I've been a shark fan since I was a kid, and this is the coolest goddamn shark picture I've ever seen. Jesus christ that thing has been through some serious poo poo. JoelJoel posted:Interesting. What am I seeing? If someone knows better, feel free to correct me.

Nordick posted:. You're exactly right. Fires are one of the many things that make me want to stay way the hell away from coal mines. The ribs and back (walls) can breathe toxic poo poo on you, the drifts (roadways) can move, I've heard of freaking portals (the opening to the mine)spontaneously closing. Even better is if you're core drilling and hit a void filled methane and it blows sending a huge spear of metal back at you. I'll work hard rock thank you. At least in hard rock if the earth decides to eat me it'll be a quick slabbing. gently caress coal mining.

Did they know there was an eruption due at that moment, or was their perfect framing and timing simply good luck?

tentative8e8op posted:Simply spectacular. "It was a spur of the moment thing to head out and film the volcano. ... We saw it erupting and the ladies from Kokopo Beach Bungalows where we were staying said they could take us out on the boat to get a closer look. I thought I might as well try and capture something you rarely get to see." From his interview in the Brisbane Times. So they knew there was a volcano being sort of active out there, but obviously they couldn't have predicted that.

There's tons of footage - literal tons of celluloid, I mean that sincerely - of clouds being displaced by massive explosions. The US Nuclear Test Program that started in 1945 was one of the best documented military endeavors in the history of ever. This is an example of one of the well filmed shots, Operation HARDTACK Shot Poplar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6PGZ4yiJqY

The craziest/saddest videos linked to those nuclear bomb videos are the ones that show, in the immediate aftermath of the nuclear tests, soldiers and workers inspecting things wearing only shorts and boots. I'm guessing no one knew exactly how dangerous it was to be doing that without protective gear, but still.

Those people just happened to be 12 or so ranks higher than anyone that would ever use a shovel.

Wasn't a common belief back then that covering you mouth and eyes and not exposing skin was enough to stop radiation? Not by scientists obviously, but by regular people?

Solice Kirsk posted:Wasn't a common belief back then that covering you mouth and eyes and not exposing skin was enough to stop radiation? Not by scientists obviously, but by regular people? Boring personal anecdote to give a picture of what Joe Average's knowledge on the subject was like. My grandfather was the tailgunner in a dive bomber for most of WW2. He says basically gently caress-all about his service, but on the phone a while back he told me this story: In '45 when the news about the atom bombs being dropped came down he was on a ship headed back to the US to train as a landing boat turret gunner for the planned invasion of Japan. He just casually mentioned this like it was no biggie.  Anyway, the news was announced via loudspeaker, at which point "everyone turned to the one guy in our group who'd been to college and asked what the hell that nonsense meant. We all said "so it's a bomb without explosives, yet it can level a city??"" I imagine people got a bit more knowledge as the cold war geared up, but a lot of folks were starting basically from zero.

Wearing a dust mask and taping your clothes shut would do about as good against straight fallout, at least short short-term, as a modern gas mask/NBC suit. One way or another you'll probably end up either with cancer or looking like this:

It killed you slowly rather than quickly so there was a time where people basically didn't understand all the specifics of radiation poisoning. Marie Curie, for example, kept samples of glowing material on her desk because she thought they looked cool. She died of radiation-related illness long, long after. There are still people today dying of stuff related to long-term exposure to radiation or materials that turned out to be carcinogenic because, 60 years ago, people just flat out didn't know better.

On a related note (and because it really is a bad-rear end picture), this woman was a victim of Hiroshima:  The marks are the pattern from her clothing, burned into her skin.

RabbitWizard posted:I saw a documentation once about how old films taught how to react to a nuclear bomb. The slogan was "If you see the flash: duck and cover!". Under your table at school or next to a curbstone. So yeah, there sure was a time when no one knew how to react (not that you could in a useful way). If you survive the initial blast you can trudge around for a day or two and properly dispose of your less fortunate civilians.
