How many Pound make 1 Megaton? 1 Megaton [Mt] = 2 204 622 621.848 lbs ….not Mt = 1,000,000 lbs
11th biggest explosion was after I ate that spicy burrito
Incorrect, 1 Megaton is equal to 1 million tons of TNT, 50 Megatons is equal to 100 Billion Pounds.
The really scary part? The Tsar Bomba had been modified to reduce its blast yield before its detonation. Originally, the blast yield was supposed to be about 100 megatons, but it was reduced by half under fears of widespread radioactive fallout.
does anyone notice ammonia incidences are not uncommon?
I am surprised the Pepcon disaster didn't make it on to the list. Fantastic and informative vid though, thanks. Subbed 🙂
You forgot about the PepCon Explosion in Henderson, Nevada
Why didn't you talk about Explosion in Bombay during World War2?
I mean Fort Staikin ship explosion.
Very powerful and deadly disaster.
In the words of my second (ever) "Boss" on my second summer working for him, "God… I LOVE it when stuff goes kablooey… BUT NOT WHEN IT'S MINE G** D***IT!!!" ;o)
I live right outside of Texas City. I had heard that it was pretty literally wiped off of the map, but I don't know why I never thought to look up what went wrong. Partly it's due to my age. The internet didn't exist when I first heard of it. It's awesome to see the footage and know what really occurred! Thanks much!
We are a bizzare species for sure.
Aaa
1aaaa
Wasnt the Tian jin explosion bigger then the one in beirut? why is it missing?
1:20 That's not SS Highflyer. That's the protected cruiser HMS Highflyer, which was in Halifax at the time of the explosion of the Mont Blanc.
Do anybody know just how much of this video is a lie..
Top quality content as usual, especially loved the extra tidbits of info, i wasnt aware that nitrate was stored in Beruit for 6 years, wow. Thanks guys!
The Tsar bomb was named after the Mad Monk who was a man the was very religious and had terrible experiences with demonic visions! He tried to end his life and Russia shot him and then beat him to death only to discover that he Escaped the chains after being thrown in a freezing River. He had got up after being shot in his head and then they beat him to death and he was able to live after so much trauma.
My Grandfather survived the sinking of the Lexington I in the battle of Midway which I now know why he was deaf most of his life! He was a gunner and the 4th Kamikaze pilot hit the artillery chamber which there is actual footage of the Lexington 1 blowing up. I really wish the movie about the Battle of Midway would have shown the destruction of the Aircraft Carrier Lexington 1 my Grandfathers name was John Milton Falcon. Which is super ironic because I died racing motocross in Milton Florida and come back from the dead after stabbing the face of another tabletop jump 140 feet away on 1/20/01. It’s also awesome that SpaceX named the Falcon 9 after me because I got into flying rc helicopters while I was stuck in a wheelchair for a year and stood for the 1st day of 9/11/01 in which my uncle who retired as a general flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon survived the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11/01 in which he was attending a pilot banquet in the Pentagon on 9/11/01. ❤️
A megaton is 1 million tons of t.n.t
Teacher: So, what did we learn about ammonium nitrate everybody?
Me: It brings the boom.
Blowing up islands for science lol
Beirut was because of sparks by welders
I live less than a mile from port Chicago.
Covid 19 was a scam
16:10, Check your math. 1 megaton equals 2 BILLION pounds of TNT. So, 50MT equals 100 BILLION pounds of TNT. I can't believe I'm the only one who caught this error.
ALL THESE EXPERIMENTS WERE PERFORMED BY VERY STUPID PEOPLE, THESE EXPLOSIONS ARE WAS CAUSING OUR PLANET PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW EVEN THOUGH THEY HAPPED DECADES ALONG. THE WORLD BACK THEN WAS LIKE A SPACE SHUTTLE USING ITS THRUSTERS TO MOVE THE SHUTTLE AWAY FROM SPACE DEBRIS.EVERY BOMB TEST HAS CAUSED OUR PLANETS ROTATION AROUND THE SUN SOME KIND OF DISRUPTION. THIS IS WHY THE SUPER POWERS HAVE CURTAILED TO SOME EXTENT THE TESTING OF THESE TESTS NOT BECAUSE THEY CARE BUT SELF PRESERVATION.
The 2020 Beirut explosion, probably the most filmed explosion in history with literally hundreds of different videos taken….And how many do you put in your video? ZERO. Smooth guys. Real smooth. 🙄
Can we please stop playing soldier now?
not to be that guy, but I would’ve liked to see the tianjin china port explosion. That was one of the biggest explosions in the past 5 years
Amazing video…. like 😍😘
It says this video came out 10 hours ago but I SWAER I saw it up on yt a few weeks ago?! Weird
“Kilotons of energy” doesn’t make sense. A kiloton is a measurement of mass, equal to one million kilograms or one billion grams. A 5 kiloton blast releases energy equivalent to what would be released from 5 kilotons of TNT detonating, but the energy itself is measured in units of energy, like joules
Other than that nitpicky thing, excellent video, informative and interesting!
Benzize. Shit, none of what you said is really true
This probably isn't in the spirit of this video but the biggest explosion ever caught on camera was the Shoemaker levy 9 comet fragment G impact on Jupiter, a 6000 GIGAton (6 million megaton) explosion that created a fireball bigger than the Earth.
Why are stupid humans 🤬our planet
@Underworld
1 Megaton = 1 Million pounds?? You do mean 1 million tons!
why does mishandling of ammonium nitrate happen so often??!!! we should've already learned our lesson like 5 times by now
TLDR.. ammonium nitrate is dangerous and we don't seem to understand that
Booms are scary
It was the Halifax Incident where scientists learned about the more devastating „Mach-Stamm-Effect“. The Explosion was worse because the ship floated in water, and the shockwave was reflected by the Ground. So they detonated Little Boy and Fat Man ABOVE Ground.
wtf
