Description:
Volume 2 of the America's Atomic Bomb Test series covers Operation Hardtack, in which bombs were detonated below ground, underwater, and in the atmosphere to study their effects. Airborne planes were flown near the explosion to gauge how they handled the shock wave, and destroyers and barges were loaded with instruments and used as target ships in the underwater tests. This DVD deals mainly with methodology and scientific results and uses crude animation to illustrate much of the information. Of the three DVDs in the series, Volume 2 is the dullest. Its narration is bone-dry and couched in technical language best appreciated (or even understood) by scientists and engineers. --Jerry Renshaw
