Hardtack Poplar nuclear test

This clip is of the Hardtack Poplar test in 1958 which took place at Bikini Atoll on July 12, 1958. Poplar was detonated on a barge. The reported yield is 9.3 Megatons (MT). Disclosure: I must disclose that this was a black and white shot which has been colorized by AI. Although the amount of work I had to put into it doesn’t make it completely automatic. I tend to stay away from this type of colorization but its really good and I had to try it out.
