You all are right to call BS on this video. Its trash.

The earthquake that caused the 2004 tsunami in Sumatra released a total of 9 600 000 megatons of energy....that's a bit more than 50 megatons. I don't know though, I'm not a math major.

This earthquake didn't make new continents, nor did it cause an ice age by pushing earth a significant distance away from the sun. So I'm going to guess that neither would this bomb.

The portion of the 2004 earthquake's total energy that was released on the surface of the sea floor was only 26 megatons and it was released a lot less quickly than the detonation of the Tsar bomba, I'll give ya that.

Probably generate a Tsunami, but not a large one. Large natural tsunamis, like those in 2004 and 2011, are generated by very sudden movement of the ocean floor over a large area; the 2004 Sumatra quake lifted the sea floor several meters, very rapidly, along a 1600 km long section of fault, displacing a total of 30 cubic kilometers of water. Google "what does a cubic kilometer look like". Its a lot of water.

Not sure if the bomb can move that much water at a single site; I don't think it replicates the right "mechanics" of large scale tsunami generation....

Your video, If You Detonated a Nuclear Bomb In The Marianas Trench, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Much better viewed in slow mo(1/4 speed yt settings). Amazing those rockets could detonate so close to the guy in frame and he just walks away. That seems like pretty precision damage munitions.

(edit)
This video better shows the surroundings and the aftermath. https://youtu.be/w3TbqWWg26g

I enjoyed the strategy employed at 4:06 myself. If only it had detonated at the right moment...

Looks like a sun crashing to earth.

This one: 43 KT
Tsar Bomba (largest ever detonated): 57,000 KT

I call bullshit. There have already been over 2000 bombs detonated for testing. Though most countries stopped doing surface, ground, underwater and atmospheric tests after the NTB, that still leave a lot of bombs detonated on the surface. I had a quick look at just US tests, and in the late 50s through early 60's, we were setting them off like fireworks on the 4th of July, with almost 100 detonations at the Nevada Test Site alone between 1962-1963.

Oh certainly, there are definitely glaring flaws with Rogue One.

The biggest problem for me was how every character conveniently dies IMMEDIATELY as soon as their narrative purpose is done with. And strangely, every character seems completely ready to die in a way that makes the deaths fairly laughable.

Saw: "I'm gonna stare out this window and not even try to escape."

Bodhi: "I'm gonna close my eyes and not even try to toss that thermal detonator back out of the shuttle."

Baze: "Welp, my best friend is dead so I'm just going to Leroy Jenkins those Deathtroopers."

They missed major dramatic opportunities for each character death. Think "Saving Private Ryan" where each character death is meaningful. Caparzo disobeys a command to do something decent and gets himself killed. Wade dies because Tom Hanks wanted to do the right thing and clear the machine gun nest. Fish dies because Upham is too cowardly to climb the steps and fight. And none of those guys resigned themselves to death--they all wanted desperately to live.

A couple of other things that bothered me about Rogue One:

Why did Admiral Raddus take Princess Leia--a Galactic Senators daughter--into a major battle with the Empire, one which most Rebels were convinced was a trap designed to draw out the fleet?

Why didn't Vader just Force pull the Death Star plans out of the escaping rebels before massacring them all?

Why did the Death Star "miss" Scarif base and hit the ocean instead despite them showing it had pinpoint accuracy when blowing up Jedha?

All that being said, TFA disappointed me big time. It was just trying waaaaaaaay too hard to evoke the original trilogy. If I wanted to watch the original trilogy again I'd, you know, watch the original trilogy. And don't even get me started on Kylo Ren. I haven't wanted to punch a character in the face so hard since whiny Anakin from Attack of the Clones.

EDIT: To keep this on topic, I'm annoyed that Plinket didn't point out the actual flaws in the movie and instead focused on the "they didn't explain the Force" bullshit.

I'm sure none of those bomblets will fail to detonate properly and cover the battlefield with unexploded munitions.

Diver may have found 'lost nuke' missing since cold war off Canada coast

What?!

"The US military said the lost bomb was a dummy capsule – packed with lead rather than the plutonium core needed for an atomic explosion."

Ah, ok then.

"Government records indicate that the lost bomb was a dummy and poses little risk of nuclear detonation, said a spokesperson."

Wait. "Little risk"?! What do you mean, little risk? I thought it's a dummy. Shouldn't it be no risk?

huh; I was thinking more: other bad guy watching with the cell phone to call the cell phone detonator in his hand.

Guys, it's not a movie. Regular terrorists are lucky if they can rig a detonator to explode when they want it to. Mercury switches and all that crap are purely for spy thrillers.

Not much danger in moving the car, or at least not because you were moving the car.

How the hell could the Speaker not be an elected member of Congress? I'd guess the Founding Fathers never imagined a situation where that would have to come up. The fact that there are 40 idiots who think compromise is a sign of weakness, and don't want to govern, they want to be cry babies and throw a tantrum until they get what they want, would make me not want the job either. Bridge building between both sides of the isle used to be a good thing. Shutting down the government for said tantrum should be against the Constitution.

Meanwhile side note. From what I understand, Heath's improved the button malfunction as there was an actual malfunction in the real detonation device causing a delay. It likely saved the scene, otherwise we'd have seen him walk out and cut right to the bus driving away, or explosions from other angles until that point anyhow.

That seems ... odd.

It sounds like they caught the guy before he made it to wherever he was going, but it seems like you'd have to get really lucky to lure him to drive his vehicle onto a bomb powerful enough to launch it that high into the air. Not to mention that I'd wager that a few hundred (or thousand) bullets would probably be a much more surefire AND cheaper way to keep him from reaching that destination.

Maybe that actually happened; they had already made swiss cheese out of the dude and vehicle before this video was taken, but to dispose of his suicide explosives which hadn't yet detonated they piled enough of their own explosives under the car to launch it sky high and trigger the guy's bomb(s)?


Anyway, I think that we're missing some of the story here.

"Visibly unarmed, he could have had any weapon you choose in his pockets."
Yes. He could also have planted a nuclear bomb under the cops feet in advance. or be carrying reactive explosives that detonate when shot at. Anything is POSSIBLE. The thing is: Most people, even the ones who are visibly worked up and out of control, are most likely NOT going to try and kill you. Even people who have just murdered two people.

My question is this: Suppose you had 2 cops, cop 1 draws a weapon on every arrest or any situation he/she deems to be potentially dangerous. Cop 2 never draws a weapon, unless the situation is totally out of control. Which cop is most likely to end up in a situation where someone dies or get shot?
