RU POV: 1466 motor rifle regiment observed FAB-500 strikes at treeline near Hiske, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

After watching the trinity test scene in Oppenheimer , the shockwave and sound of the explosion really shocked me, and I loved it so much. So I went to look for real atomic explosion audio and clips, found this and I wanted to show it to you guys

This is a clip of the Plumbbob Fizeau atomic bomb test in the Nevada Desert in 1957. It is one of the nuclear bomb tests in Operation Plumbbob it's yield was 11 kilotons of tnt

and the audio was edited and take from the low quality footage of different atomic bomb the Upshot-Knothole "ANNIE" test

Repost without the composite audio, since that caused more issues than it was worth.

Context: This is New Glenn, a heavy launch vehicle (competitor to Falcon Heavy for a size reference) built by Blue Origin.

This was a static fire test, meaning they were going to fire the engines for a few seconds to test them before the main launch in a few weeks. This just happened, so there is no info about it from the company yet.

When testing like this happens, it is mandatory for all personal to be evacuated, so it’s unlikely there was anybody hurt.

Just a few months ago, New Glenn’s upper stage failed to put its payload into orbit (an ASTS satellite). Blue Origin has only had a few orbital launches, but two mission failures in a row is not good.

Blue Origin was just announced as a contractor for the Artemis missions to put some payloads onto the moon (no humans, rovers). Unfortunately, this explosion will likely set Blue Origin back months or even years. They will need to rebuild the pad, and complete a major investigation.
