I've only just noticed that everything that was getting hit by the wave after the explosion (the school bus and tents and trees) were actually on fire!!

I love the music that went with it, it was so perfectly combined!

I once saw a docu about atomic bomb testing. It had a lot of footage including tests with artillery carried nukes. It had an orchestra score based on Liszts Totentanz.

Everything in a particular radius will evaporate, everything in a wider radius will ignite. Both because of the heat of the air carried by the shock wave.

It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

I thought this footage looked familiar and would you believe it... I was flicking through the channels waiting for the World cup match between Germany and Sweden to start when I came across a documentary on the History channel called "The Atomic Bomb Story". It is a 2 hour (With TV Ads) documentary narrated by William Shatner and they were showing this very clip just as I switched to it.

https://www.thehistorychannel.co.uk/text_only/tv_listings/full_details/Conflict/programme_1236.php

It's like an Atomic Bomb music video show with a number of clips like this one with William Shatner giving a brief synopsis to each one. It's mostly spectacular archive footage set to good music. Not taxing on the brain at all. I highly recommend it.

Trinity And Beyond, yes that's the docu I was talking about. So it has Lizts Totentanz during the first H-bomb test, I think.


Didn't know it was Shatner narrarating.
