The fact that the bomb was supposed to be twice as powerful, but the scientists were like "hmmm that might be too powerful" and they stripped the bomb of half the explosive material, is blood chilling.
You're talking bullshit. It's a hydrogen bomb not uranium one, they resigned of using the "uranium tamper" which would only increase the energy of fussion reaction of tritium (hydrogen's heavy isotope), it has nothing to do with the amount of "fuel" itself. Normal nuclear bomb is only an ignition system to a thermonuclear bomb itself.
What has always frightened me, is that every time I hear someone talk about tsar bomba, they describe it as the most powerful bomb ever detonated. No one has ever said it's the most powerful bomb ever made.
Cause it’s not. The tsar bombs was originally created to be 2x more powerful, but they filled it partly with lead instead due to fears it would make the atmosphere evaporate across the world
When it was soo powerful they had to cut the nuclear power by 50% It was supposed to be 100mt but because they wanted Mr pilot to live they cut it to 50mt
@@aperson3565 Ayyy someone else who knows that fact. It's scary too, because I'm fairly sure the testing basically taught them that they could easily increase or decrease the power within the same bomb, even going upto 200mt if they wanted.

My uncle told me a story my grandfather told him. He said he was there at the site going back to the bunker before the explosion. He fell down and went unconscious because the ground is solid rock there. At some point before the blast another soldier spotted him from the bunker and dragged him into a holle in the ground, he didn't die because the shockwave goes parallel to the ground. The man that saved my grandfathers life didn't make it since it was the very moment the shock wave was coming. That mans name was Ernst, he was from a community of germans in Volga region since the times of Catherine the Great (18th century). That is how my uncle got his name, all his life he was buffled why he was named that since we had no germans in our family until grandad told him the story.
Don't forget, while there was a pilot on board, there were eight other crew as well. Nine people in total were on that plane. Also, they took off from Oleyna. This bomb was more powerful than ALL of the bombs dropped during WW2, times ten.

Pilot actually passed away only at the age of 53 cause of radiation that he received while flying away. He was truly suffering for decades, and nobody knows that. Rest in peace, brother Edit: so much ppl in comments wonder who is this pilot, so here is some info about him en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Durnovtsev
@Brad Allen he was a military pilot. He didn’t have a choice, he had orders to do that mission. The USSR didn’t exactly have a good tract record at the time for treating members of their military who didn’t follow orders. Had he refused the mission he would have likely been tortured
I live i northern sweden and my university professor told us we can still mesure cesium-137 fallout from The tsar bomb in the most northern part of sweden.
Even when Tsar bomb was detonated mid air, some of the little islands around the coast literally Evaporated. Imagine how big a Crater would be if the bomb would hit the ground.
Tsar Bomb detonated in 300meters from the ground but he left the crater Cause if tsar bomb was dropped right to thr ground it would be much destructive than before maybe for to 4,5km away or maybe much more
Earthquakes of 5.0 went off from mid air detonation, that would literally destroy everything in the region and acrosss continents from the tsunamis and energy traveling through crust Those scientists knew they had to detonate it midair or else they would really fuck up and cause an apocalypse, it’s why the pilot could’ve died since they’d have to detonate well before it hits the ground
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx That's not quite true. Detonating the bomb above ground actually amplified its destructive power. Had they exploded it directly on the surface, yes, a more visible crater would've been formed, but that's also where a lot of the energy would've been lost. After all, that area was doomed anyways, right? No need to also turn it into a crater. On the other hand, detonating it above ground allows for the shockwave that the blast creates to not only travel upwards and to the sides, but downwards as well, where it then actually reflected off the ground to turn into a secondary sideways shockwave, destroying structures on the surface in an even larger area. It's a common misconception that an explosion in mid-air would be safer than right on the ground, but don't forget that the energy from the explosion always stays the same, no matter where the blast happens, and it has to go somewhere. And air is not particularly good at blocking it.
As a seven year old child, living in the north of England, in a village called Palmersville, about five miles from the sea, I witnessed the north-eastern sky turn strongly bright pink while I was waiting for a morning bus to school. It was many years later that I was able to tie my experience to the Tsar Bomba. I believe I was 1800 miles away. I distinctly remember that no-one else paid any attention to it, but it was a very significant event for me, even though I had no idea what the hell it was. I believe it was 8.32 British Time when I was at the bus stop. I checked into Moscow time and it all works out. I am sure others must have seen it but I have not met anyone who did.
It has stayed with me all my life. As a kid, when you see something weird, normally you tend to find some clue or explanation as you go through your early adult life. I didn't hear about Tsar Bomba until I was in my late forties and exploring the whole topic of nuclear tests. I was an early adopter of the Internet in 1992, and then the web came along and detailed information could be found online. I guess it was around 2002/3 that I began to work this out. I figured the the bright light must have gone way up into space, so visible from beyond the horizon. I just checked distance again and it's 1950 miles or so. 8.32 in the morning matches the time I was going to school and it was 3 hours behind Moscow time.
Hi. This is a link to the place in Google street view. The bus stand wasn't there back in the day, just a pole. The shop was there. (It was actually two small shops back then). The pink flash, which may or may not have been a double flash, was coming from the direction of the telephone distribution pole on the opposite side of the road. The flash lit a large part of the sky. On Google Earth, it looks like the right direction. I did wonder for some time if there might have been a secret UK test of a bomb in the North Sea, but I don't think such a thing could pass without any historical record. There are plenty of countries bordering the North Sea who would have raised serious issues with that. www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.0250431,-1.5484225,3a,72.5y,128.65h,99.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scED9azAftpWiNrZpb2beRA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
I was told that the pilot (who was one of the most respected, skilled, and higher ranking pilots in the USSR) retired the next day after seeing the devastation. Stating something along the lines of, "if man can create something that can cause such death and destruction, I will not be a part of it." As for the 50/50 figure of survival. The Americans had only ever done the classic "telephone pole" tests out in New Mexico and didn't know how a plane drop would work. So they lined the bombers with lead, told the pilots to put on the glasses before the drop, then just pull up as hard as possible afterwards and pray.
Jack Petry Definetely not xD. The US did both ground based and airdrop tests before Hiroshima... No one would tell a pilot to pull up as much as they can, that is stupid... the bombs had parachutes to slow the fall, for the bombers to be able to get out, and there was never a 50% chance of success, there was a 50% chance for an airstrike, which in my opinion wouldnt have been that dangerous..
It is popular to survive a nuclear weapon inside an old lead refrigerator. However, you have to be VERY far away from ground zero. To the point to where the main threat would be radiation, not a physical shockwave. What happened in that movie (I believe it was the crystal skull?) Would have never been possible, especially how much bouncing around it did when it landed

Well That's not humanity, that's our primitive instinct. And the interesting fact is that there's insects and animals that do the same things that we do. Aunts is always making war against themselves. The problem is that we humans has the ability to learn and that's amazing. But if we use this ability to serve our primitive instinct we will make destruction. We are just using this knowledge to our selfishness. There's no perfect creature. Even if we become perfect we will be imperfect to other's eyes. I like to talk about this cause some people has the bad habit to love hating.
Impossible they would have detected it changing course and would probably send every fighter aircraft the Soviet Union had at the time lol: if I'm not mistaking wasn't this bomber escorted? By fighter planes?
Yeah I have sarcasm I just saw another comment getting into detail about how the Russian pilot could change course but I then wondered to myself they would've have escorted the bomber right because if not he fr could have just turned course for the mainland like how did they know he would comply like the fighters would have to head back to the airport before the nuke was dropped or them themselves are in danger unless if the fighters are faster but even then it's risky
Interesting fact. When Khrushchev communicated with the creators of the bomb, they told him that it was possible to create a 100 megaton bomb and even more. He insisted on more power, but engineers and creators talked him out of it. In the end, it turned out just 51 megatons. The calculations were wrong and it exploded at 58.6 megatons. It is good that they were dissuaded, because many houses of the northern coastline had windows left, which is more than 400 kilometers. Hydrogen and oxygen burned out in the atmosphere about 10 min. The Nenets are such a people of the north, they thought it was the wrath of the spirits, the party leadership did not persuade them in this, and postpone the "fight against shamanism.". But their the deer within 700 km died. It is terrible to imagine what happened if then a 100 or 200 megaton bomb was detonated. I threw a translator into Google, I hope it translated correctly.
@David McConville This is true, but at that moment the war could have begun without this ordeal. Well, it’s generally good that these weapons didn’t go to war, but they could have poured even more power with hot feelings or fear and dropped it not on the Arctic island, but populated by the agglomerations of the enemy, and not just one, but several ... compensated for the threat of war. In any case, the train of thought was the same on both sides, that the other side did not dare to fight until it gained an obvious advantage. It worked, and still works.
ItsWezzers actually, iT was 2x stronger and 2x bigger. They Made iT smaller because they were scared What it would do To the armosphere, either they dont care and are making bigger bombs... or they just keep iT this way so iT wont reach the atmosphere, maybe improvements so the damage is more, But i Really hope they dont make a bigger Bomb cuz we dont know What Will happen....

My uncle told me a story my grandfather told him. He said he was there at the site going back to the bunker before the explosion. He fell down and went unconscious because the ground is solid rock there. At some point before the blast another soldier spotted him from the bunker and dragged him into a holle in the ground, he didn't die because the shockwave goes parallel to the ground. The man that saved my grandfathers life didn't make it since it was the very moment the shock wave was coming. That mans name was Ernst, he was from a community of germans in Volga region since the times of Catherine the Great (18th century). That is how my uncle got his name, all his life he was buffled why he was named that since we had no germans in our family until grandad told him the story.

Well-done video. Informative with no nonsense.
Even when Tsar bomb was detonated mid air, some of the little islands around the coast literally Evaporated. Imagine how big a Crater would be if the bomb would hit the ground.
Air blast gives more destructive power than ground detonation.
Tsar Bomb detonated in 300meters from the ground but he left the crater
Cause if tsar bomb was dropped right to thr ground it would be much destructive than before maybe for to 4,5km away or maybe much more
@@seraphiquevox Can't see it cleary, what color is it?
Earthquakes of 5.0 went off from mid air detonation, that would literally destroy everything in the region and acrosss continents from the tsunamis and energy traveling through crust
Those scientists knew they had to detonate it midair or else they would really fuck up and cause an apocalypse, it’s why the pilot could’ve died since they’d have to detonate well before it hits the ground
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx That's not quite true. Detonating the bomb above ground actually amplified its destructive power.
Had they exploded it directly on the surface, yes, a more visible crater would've been formed, but that's also where a lot of the energy would've been lost. After all, that area was doomed anyways, right? No need to also turn it into a crater.
On the other hand, detonating it above ground allows for the shockwave that the blast creates to not only travel upwards and to the sides, but downwards as well, where it then actually reflected off the ground to turn into a secondary sideways shockwave, destroying structures on the surface in an even larger area.
It's a common misconception that an explosion in mid-air would be safer than right on the ground, but don't forget that the energy from the explosion always stays the same, no matter where the blast happens, and it has to go somewhere. And air is not particularly good at blocking it.
Also one important detail you left out; the efficiency of the bomb was actually reduced by 50%.

As a seven year old child, living in the north of England, in a village called Palmersville, about five miles from the sea, I witnessed the north-eastern sky turn strongly bright pink while I was waiting for a morning bus to school. It was many years later that I was able to tie my experience to the Tsar Bomba. I believe I was 1800 miles away. I distinctly remember that no-one else paid any attention to it, but it was a very significant event for me, even though I had no idea what the hell it was. I believe it was 8.32 British Time when I was at the bus stop. I checked into Moscow time and it all works out. I am sure others must have seen it but I have not met anyone who did.

It has stayed with me all my life. As a kid, when you see something weird, normally you tend to find some clue or explanation as you go through your early adult life. I didn't hear about Tsar Bomba until I was in my late forties and exploring the whole topic of nuclear tests. I was an early adopter of the Internet in 1992, and then the web came along and detailed information could be found online. I guess it was around 2002/3 that I began to work this out. I figured the the bright light must have gone way up into space, so visible from beyond the horizon. I just checked distance again and it's 1950 miles or so. 8.32 in the morning matches the time I was going to school and it was 3 hours behind Moscow time.
Hi. This is a link to the place in Google street view. The bus stand wasn't there back in the day, just a pole. The shop was there. (It was actually two small shops back then). The pink flash, which may or may not have been a double flash, was coming from the direction of the telephone distribution pole on the opposite side of the road. The flash lit a large part of the sky. On Google Earth, it looks like the right direction. I did wonder for some time if there might have been a secret UK test of a bomb in the North Sea, but I don't think such a thing could pass without any historical record. There are plenty of countries bordering the North Sea who would have raised serious issues with that. www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.0250431,-1.5484225,3a,72.5y,128.65h,99.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scED9azAftpWiNrZpb2beRA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I was told that the pilot (who was one of the most respected, skilled, and higher ranking pilots in the USSR) retired the next day after seeing the devastation. Stating something along the lines of, "if man can create something that can cause such death and destruction, I will not be a part of it."
As for the 50/50 figure of survival. The Americans had only ever done the classic "telephone pole" tests out in New Mexico and didn't know how a plane drop would work. So they lined the bombers with lead, told the pilots to put on the glasses before the drop, then just pull up as hard as possible afterwards and pray.
Jack Petry No, Americans tried at leadt a 37 megaton bomb.. so no
Bomber crews must have been elated when ICBM's and SLBM's took over.
I heard that it was Sakharov who started going against nuclear weapons. The pilot was promoted to Lt Colonel.
Jack Petry Definetely not xD. The US did both ground based and airdrop tests before Hiroshima... No one would tell a pilot to pull up as much as they can, that is stupid... the bombs had parachutes to slow the fall, for the bombers to be able to get out, and there was never a 50% chance of success, there was a 50% chance for an airstrike, which in my opinion wouldnt have been that dangerous..

Interesting fact.
When Khrushchev communicated with the creators of the bomb, they told him that it was possible to create a 100 megaton bomb and even more. He insisted on more power, but engineers and creators talked him out of it. In the end, it turned out just 51 megatons. The calculations were wrong and it exploded at 58.6 megatons. It is good that they were dissuaded, because many houses of the northern coastline had windows left, which is more than 400 kilometers. Hydrogen and oxygen burned out in the atmosphere about 10 min. The Nenets are such a people of the north, they thought it was the wrath of the spirits, the party leadership did not persuade them in this, and postpone the "fight against shamanism.". But their the deer within 700 km died.
It is terrible to imagine what happened if then a 100 or 200 megaton bomb was detonated.
