Great work done by this man. This is a must see by anyone. People have been clueless to the fact that nuclear bombs have been going on right in their back yard. Including not too many counties away from me a couple have been tested. Anyways, I wish I did not have to speed the video up 3x but...
Great work done by this man. This is a must see by anyone. People have been clueless to the fact that nuclear bombs have been going on right in their back yard. Including not too many counties away from me a couple have been tested. Anyways, I wish I did not have to speed the video up 3x but people attention spans these days don't seem to be very long and I want as many people to see this as possible. However, I will also have the full 15 min version available. Here's the article it came from: "Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear). Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming." http://www.ctbto.org/specials/1945-1998-by-isao-hashimoto/
