but the loss of their health and that of their descendants and not worth it for the world, either. This is yet another group negatively impacted by American arrogance.
Only those at the very tippy top of the military know the true motives of their actions. For most enlisted men, they are lied or misled in believing that what is being done is for some good cause. In many ways they too are victims since many enlist to serve and protect their nations. I’d hate to be one of these men who come to the realization they unknowingly created such suffrage on others.

My dad was on enewitak when they tested those bombs. My brother does the logistics to help the people of the Marshalls effected by the bimbs
1955 or 56 USS ESTES and another ship was at sea inside the perimeter of the testing of Hydrogen bomb blast. During that time of the the blast, the other ship that was between the Estes and Island was hit with a violent blast of wind on the side of the ship. The other ship tilted so far as it almost flipped over on its side but luckily went back upright. There was 5 or 6 airplanes that was flying into the Brite white mushroom cloud and coming out the other side and circling back into the mushroom cloud 4 or 5 times more. The guys from the Estes nicknamed those pilots Kamakazis because they were already doomed to die from radiation after that. During the blast the men on the Estes who were ordered to sit down on the deck and close their eyes and cover them with their arm saw for 3 to 4 seconds the bone in their arm. It was like having an xray. A couple miles away outside the blast perimeter was a Japanese Fishing Boat that was hit with flying debris from the blast due to wind shifting direction. The Fishermen later discovered what the blast was and demanded from the Japanese government monetary compensation. He believes this was the first of the Hydrogen bombs that were tested at sea.
Absolutely disgusting.

I am become meme, collector of likes
First of all sound does not travel at the speed of light. Very few documentaries about nuclear tests get this right, they always mix in an artificial explosion sound that is not even remotely representative of what such an explosion would sound like. Second, at 14:57 they are inexplicably mixing in a video clip from the Baker shot (the more famous one from Operation Crossroads, exploded from under the water) before returning to the Able videos. (an airdrop) Either way the horrific fact is that Operation Crossroads happened because of a piss fight between the US Army (then still in control of all nuclear weapons) and the US Navy. (which tried to prove that its fleet was not vulnerable to such weapons) It wasn't even yet about the even more horrific piss fight with the Soviets!
Actually the sound of atomic explosions does travel at the speed of light inside the fireball (the gamma radiation heats the air to white heat).
Good to know that's what motivated you to comment! Go eat your spinach
I think you missed the whole point of this video. Your argument about what, why where it was done is meaningless when it comes to the facts of what happened to these peoples and their lands, and the ongoing demise of what their later generations health conditions are.....

7:03 'The russians have already detonated a hydrogen bomb.' This was a mis-edit. (and you can see the guy's later comments in the video to verify this) Operation Crossroads was executed in 1946. Russia detonated Joe-1 (fission weapon) in 1949. Russia's first thermonuclear weapon was tested in 1953, the year after Ivy Mike. Maybe the editors of this documentary mixed in the guy talking about Operation Castle (1954) instead at the wrong place in this documentary? Sadly the real reason behind Operation Crossroads in 1946 was a piss fight between the US Army and the Navy. You can look up the actual history.
Shut your mouth warmongers
Goodness! A little artistic creativity with facts isn't new in documentaries pushing a narrative! This is more about shaping attitudes and invoking feelings than accuracy.
And the responsible "human" beings all raise and say: "Wir haben es nicht gewusst."
It never ceases to amaze me how our government has skrewed over so many Pacific Islanders. Shameful.
Crazy
😢😢😢😢😢this is very beyond sad.
look at the poor health of these people. this is a crime.
they have survived. many have not. you don't see the many that did not make it. and do not think things are over. the ocean will be poisoned for many years. that island has a spot, covered in concrete. but the radioactive waste is escaping into the ocean. how can one solve that problem? it is horrible. even if you support the americans, you will agree this is a complicated problem. what on earth is best?
Crime nowadays
I hide my shame by covering my face as tears and sorrows emerge within. I was born in 1942 and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that because of all the testing during my lifetime, I too am radioactive. Sincerely I do remain at 79, Sentebey in USA.
Wow...
So Sad 😞
The Navy wanted to see what it would do to people so they knew what was going on!
This is so heart breaking and infuriating! How could America do this? I love how im just learning about this at 42!! America only teaches its children the good things Americans do. We're bound to repeat this atrocity.
nope it's not - nukes are good against sodom & gormorra 😀
Plenty of state governments would like to keep it that way. I believe a couple of years ago in Colorado some representatives wanted to remove any material that put the US in a bad light from the history books.
Tough break I bet. I felt the same when I found out about atrocities committed by British troops all round the world. Hell of a wake up call, I know. Welcome to the other side.
@divinelyled3390..... Much Sooner than you (or anyone else) may think!!
So now we know how SpongeBob came about
A lot of incorrect information in here
I can’t take this documentary seriously due to the errors. The filmmaker shows Crossroads Baker as Crossroads Able. One of their “experts” also implies that the USSR got the H Bomb before the USA.
One thing you should take seriously though, is the fact America we’re responsible for a great against these people. A wrong, that 75 years later they have still not put right.
errors are no reason to DENY the basic truths of our crimes against nature and humanity! Don't be childish /petty/complicit by not taking the actual crimes seriously!
the point of documentary is people not facts, but then again who I'm to judge.
How could Humans do this to other Humans and even the flora and fauna? The horror of technology!
My grandma still alive and her husband worked on Bikini island he got radiation poison and died and she only got a little. But bikini island still pays her for that.. he was one of the engineers. But her stories are really wild like none believable
Wait, did they add ammo to the battle ships or were they too lazy to remove the existing ammo from a ship? Was Alec Baldwin in charge of set design that day? Why would "set props" have live ammo on board? SO... MANY... QUESTIONS
Are you being serious? If these tests were to test how a nuclear bomb would affect our fleet at sea, the ships need to be exactly as they would be in wartime...its not a hard concept to understand, yet no one seems to get it, or chooses to play stupid so they can display "wokeness".
OMG that speak by Truman had me shaking my head in disbelief. 🤦♂️
Those bombs saved millions of lives,you are welcome
This is the censored version. Look up the uncensored one.
That's a shame they keep those people so controlled that doesn't make sense
For the good of humankind, they said, history has proven the complete opposite for humans and nature.
What future.just because you can create something dosant mean you should.
Ian Malcom wants to know your location.
26:50 "area of acceptable fallout"?! Like ANYTHING was gonna stop these lunatics from dropping the bomb? Oooook....insane
I totally get that it is a priority to test something to make sure it works, but it's almost a sick joke of irony how the idea keeps occurring; let's blow something up.
Then go to war with it...
This doc lost me at "how dare we talk to the people after church". The horror!
