  I'm drinking through a paper straw while watching this because apparently its my fault that the oceans are fucked.

  I'm not a peace soldier by any means, but I can't help but imagine where we'd be as a species if we dedicated this much time and effort into things that would benefit the world instead of destroying it...

  I once saw a comment on a video and it stuck with me forever. <br>&quot;A mouse would never invent a mouse trap&quot;

  The mere testing of these bombs constitutes a crime against humanity.

  I love the phrasing &quot;caught on camera&quot;, like nuclear explosions just happen randomly and someone was lucky enough to film one 😄

  When you realize that prior to testing the first bomb, Oppenheimer and the other scientists did not know if the explosion would be contained or if it would ignite Earths atmosphere and destroy the entire planet...<br><br><br>yet still decided to test it anyway.<br><br>Some forces were not meant for human hands.

  The fact that we only stopped making bigger bombs because the planes dropping them wouldn’t be able to escape is terrifying

  My father saw the first two tests at Bikini Atoll called Operations Crossroads in July 1946. We had photos my father personally took, but my elementary school borrowed them for a display and never returned them. My father was a a radar tech, but called a radioman. He told me of walking on the atoll with Geiger counters after the tests, and the counters were going crazy. Fortunately, he never suffered any disease from being exposed to high degree of radiation. He passed in 2009.

  A little fact: The castle bravo incident that affect a Japanese fishing boat, lead to antinuclear protest in Japan, which lead to the movie, Godzilla.
