On July 19, 1957, five men stood at Ground Zero of an atomic test that was being conducted at the Nevada Test Site. This was the test of a 2KT (kiloton) MB-1 nuclear air-to-air rocket launched from an F-89 Scorpion interceptor. The nuclear missile detonated 10,000 ft above their heads.
A reel-to-reel tape recorder was present to record their experience. You can see and hear the men react to the shock wave moments after the detonation. The sound you hear on this clip is from the original reel to reel tape which is not available anywhere else.
The placard reading "Ground Zero; Population Five" was made by Colonel Arthur B. "Barney" Oldfield, the Public Information Officer for the Continental Air Defense Command in Colorado Spring who arranged for the volunteers to participate.
The five volunteers were:
Colonel Sidney Bruce
Lt. Colonel Frank P. Ball (technical advisor to the Steve Canyon tv show)
Major Norman "Bodie" Bodinger
Major John Hughes
Don Lutrel
and George Yoshitake, the cameraman (who wasn't a volunteer)
see George discuss his work photographing atomic and nuclear explosions in "Atomic Filmmakers."

A live Genie was detonated only once, in Operation Plumbbob on 19 July 1957. It was fired by USAF Captain Eric William Hutchison (pilot) and USAF Captain Alfred C. Barbee (radar operator) flying an F-89J over Yucca Flats. Sources vary as to the height of the blast, but it was between 18,500 and 20,000 ft (5,600 and 6,100 m) above mean sea level.[5] A group of five USAF officers volunteered to stand uncovered in their light summer uniforms underneath the blast to prove that the weapon was safe for use over populated areas. They were photographed by Department of Defense photographer George Yoshitake who stood there with them.[6] Gamma and neutron doses received by observers on the ground were negligible. Doses received by aircrew were highest for the fliers assigned to penetrate the airburst cloud ten minutes after explosion.[7][The F-89J that was used to launch the only live test is on static display at the Montana Air National Guard in Great Falls, Montana.

Weather: At shot-time, the temperature was 22'C, and the surface wind was calm. Winds were 15 and 47 knots from the south-southwest at burst altitude and at the top of the cloud (44,000 feet), respectively. Because of the height of detonation, there was no onsite fallout. Participants: Exercise Desert Rock troops, Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, Air Force Special Weapons Center and other Air Force personnel, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, other contractors.

It's nuts they were close enough to feel the heat immediately from the initial infrared burst (tell me if I'm wrong) and still it took awhile for the sound to reach them. I would imagine this is for a potential air to air missile. I'm relieved that we managed to avoid both destroying the entire planet with an ICBM exchange or an area of it using these smaller "tactical" nukes. I know they managed to stuff nuclear warheads into artillery shells and even a mortar iirc. I don't know how a war could be sustainably fought like that.

@@spamcan9208 The lower density atmosphere at 20,000 feet does mitigate some of the nuclear low yield blast, but it does extend the reach of radiation parallel to the ground and above (not much downward), which was the true test of the launch on the exercise’s participating aircraft. Yet much of the energy is dissipated upward, toward the stratosphere. The guys on the ground was a late schedule PR thing, yet exciting to watch.

" Bodie: "20 seconds. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. There it goes, the rocket is gone. We felt a heat pulse, a very bright light. A fireball it is red, the sky looks black about it. It is boiling above us there. It is wrapped-" (Bodie is muffled briefly but the sound of the shockwave reaching them) Bodie: "-its color - there is the ground wave. It is over folks, it happened. The mounds are vibrating. It is tremendous, directly above our heads!" (The other men shout excitedly in the background) Bodie (louder, excitedly): "It worked! It worked! Haha! Good, good. There is a huge fireball, the mounds are still echoing through here! Wasn't that a perfect, perfect shot?!" Colonel Sidney Bruce, taking the microphone: "My only regrets right now are - this is Colonel Bruce - that everyone couldn't have been out here at ground zero with us. Okay Bodie." *returns microphone to Bodie. Bodie: "We can still see it - it's a very odd cloud. Uh... there is white in the center and there's a bright orange ring towards the outside of it. And below it, there's like a hazy cloud. I don't know Colonel Bruce - I've never seen a cloud like this from an atomic detonation. Have you?" Colonel Bruce: "no I haven't, Bodie. There seems to be quite a halo connected with it. There's quite a bit of mist up there.. I'm not uh... this is new to me." Bodie: "Maybe seeing it from ground zero, we're missing a mushroom. But there doesn't seem to be any evidence of a mushroom type of stem that we have associated with other detonations. Folks - it was just a wonderful thrill to see that interceptor come in. That rocket go at zero count. This thing went off with a white flash... it was just beautiful."

@trolleriffic 10 ай бұрын

There's glowing ionised air but it also turns into a reddish-brown cloud which you can see at 1:15 - this is nitrogen dioxide formed by the intense heat effectively "burning" the nitrogen in the air. As the cloud rises even higher it starts to form ice crystals as the relatively moisture-rich air from lower down is cooled in the very cold stratosphere. These ice crystals are much more reflective so the cloud appears to glow because of reflected sunlight which is what you're seeing at 2:06.

@vibratingstring And it's heading into the stratosphere where it disperses over a huge area over a long time, rather than falling straight back down onto them.

The explosion was far enough away. It probably wasn't good for their eyes to look directly into the blast, but other than that it's fine.

It was an air burst so there was very little if any radioactive fallout.

About 2.4 ton of air shielding per sq m or 32 in. of concrete or 1/8192 of gamma etc radiation not filtered out. I wouldn’t have volunteered, someone probably just told them there was no danger.

There would be no appreciable gamma dose at that distance.

The way of war arabic Europe Asia way of life. ....this country is sad to not accept warfare and seeing a US soldier life really out there fighting. A German man once said he from German in ww2 did to as well as foreign military men of War or in war. Why is ok for me and my family be sad not the Americans.

@@maksphoto78 I actually agree entirely with what I think his overarching message is about the denigration and demonization of masculinity by what is presently a very pathetic sick minority currently vitiating the West at large, and I think the guys at ground 0 in the video (at least the ones who knew what they were there for!) were definitionally courageous.
