Orchestral string music and early nuke tests -- haunting

Perhaps the Sift is already full enough when it comes to old footage of those disturbing mushroom clouds, but the bittersweet orchestral strings and martial drums in this video go perfectly with the awful beauty of the silent, slow-motion nuclear blooms.

Flagged NSFW due to a couple of editorializing frames at the very end which say "f___ Iran and North Korea".

Well I'm glad SOMEBODY doesn't have the downvote yet

But seriously. Hoju, I agree with you when it comes to the editorializing at the end; I don't think it belongs there (although I believe it was intended as an indictment of those two countries' policies and not hatred of their people -- the same sentiment as "fvck Bush" which we've all seen before). As for your other criticisms, yes, the nukes 'n music concept has been done before, but the Sifters who are upvoting this don't seem to mind. And I like the music.

Anyway, maybe this one still won't make it out of the queue, cross your fingers!
