    Every time i see the tsar bomba explosion, there's this sense of awe and beautiful elegance but simultaneously absolute terror to the core. ("Wow" vs "oh shit...")

    I remember seeing a video about the mines. A British Officer commented saying, Gentlemen, I don’t know whether we are going to make history tomorrow, but at any rate we shall change geography."
  • If that was 25 tons of ammonium nitrate buried that field would be producing some magnificent crops.
  • Narrator: "Maybe you get used living in the shadow of history" ? I find living on a 25 ton bomb not quite the same! 😂😂😂

    25,000 tonne bomb? Even in American tons that's a 50,000,000 pound bomb you're talking about...I think we used the wrong unit of measure in the video's description 🤦‍♂️
  • @cowgoesmoo3850
    I'm going straight to the comments section, to see what the experts have to say about this video.
  • @edwilko8819
    The real reason the explosive hasn't been removed is simple Cost, who's going to foot the bill.
  • @devvytm
    Can you imagine being in a plane and seeing chunks of metal the size of a garage or entire house flying by?
  • @caesiumzombie
    I miss looking at the mothball fleet on my trips to and from the bay area as a kid. Was the highlight of every single trip.

    The 2020 Beirut explosion even gave us a more realistic insight of what AN in huge doses can do.
  • @77gravity
    I don't know when this documentary was made. We have seen the Halifax disaster repeated in Beirut, 4th August 2020.
  • @ButchNackley
    @ 8:01 Even though he knew quite well what was about to happen, he flinched. Can't say I wouldn't do the same. That was a really sweet firecracker.

    It is hard to believe that much explosives, unexploded, could have just been forgotten about
