A (presumably) abandoned ship near a US nuclear test is swamped by the resulting massive wave. The video is courtesy of Atom Central, a site filled with pictures, videos, and information about nuclear weapons.

Why did they dub the sound? It seems really fake when you hear the explosion instantaneously. Speed of sound, dude.

Whoops! Fixed now.
@seekshelter — some probably survived and got superpowers.

I don’t think the sound is fake. As I recall sound travels faster through water and the nuke was probably detonated several meters below the water.

As for the sound, the microphone would have been above water…. i think this is fake

How did the movie camera that supposedly recorded this survive the impact/wave ? Hmmm…

Jesus, people.
1958. Near Enewetak Atoll. Operation Hardtack. Nuclear test “Umbrella.”
Took me 4 minutes.

It’s no big deal I’d say. The ship doesn’t move a bit, as can be seen around 0:30. So it’s not a wave, it’s just spray
