Comments by "Joe R M" (@joermnyc) on "4 Nuclear Experiments That Could Have Ended The World" video.

  1. Remember, the original design was 100 megatons. They dropped it to 50 because the airplane dropping the bomb would have no time to escape from the blast.

  2. The amount of radioactive fallout we dumped into the atmosphere, soil and groundwater cannot have been good for anyone. In fact I think that’s why Autism became more prevalent. We irradiated our future generations. (If you’re ever in Vegas, do go visit the National Atomic Testing Museum. They have many artifacts and a few objects from crazy ideas about how to use nukes for things like space travel, and excavation in construction (the Sedan Crater up in the actual testing area is the largest man made crater on earth. The amount of irradiated soil and dust it kicked up proved how insane that idea was.)
