A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945

A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto - YouTube

 

I have rarely seen anything so depressing and so anger provoking. If nuclear weapon testing was confined to Washington DC, London, Paris, Peking, Karachi, New Delhi and Jeruselem (Israel is said to have nuclear weapons but the testing thereof wasn't shown on the videoclip), then the enthusiasm for testing nuclear weapons might be somewhat less.

It makes me angry that a lot of testing represents jingoistic pissing contests between the big powers of the USA and USSR, and the pissant puny minor powers of France and Great Britain and latterly India and Pakistan.

Britain and its Australian sycophantic political arse lickers didn't seem to mind the cost to the Indigines Australians resident in the testing areas, nor did it seem that the feckin' Frogs cared much about the local yokels in the parts of the "Pacific" paradise that they tested their weapons in either.

Although there is a nuclear test ban treaty, not all are signatories to it, and some pricks are still banging on under the radar.

Thanks for posting it Gator...it should be seen by more people.

 

And the media claims sabre rattling from other nations?!

 

One can only imagine that if all the money that went into the building and testing of these bombs was put into developing a new type of energy where we would be today !

 

I have a very sick feeling now...

 

Thats..a lot of testing over the year's...It's a wonder we all don't have 3 eyeball's and 4 legs'...

 

I though Californias earth quakes were natural, learn someting new everyday

 

And the government has the audacity to preach about environmental effects of hairspray and automobiles. Bet all those nukes really helped the environment and the people living therein. Should've just had everyone practice their nuclear testing on Tehran.

 

SHEESH! It's a wonder our whole western half isn't glowing brightly....... Between 1958 and the early 70's, the old Earth was lit up like a pinball machine on overload!

 

I once studied surving a nuclear war, it is survivable.

 

Never would have guessed so many of the damn things have been set off. We're still here. Must be survivable... please God.

 

Las Vegas near "Hot" Ground?

Sort of makes me think again about going anywhere near Rachel, Nev. and the Lil Ale-E-Inn diner and bookstore--near Area 51--north of Las Vegas.

 

That map makes it look like Jolly Olde England bombed the beejeezus out of poor Australia! Of course, the vast majority of these tests were deep underground...... Probably had ol' Satan wondering what the Devil the noisy Humans 'upstairs' were doing to themselves........

 

Ask the Bikini People

Some Pacific Islands are still ininhabitable it seems. The French, British and Americans didn't give much care nor concern for the wishes of the local inhabitants of testing ground islands....but colonial nations rarely do I guess. The Australians regrettably didn't have much spine when it came to nuclear testing in Australia by the British. If the British wanted to test its nukes, it could have used the Isle of Man if it wanted to...but the Manx folk rated a bit more consideration than some random tribal Australian Aboriginals. : S

 

Are you kidding? That would have played Old Harry with the Isle of Man TT Races......

 

Chest thumping... One side detonates a couple, "Wooooooot! I'm such a badass I bomb myself..." Other side says, "Stupid Amerikans, supposed to test bomb on ignorant Chechen peasants"
