@@TheDuskOfAnEra darn nerds, ruining everything

That's hilarious, like nowadays military bases being revealed via fitness app usage ;)

It gets even better! The publisher in question (I think it was John W. Campbell?) revealed this information to the FBI voluntarily when they came to his office. And why was the FBI in his office? Because he'd published a short story describing the workings of a hypothetical atomic bomb BEFORE the Trinity test. They assumed he had stolen classified information. He finally explained how the information in the story could be pieced together from public sources, and then, just as the agents were leaving and he was officially off the hook, dropped the tidbit that he knew where the real bomb was being developed because so many subscribers' addresses had changed. I will never understand how this man managed to die of natural causes.

it is pretty smart to break the tasks of secret work into miniscule parts, and it does not require special training. Just watch the dial when it reaches this point switch this if it goes to here press this. Mr. X what do you so I turn switches thats it. No secrets revealed under torture.

If he designed aircraft, he had to have deduced that whatever he was building was *not* an aircraft.

I mean even with all that secrecy and discretion information still got leaked to the soviets and they used that to build their own nuclear weapons just 4 years after the american ones, so it wasnt perfectly hermetical

Don't underestimate the power of money and death. People will participate in all sorts of things if they are paid well enough and/or threatened to secrecy... That includes conspiracies.

tbh 75000 people over a few years is nothing compared to what most conspiracies need.

The people of Oakridge were supporting a popular war. The people of Oakridge were well paid. The people of Oakridge were protected by the military. The people of Oakridge were ignorant of the end goal. So most of the determinates of MICE (the acronym used to understand the motives of a conspirator in betraying his secret: Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego) are missing. Change any of the circumstances and a conspiracy might leak like a sieve.

Learn to love the bomb. Before the bomb wars were constant and countless. 100k were killed to prevent the death of 10 million and end the war. Since then wars have been few. NO wars between major powers and most importantly no world wars. The bomb brings peace, but it also can bring the end.

I can imagine a lot of people quitting but at the same time I can also imagine the town not having a use for those factory workers after the bomb was dropped

@@SuperDreammaster Nico De Groote nope. Wendover is the same as HAI, but RLL and Mustard are different. It's as simple as going to HAI's channel and going to the channel tab. This is further proven by the newest video on one of Wendover's other channels, Sam from Wendover, where he shows himself travelling to Rwanda with RLL. If you're wondering why they all have the same style, including real engineering, real science, polymatter, alternate history, and others, well I can't answer that but they all are now present on the Nebula streaming service, so I can assure you they are sharing editing tricks with each other if they also set up a platform together.

Did your grandfather get a certificate stating he worked there signed by Robert Oppenheimer? What an unbelievable story this is!

@@pretzelbomb6105 he's right; underrated comment!!

@@TommyElijahCabelloReal I totally agree!!

@@eli8829 "most of the radioactive material was produced there" maybe if you only count u-235 as Product. Remember they had enough Pu-239 for a test run as well as the live run, and supposedly enough in the works to make another device very shortly after if needed. I dont know the difference in weights used in the bombs so the U-235 bomb could have had more overall material I suppose. As far as most material produced Hanford takes the cake not 100% sure about during war production but 100% for sure for cold war production. Hanford produced 57 tons of product through its life making up a majority of the US stockpile. It was meant to do one thing and that thing was produce as much Pu-239 as possible.

If you only knew how big Oak ridge is underground you might not make that statement.

I never knew that and i live in knoxville

As someone who grew up in the Ridge, I can assure you there is only so much weirdness about OR that will fit in a 5 minute video.

How about the fact that Outer Drive was origionally part of the outer patrol road?

And that we (Oak Ridge) have our own Nostrodomus, John Hendrix.

I live in Wartburg. So it’s the only time I actually see people when I visit Oakridge a few times a week. Oakridge has more kids in their high school then Wartburg has people. Moral of the story that is completely unrelated to anything is that don’t live in Wartburg

HibernateMC wow

Nope, I've been there - the American Museum of Science and Energy is there now and schools go on field trips there and stuff

Deronn .J Well it's spelled like it's pronounced, unlike a lot of English words

Shamic Entertainment it depends some people pronounce it “intristing”

Sammy Intronkstingsed

Wait what?

And remember, they only had to keep the secret for four years. When the Trinity bomb test took place, the Army told the news media that a tragic explosion had blown up a munitions storage site (20,000 tons of TNT). Less than a month later, when Hiroshima was bombed, people understood that that story was a cover, and later the government confirmed the truth.

Some conspiracies are created as cover up :)

Well, the Soviets had spies in the Manhattan project and US authorities weren't able to keep this a secret at all. So much for the conspiracies...

I live near Hanford and the government even got with the nearby cities officials and almost universally everyone joined in on the secrecy. Its mind blowing that a city, a public one, kept a nuclear site secret or at least mostly secret. Now imagine that but a tight knit group of individuals with actual power, who knows what they could accomplish.

This would be a great video

No but their neighbor in the south is aiming at that status. Their infamous leader handling the talks.

It is Big Cuba.
