Declassified Video Shows The Terrifying Power Of Underwater Nuclear Blast In 1946

Under water Nuclear Test went wrong in 😱

In 1946 the u.s military set off a nuke underwater to see what would happen and it went very badly. You see the navy was trying to prove that their ships could survive a nuclear explosion so they lowered the bomb 90 feet in the water and put their ships over it the lsm-60 as seen in the video was right above the bomb and it was completely pulverized. Extreme radiation destroyed remaining ships and they sank right away.

When a nuke is set off on land, the radioactive particles are spread and diluted over great distances in a cloud.

But in this instance, it was contained in the water, which resulted in a radioactive rain fall that got all over the surviving ships. Afterwards, the Navy attempted to scrub these ships clean to prove that their ships could survive the explosion, but the men who worked on them started to get sick from the radiation.

It was determined that they would have needed to grind these ships down to almost nothing before they were at a safe radiation level.

Note : The Navel ships destroyed were retired from the service and 60 Kms of area near nuclear test site was abandoned for public visit during 40s to 90s.
