Hundreds of never-before-seen nuclear blast videos show terrifying explosions in the ocean and Nevada desert

https://amp.businessinsider.com/imag...60-640-480.jpg

The US government detonated hundreds upon hundreds of above-ground nuclear explosions from 1945 to 1963 — right up until the first nuclear test-ban treaty was signed.

The experiments tried out new bomb designs, measured their explosive power (called yield), verified that existing weapons still worked, and studied what might happen to anything and anyone unfortunate enough to be a target.

About 10,000 videos of such tests were filmed, analyzed, and locked away in high-security vaults, where they were nearly forgotten and began to decay.

More than five decades later, however, a team of scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is working feverishly to rescue, scan, and reanalyze the high-speed films.

"This is it. We got to this project just in time," Greg Spriggs, a nuclear-weapons physicist at LLNL, said in a video about the digitization effort. "We know that these films are on the brink of decomposing, to the point where they will become useless."

And if you look closely enough you can see my naked body rise from the ashes, riding on the back of a giant lizard king.

Hard to believe they actually did this.

Mulholland Falls is a good movie about this.

The Hills Have Eyes is a better movie about this.
