One of the national labs in NM -- Sandia, Los Alamos --had a video with an interminable series of nuke test clips set to dramatic music, I wonder if this was it. It was so sickening after a while that I had to stop watching.
No this is from a film called "Atomic Journeys: Welcome to Ground Zero" which is a series of lovingly restored nuke test clips set to dramatic music narrated by William Shatner.
I bet somewhere, far far away, there is a species that marshalled their greatest scientists to grow a giant flower, the blooming of which was regarded as a turning point in the international flower show. Displays of flowers subsequently escalated in size and extravagance, until the greater part of all nations' treasure was consumed in the pursuit, and people began to fear being smothered by pollen.
Underground testing prevents fallout from entering the atmosphere (mostly) and was the only allowed way to detonate nukes after the limited test ban treaty in the 60's
I dunno man. Planting a 5 megaton bomb under a mile of Aleutian Island rock made it jump 20 feet. You know the government feels about weapons of mass distruction.
There was a movie made in the UK back in the 60's where the Americans and Soviets coincidentally detonate test nukes at both poles simultaneously and knock the Earth out of orbit and send it spinning towards the sun.
