Found video of this online, it was the largest explosive device to ever be detonated on Earth(October 30, 1961), the video of it is really good.
I'm sure others have seen this before but I had never seen it.

LoL, type in those coordinates on Google Earth and take a look.
BIG badda-boom.
-
that looks like fake video.
-
Look at this chart that compares the size of this bomb to other atomic bombs like Hiroshima & Trinity.

Its made of liver? :confused:

How? Indulge us.

Is the picture not showing up?
-
Nope, says "Visit Eatliver.com to see this picture."
-
Works for me. <shrug>
Nice sound too.
-
Liver bomb is the worst. <shiver>
(whats left of)----> zuii
-
so, it is not real?
-
onion fallout could render lands around uninhabitable for many generations :pray
-
:lol there is a lake at those exact quordonites and nothing else around but dirt
-
This particular 50 megaton yield Hydrogen Bomb detonated 2.5 miles above "said lake". Now if you really wanna have some fun, google this:
"Tybee Island, 1958".

lol, they cant find it. it would be a cold day in hell if it blow up.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks fake to me too. The guy that made its site is here i think: http://kuroiso.org/
This is the real footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfoQsZa8F1c
Very well done tho!

Thats better. WOW, that is masive. what is the radios on that blast zone?

When the Tsar Bomba was tested it was set for a 50MT yield, it had a max yield of 100MT, had a small runaway reaction and topped out at 55MT.
Here's a good video of it.

The video is a computer generated recreation of the explosion. This is the actual footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfoQsZa8F1c&NR=1

From one of my favorite sights.http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Russia/TsarBomba.html
We made some big badabooms too. We actually had 25 mt free fall bombs deployed and many in the 10 mt class as well.http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Allbombs.html
Even still, in 2009, we aren't exactly helpless.http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Wpngall.html Look at the "total yield" numbers of the US enduring stockpile. Even our little cruise missiles can be dialed to blow at 150 kt, "almost 10x the yield of Hiroshima". We have 14 Ohio class SSBNs, down from 18, each one capable of launching 24 Trident D-5. Each D-5 missile capable of delivering up to 10 MIRVed warheads. Each warhead with a yield of 475 kt, "30x Hiroshima". And we can put each warhead into a ballpark from over 4,000 miles away, launched from a platform so silent even we cant find them.
We probably now have about 1/3 of the special weapons that we had in my day. Back then, '70s, it was the height of the Cold War and we had them, and delivery systems, all over the place. Most at a very high state of readiness and it would have taken only seconds and/or minutes for the entire thing to launch once we got the "go".

Hope that we will never have to used them, excet for space program.

It was real. Big bad bomb!

"Tybee Island, 1958".
It doesn't have the "nuclear capsule" in it and instead only contains a lead core simulator along with 400 pounds of HE and enriched uranium. Going to be hard to get a reaction going with that.
Leave it the hell alone.

I wish there was a way we could get rid of every WMD on the planet. And keep it free of them.
But I guess I'm just wishing.

A bunch of nuts with AKs have proven to be far more dangerous than countries with WMDs.

Not according to the Pilot who jettisoned it after the collision. IF this was the case than the USAF would have long, told the public, or at least the inhabitants of the area.
But I agree, leave it the hell alone.

I disagree, read the following:
The Mk15 bomb type utilized a removable nuclear capsule, which was required for a nuclear explosion, but was not present in this transportation-configured bomb.
An Atomic Energy Agency (AEC) to Air Force “Transfer of Custody” receipt, dated 4 February 1958, confirms no nuclear capsule was present, therefore no nuclear yield was possible.
http://www.af.mil/library/posture/savannah.pdf
The bomber pilot maintains that the weapon did not have the nuclear capsule when he took off.

I think the only real threat posed from the bomb is it could be a dirty bomb, but that thing is probably under so much mud by now it will never be found, or pose a threat.
-

I got it.
The radius of the fireball was 2.3 kilometres (1.4 miles). The blast radius (area in which total destruction ensured) was 13km (8 miles).
The most important thing to note is that this bomb was designed as a 100 Megaton device (Yield equivalent of 0.1 billion tonnes of TNT). If detonated, everything within a 48 kilometer (30 mile) diameter would be vaporised. Everything within a 195 kilometer (120 mile) diameter would be incinerated in a fireball. This would ensure total destruction of a large city like New York, Paris or London, as well as devastation on its outskirts.

lol. I'm glad I live nowhere near it.

I can see it now. "Hi welcome to the neighborhood. We're the welcome wagon with an assortment of cheeses and crackers. Now just some stuff you should be aware of you must keep your property neat and well maintained, don't have any junked cars on your lawn, and there is a nuclear bomb that was dropped back in '58, but it wasn't armed for a nuclear explosion, so be careful where you locate your garden."

There's one in the Greenland Glacier as well. It will return to the sea eventually, probably in pieces..
-
non sequitur
-
I caught a vid on the Hist channel about this thing.... WTG Russia, now turn europe's gas back on.
-
Its made of liver? :confused:
Lmao!!
You owe me half a beer and a roll of paper towels to clean off my monitor!!

Here is a photo of it on the way to the drop....
