Find 14 minutes of your precious time and watch this video. A symphony of nuclear destruction. Between 1945 and 1998 the mankind performed 2053 nuclear explosions.

The video shows a time lapse of these events. Except for the two Japanese cities, those were all nuclear tests conducted as part of developing nuclear weapons, the majority of them under ground.

You can see months and years passing by and each country is assigned a different tone. The video ends in 1998 but we all know that since then North Korea did some tests as well.



A pure horror to watch. I never knew British used Australia for this messy business...

I just couldn't help myself...

In all seriousness, I was surprised by how many nuclear tests the French were doing. Also found it strange that the UK performed tests inside the US and Russia's test were spread out across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

It's interesting you should post this, Robert. I just saw it a couple days ago on my son's face book page. I was shocked and horrified just as you said, and never dreamed we would subject our earth to that much nuclear fall-out for what!... developing a weapon it has been proven we should never use!

It makes me so mad!!!! grrrr

I'm with you Lucky and hear hear to disarmament!!!... although I am not holding my breath. There will need to be a certain amount of trust and friendship in the world that isn't there yet...But that is our job eh? And we will keep working on it!

Overmind, it has been some time since I was treated to Weird Al. Love it! Thank you!

(((((hugs))))) from Australia to all you beloved "hippies!

Weird Al was my favorite music artist when I was a kid, I have most of his CD's.

My two boys enjoyed his music too. His videos are great! LOL

I remember as if it was today. The moment I learned about the nuclear threat to our planet.

I was about 12 years old, I was in our kitchen talking to my mum. I was inquiring and she was explaining to me that people had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth ten times all over.

I then asked her if we would be dead too if there was a nuclear war and she said yes.

I went to my room and I just could not bear the heaviness of the situation. The fear. The ever present fear.

I can't beleive we actually used them in Japan on real people, got to be the worst crime ever.. hey i also watched this programme a few weeks back i was shcked to hear that, i think it was just before the first or second world war, england and the united states were preparing for a major war between each other, i forgot what stopped it.. imagine that, something to do with squabbling over canada....

Sarah,

I know that there were some disputes over some islands near Seattle. British claimed the ownership of them but lost arbitration and eventually withdrew. That was the last hostile military act between the two nations. Long before there were nuclear weapons available.

Robert

I am shamed to say, I never heard of that Sarah and Robert!

Now this is INSANELY scary!!!

Remember all those cold war movies where nuclear missile crews are frantically dialing in the secret codes sent by the White House to launch nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles? Well, for two decades, all the Minuteman nuclear missiles in the US used the same eight-digit numeric passcode to enable their warheads: 00000000.

And:

And while Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara directly oversaw the installation of PALs on the US-based ICBM arsenal, US Strategic Command generals almost immediately had the PAL codes all reset to 00000000 to ensure that the missiles were ready for use regardless of whether the president was available to give authorization.

It is a miracle that we avoided a nuclear war. A true miracle! The Divine Lady Compassion must have acted.........

I am shocked and appalled and then grateful that human kind is still around today to be shocked and appalled!!!!!
