I didn't realize there were approx. 2,053 nuclear explosions throughout the world from 1945-1998. I found this video and just sat there in awe while watching the flashes that represent each detonation.

Yeah, they even denied us the jobs & money that would have come with Yucca mountain.

I called battleship a few times but nothing happened.

If that video was sped up to 4min, it would be interesting, but listening to pac man sound effects for almost 15 min just doesnt do it for me.

Could have something to do with the Area 51 conspiracy. Aliens left a cloaking device to ........ah Hell, maybe Printerman could explain it better. LOL

It's a crying shame Curtis Lemay didn't get his way. Imagine all the money we would have saved on the cold war, and the problems in the 20th century that would've been alleviated.

I'd could almost evision a "Kraftwerk" (80's punk/new wave band) video to that metronome beat!

Too bad all those little blue flashes of light weren't targeted in the middle east! Lets see what that video looks like again over the next 20 years!

Are you kidding? LeMay was a loose cannon... he would have thrust the world into WW-III.

What would you have liked to see? Russia nuked into submission then invaded by America?

We would have been no better than the Nazis if we did that.
