at checkout cured real-life lore we're
big fans of natural disasters we've
talked about volcanoes tornadoes
dropping nukes into hurricanes asteroids
hitting the earth exploding lakes lakes
shrinking ice melting and cities going
underwater nuclear reactor meltdowns
zombie apocalypses blowing up the moon
exploding whales and a bunch already
about tsunamis we've also talked a lot
about nuclear bombs so what if I
combined two of my greatest passions
into one video what would happen if you
detonated a nuclear bomb underwater some
channels have infamously claimed that a
nuclear bomb detonation at the bottom of
the Marianas Trench in the Pacific the
deepest part of the world's oceans would
catastrophic ly destroy the entire
planet and other channels have famously
debunked that because it's nonsense but
that's not to say that a nuclear blast
underwater wouldn't be dangerous at all
nuclear explosions have strange effects
when they're detonated in other
unconventional places for example like
space where nuclear blast can create an
electromagnetic pulse or EMP effect that
can fry or disable electronics and
apparently a nuclear blast underwater
can create something potentially even
worse a tsunami and not just any tsunami
a half kilometre tall radioactive
apocalypse kale tsunami the only country
in the world that's apparently been
crazy enough to develop a weapon like
this so far is unsurprisingly Russia the
weapons official name is status 6
oceanic multi-purpose system and it's
code name is Poseidon the first public
report of the weapons system dates back
to September 2015 and the details are
genuinely insane
it's a weapon so powerful it seems like
it should belong in a bad science
fiction movie and yet it's apparently
quite real Poseidon is an unmanned drone
in the shape of a torpedo that can be
loaded onto and launched by a submarine
a Poseidon drone could also remain
dormant in a box on the ocean floor just
waiting for a signal to come back to
life before carrying out its apocalyptic
attack like a Reaper from massive
either way once a Poseidon is armed and
activated it can have a range of 10,000
kilometers and it slowly travels across
the ocean ominously towards its target
over a period of weeks or even months
the drone travels so slowly in order to
avoid detection but when it's near by an
enemy coastline it rushes a headed over
100 miles per hour to get close enough
to detonate its nuclear bomb before it's
detected the bomb that the poseidon
drone carries is allegedly the most
powerful nuclear device ever created
capable of unleashing a completely
insane 200 megatons of explosive power
and all of it underwater
for reference as to why that's insane
the biggest bomb ever tested by humanity
so far was the tsar bomba by the soviet
union that bomb destroyed every building
in a 55 kilometers caused third-degree
burns 100 kilometers away and shattered
windows there were 900 kilometers away
it was detonated here in Novaya Zemlya
and shattered windows all the way over
here in northern Norway and Finland the
shock wave from the explosion circled
the entire earth three times and despite
all of that awesome power it was only 50
megatons the Poseidon bomb has four
times that amount of power unleashing
that amount of raw power underwater is
allegedly enough to generate a 500 meter
high tsunami wave in the direction of an
enemy's coastline that wave would be so
high that it's almost impossible to
fully appreciate so here is what the
Empire State Building would look like
right next to it the 2004 Indian Ocean
tsunami that devastated Indonesia only
reached a maximum height of only 30
meters and is over 16 times shorter than
the Poseidon tsunami what's even worse
though is the Poseidon nuclear bomb is
apparently a cobalt bomb specifically
designed to unleash more radioactive
fallout than a normal nuclear bomb this
not only makes the wave freakishly huge
but also intensely radioactively
contaminated so now imagine you're just
chillin hanging out on the coast
you notice a 500-meter high radioactive
death tsunami bearing down on you what
would you do in that situation the
weapon is apparently specifically
designed to circumvent the capable US
and European missile defense systems if
nuclear missiles are heading towards
your country you can at least try and
shoot some of them down before they make
an impact and you have a chance but what
chance do you have at stopping a 500
meter high mega tsunami once the bomb
has gone off underwater it's already
pretty much too late the tsunami is
going to happen this is a simulated
flood projection that was developed by
the University of Washington if only a
100 Megaton bomb was detonated
underwater off the coast of Long Island
but even a 100 Megaton bomb would
apparently flood the entirety of Long
Island all of New York City and
significant portions of Connecticut New
Jersey and other areas as mentioned
previously the Poseidon bomb has double
that amount of power a 500 meter high
tsunami would be taller than every
single building in New York except for
the One World Trade Center and it would
still be very close everything in the
city would be destroyed and the highly
radioactive water would mean you're
around and poison the ground and the
drinking supply it would be absolutely
catastrophic and the Russian Navy has
allegedly already ordered thirty four
sided armed drones to enter into service
with half of them going to the northern
fleet in the Arctic Ocean and the other
half going to the Pacific Fleet
based in Vladivostok the Poseidon drones
are a weapon only of last resort with
enough power to give their operators the
equivalent power of an angry god from a
thousand years ago they're to be used
only as a last-ditch effort when all
other hope for Russia during a war
scenes loss they will probably and
hopefully never be used because once
initiated there's never any going back I
challenge anybody watching this video to
come up with a good defense or solution
against a Poseidon drone attack down in
the comments because I genuinely can't
think of a good one every attack is
eventually met with a defense that's
capable of beating it and every defence
is eventually overcome by a new attack
idea it's always a constant arms race
and it's happening right now around
on your computer or phone whether you
realize it or not the best defense that
you can use online to keep your account
secure is using a different password for
every website account but the problem
with that is that you'll probably never
be able to remember all of them unless
you use - lame - lame securely stores
all of your passwords in one place and
autofills than when you go to log in but
