This is so cool that Nickelodeon went through all of this work and expense to set up the perfect explosion shot for their SpongeBob cartoon! It looks like they may even had help from the US military, so awesome! This is why I love the show!
it was Plankton on his own
SpongeBob is based off bikini lagoon hence the term bikini bottom. The characters reflect sea life that was effected by the nuclear testing done by the government. Hence why SpongeBob dresses like its the 50s

Wow! I had no idea. Then again, I've never seen an episode of SpongeBob.@@RhdEji
@@RhdEjithat's actually interesting, thanks
Watching this DVD for the first time with a good drink and high as hell was one of the most powerful cinematic experiences I’ve had. On a badass surround system with projector my jaw was on the floor.
pena q vc não percebeu a montagem no video: aqui eles te explicam melhor, mas veja com atenção desta vez:
La bombe atomique n'existe pas, l'arme nucléaire n'existe pas
sounds fun i have to try that
That is a very intense hang
Thanks for the idea
Nice. What’s the DVD called?
this is the explosion they show in spongebob when something blows up
tsar bomba should show up or something.
Yeah, but when you think about it, that’s a little fucked up.
In a children’s show. Well sorta.
panda_coffee animation because that's the bomb that created bikini bottom

We have a 93 year old customer we see twice a week who witnessed this. Another now deceased friend, a career Colonel said the event was terrifying.
Thats awsome and terrifying
It looks freaking awesome. I guess the idea of something so powerful is scary but the concept is endlessly fascinating
@@exactingbirdy only terrifying
My grandfather was on a destroyer several miles away from this bomb. He said he saw it toss battleships around like toys.
FelixCalamatus How would he describe the sound of the explosion? Also was he a sailor who extended military service or a scientist?
My father was on the carrier USS Shangrila and saw both blasts.
Old people are always exaggerating bro
It is well documented that the blast literally removed all of the water straight to the sea floor. That kind of power most certainly would have tossed a battleship. People exaggerate, sure. But the destructive power here is hard to comprehend @@amineaouissi368
@@JoshuaTootell most of the 'damage' was radiation, not the 'blast' and you can clearly see that from the footage
Could you imagine being a part of these operations? The feeling must be so surreal seeing this in person.
Yeah alot of them died there and then ...

RIP sea life.
Actually, undisturbed by humans for decades, this place has become one of the world’s best preserved lagoons. The sunken Saratoga is now home to many sea life forms

@@isabellavalenzuela9982 he was actually born bc of that explosion. its a theory that the bikini atoll, where spongebob plays, is only filled with mutated fish because of the atom bomb tests
Después de eso, hubo lluvia de "peces radioactivos".... ☢ ☢
When will HBO make miniseries to portrait Americans as evil for killing all these people who were present there and animals they used for these tests like they did with their Chernobyl miniseries?
USS Saratoga, survived WWII Pacific battles and ferried 29,204 troops home after the war, sad to see her sink for this test.
Think about the legendary Japanese and German vessels wasted here
I can't imagine a better way to go. Rather than languishing in some shipyard waiting to be scrapped, she got an explosive sendoff that also allowed valuable data to be collected.
There goes Bikini Bottom
LOL I remember that when it blows up but gets repaired in less than a few minutes!
Edit: the bomb was called Bikini Baker. Ergh it autocorrected to Bikini Bottom.
After this also 45 megatons worth of Castle tests, 18 megatons of Redwing tests and 12 megatons of Hardtack 1 tests. You can't deny that the bottom of bikini lagoon, eg bikini bottom got nuked the shit out of.
Also the bomb was named "Helen of Bikini", the test was named Operation Crossroads Baker and location was Bikini lagoon. You're mixing up some stuff here.
It was bikini atoll
Maybe the radioactivity is what created Bikini bottom and its talking aquatic life forms.
Imagine seeing a blast like this filmed with today's high definition cameras. That would be amazing.
Narthumpulous yes😍
The EMP would probably fry the electronics in the camera and memory card or possibly burn out the image sensor.
Cgi
@Ilikebeaversandeaglesupyourass I wasn't speaking from a political perspective. I meant scientifically. It would be very spectacular to see how a nuclear blast would effect the natural forces of the atmosphere in high definition. Or even if they used a high speed camera, so they could slow it down.
Oh God, you people have no clue. Since the last 100 years, color data and accuracy is the only thing that has improved. The video quality is still the same.
Baker was the coolest blast ever recorded in my opinion. Look at that column of water and compare it to those HUGE ships, that is an insane amount of water being thrust up into the air! It was beautifully symmetrical and round.
The 1957 movie 'Attack of the Crab Monsters' used that footage at the beginning, then recent version deleted it.
I would say that the shockwave is the most perfect human-made circle in our history. The curve is perfect to the very atomic level.
Yeah, cool
RDS-6S
Agreed, it's stunning. The Wikipedia entry explains why:
"Photographs of Baker are unique among nuclear detonation pictures. The searing, blinding flash that usually obscures the target area took place underwater and was barely seen. The clear image of ships in the foreground and background gives a sense of scale. The large condensation cloud and the vertical water column are distinctive Baker shot features. One picture shows a mark where the 27,000-ton battleship USS Arkansas was."
The music hits as hard as that explosion 😂😂
Didn't hit hard enough to make the clouds move though.
It was detonated 500 feet below sea level.
Music name ..Please
@@gideon4923 idk I'd have to go digging. Its classic instrumental of some kind so maybe I can get Google to search it through the sound.✌️
@@gideon4923 The music is Deus Vult, the Trinity and beyond sound track 😉
I always imagined that more radioactivity would be released from an underwater test, considering the fact that the water vapor most likely carries the radioactive particles better than dust or air itself. That wall of condensed water vapor is truly terrifying when you think about it.
It's the same amount of radioactivity, but it doesn't get carried into a mushroom cloud into the upper atmosphere. It immediately comes crashing back down and then gets diluted pretty fast in the ocean after that.
Locally the radiation is a lot worse, but it beats the shit out of a radioactive cloud that will travel half the world depositing its fallout everywhere. But I still wouldn't want to live there or eat anything produced in the area, as it's still heavily contaminated 70 years afterwards.
Not true. The water column rose up to about 2 km before collapsing more or less completely back into the lagoon. The steam created condensed quickly and also returned to the lagoon waters. On land, the mushroom cloud can rise thousands of feet into the air, high enough to reach the jet stream.
Local fallout vs “self cleansing” detonations (referring to air burst)
Also doesn't water do a good job of absorbing and scattering neutrons slowing them down? So radiation emanating from a source within alot of water is dispersed a little bit right?
@@roberttaylor6108 Sure, but neutrons are only created in the microsecond off active fission. They are mostly stopped by the bomb case before it has even noticed anything unusual is going on.
1:05 And Godzilla was born.
Wow, the color footage is seriously impressive.
lol
Referring to the camera in the B-19 drones not the actually detonation. Then again the shot was said to be a bit disappointing compared to Trinity.

Squidward: "Ouch..."
Damm it was really cool how in minus one they recreated this scene with cgi which look so incredible to look at on the big screens.
This test is incredible to watch and still gives me goosebumps every time I see it. This doco is also incredible to watch. If you’re reading this comment and haven’t watched it, I do recommend giving it a go. Fascinating stuff
No fish have been harmed in this controlled laboratory test.
Because they would've all been scared away by the towing of boats into position.
The armada of ships were already here from Able
Yes, but still. Fish are very skittish creatures.
They did survive in the form of mutants ie spongebob and the gang fantheories.wikia.com/wiki/SpongeBob_SquarePants
Yes they actually were. In fact the radiation of fish was so much that the US had to evacuate Bikini natives who had no food to eat
Wow the Geiger counters were going off the rails and no one had on a bit of protective gear. This is some really incredible footage
The backhround music was so scary. Sounds like end of the world is coming.
It is.
For these people it is
Still long way to go
Every generation has thought the world would end during their lifetime. Well, it's still here.
Hope it does soon
My wonderful friend, Warren Zink, was serving aboard the USS Salt Lake City during Operation Crossroads. He will turn 94 on 11/13/3021.
That's amazing. Send him my thanks for his service in such a thing.
My Old Man was on the USS Rockingham. APA229 He went aboard the Prinz Eugen to help with scrub down. Forty years later he applied for "Cancer Money' but was turned down because they said, "If you lived, you were good... If you didn`t Oh Well..."

You can see at the start of the explosion how the shockwave moves faster on water than on air.

Somewhere in the water Godzilla's flesh has fried and blasted away and mutated him into his new form.
Great movie, though. I gotta watch that again for a lifetime
The music was so powerfully perfect in this movie.
Am I the only one who came here after Godzilla movies?
2:00 you can see how much faster the shockwave moves through the water. it moves like multiple times faster through water than through the air above the water. i think it crushes the bottom of the ships completely. it causes immediate heavy damage to the ships below the surface of the water.
That makes sense, for the exact same reason sound travels better underwater: More matter to transport the actual energy wave.
@@314rftjup. The same thing happened in Beirut. People felt the tremble of the explosion way before the shockwave hit them.
It made Godzilla stronger

RIP to that tiny ship it was directly under.
Wasnt that the LSM-60?
Correct.
Great new footage, beautiful restoration. Hands down the most spectacular of all the atomic tests despite being one of the smallest.
I agree. I've always thought the smaller ones were more interesting, as the big megaton tests produce so much light that it's hard to see anything.
Always humbling to remember that, by the time you see the flash, the entire reaction is over and done--it winds down and ends before any light manages to even escape the bomb case.
The smallest?!?!?
New footage? They didn't do another baker test.
@@naverilllang New as far as the TH-cam audience on this channel is concerned.
Duh.
Having seen the original many times, the film restoration looks great. History can be disturbing, but needs to be preserved. Also, Bill Shatner is up there with Mike Rowe as Narrator Voice.
The color shots look great!
Remember seeing this on the opening scene from Godzilla(1997or 98?), it was mind-blowing.
It is still kinda unreal to watch
And in Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla gets mutated while swimming in Bikini Atoll, not knowing that humans are doing a nuclear test
The Crossroad Baker shot had been used in many movies as it is spectacular to say the least, thank you for the extended footage, Ciao, L
butt dont forget Spongebob
@@TheGreatAndOriginalPedroPony Hola @Si, ¡Lo siento, me olvidé de Spongebob! Ciao, L
Who's here because of Minus One?
This is my wife's favourite test; the fact she has one at all something of an indictment of living with me! It is *lovely* though.
The detail also is massively interesting. For instance I have always read that the real contamination came from the low-level 'mist' that surged from around the very lowest stalk of the mushroom cloud. However I have never really seen it before properly. In this clip it is clear as day... Amazing.
I cannot *wait* to see what Castle Romeo looks like in real 1080p!!!

3:24 on the right with the tall super structure, for those wondering.
The colour footage of the mushroom cloud, particular the one that shows its different hues and the highly radioactive base surge so clearly are *amazing.*
1:11 that gray smudge right there- is the ex-U.S.S. _Arkansas_ (BB-33). Lifted completely upright. That's terrifying if you ask me. The roughly 30,000 ton battleship was tossed around like a play thing in a bath tub, some of the closer ships were completely blown apart if not vaporized.
@@peterson7082 And that was only 20-23KT... Mike was 10MT! You can understand why the Allied Navies in particular were very, very worried about the Soviets just sailing the wet assembly of a Hydrogen bomb into even a busy _civilian_ harbour installed within a cargo ship and detonating it while both sides still believed an air-deliverable weapon of that type was impossible!!!
The footage of the roasted sheep and goats is from Crossroads Able. Some of the unfortunate pigs and rats that remained were used in Crossroads Baker. Bravo VCE! Oh, that was to come to Bikini eight years later.
Spongebob : Do you taste metal?
Patrick : He's delusional, take him out of here
"I need feedwater in my reactor core."
Awesome! I've watched the original many, many times but I never noticed the reflected shock wave coming off the large ship at the right of the screen in the first sequence. Watch for a second condensation cloud radiating from the ship right after it's hit by the shock wave!

2:00 a spongebob meme was born
I’ve always wondered at 1:04
If there is more extended footage of that underwater bubble and how they did it..
Me too..I was wondering if it was actual or stock footage just added trinity and beyond movie...I think it was stock footage because there was no flash
That's not a nuke, Spongebob just tripped and accidentally throwing an exploding pie at Squidward

The backstory of this test:
The reason it was called *Operation Crossroads* was because they wanted to test just how vulnerable Navy ships would be to a nuclear attack. This was long before the use of atomic weapons meant nuclear armageddon, and radiation was still not very well understood. To the military of the time, they were just much bigger bombs, so their limited use in a future conflict seemed inevitable.
The 'crossroads' the military was at was whether the Navy or the soon-to-exist U.S. Air Force was going to be the major war player of the future. There were still no nuclear missiles or submarines, just bombers. So the Air Force wanted everyone to believe they were the future, and that warships were now a thing of the past. Especially if they showed that an entire carrier task group could be wiped out with just a single atomic bomb.
The results were mixed. Although the Air Force thought that the test proved exactly that, the civilian and military leadership knew better. The delivery by huge Air Force bombers was cumbersome and slow. And everyone knew that, eventually, bomber squadrons themselves would be highly vulnerable to nuclear attack, both in the air and on the ground.
Something this test _did_ show was how much everyone had underestimated the seriousness of radioactive contamination. They really thought that the more lightly damaged ships could have been decontaminated easily by literally just having the crews swab the decks with chemicals. They actually had sailors do this expecting it to work. When the superiors were told by the scientists how heavily radioactive those ships remained, they pulled the cleanup crews off all the ships. And they recommended canceling the third 'Charlie' test.
The fear of this conjured up images of a horrible future where hundreds of naval 'ghost ships' littered the world's oceans, still floating but with crews long dead from invisible radiation..
I just readed all of it to make sure if it was a Godzilla thing
When you produced so many battleships during world war two, that you might as well use them for scale references for your test explosions.
1:11 that gray smudge right there- is the ex-U.S.S. _Arkansas_ (BB-33). Lifted completely upright.

70 ships and a nuclear bomb? r.i.p tax payers
Kobe those were captured ww2 ships
my comment was a little tongue in cheek, still, the salvage from 70 ships would total millions of dollars
Not all of them
There were 95 ships and only 9 were able to be scrapped. The rest were left so heavily irradiated by the mist the bomb created that Groves had to drop everything.
Only 4-5 were captured ships, the rest were leftover USN vessels
The music is perfect.
I almost feel like they did this one as if they were a bunch of 12 yr old boys just simply wanting to blow shit up in the water for fun. This is my favorite
"Whoooo...lives in a pineapple under the sea?"
"No one Captain. The sea floor was destroyed by the detonation and all life forms wiped out."
"The contaminated ships became radioactive stoves, and would have burned all living things aboard them with invisible and painless but deadly radiation."

一見観たら凄い爆発のように見えますが、都市を全滅させるほどではないように見えます。2:00～2:01（オレンジ色の爆破部分）をよく見たら、広範囲の爆破ではないように見えますよね。周囲は海水なので、地上の映像のように広範囲で燃え広がらないというのはわかるんですけど・・・。実際、爆発しているのはかなりの小範囲。空母にしてもそうですが、損傷が極端すぎるのは何故なんでしょうね。殆んどの船が沈んでいないのは何故なんですか？沈んだのは空母一隻だけ？損傷が他の船に比べて極端すぎる。爆発が花火職人技に見えます。映像はCG技術とかもあったりするので、余計に何がなんだかわからなくなりますよね。この映像がCGではなかったとしても、観た感じは花火職人技のような感じに見えます。広がり方が花火に似ている。煙の花火版みたいな・・・。

It's alarming how clueless we were regarding the effects of radioactive fallout when testing these bombs.
Nature periodically provides explosions similar to this in the form of meteor impacts. Every once in a while, a giant rock, moving at tremendous speeds, slams into the sea creating a blast that can be heard for hundreds of miles.
At 1:11 you can briefly see a vertical dark shape running up the right side of the mushroom cloud's "stalk". That is actually a ship that had been flipped on its end by the force of the explosion.
It's not. It's a disruption of the plume by that ship.
@@kitsuneneko2567 No, it is the ship being lifted by the blast and you can see it falling back down if you zoom in. It was the USS Arkansas - “The Arkansas was the closest ship to the blast and was lifted upwards by the rising water column. At 562 feet long (more than three times as long as the water is deep) and weighing 27,000 tonnes, the Arkansas was bow-pinned to the seafloor and toppled backward into the water curtain of the spray column.”
