Trinity Test HD Colourization The First Atomic Explosion, 1945

Incredible colourized footage of the very first atomic bomb detonation on July 16, 1945. The test was part of the Manhattan Project, a top-secret U.S. research project during World War II aimed at creating an atomic bomb. At 5:29 a.m. local time, the plutonium-based implosion device, named “The Gadget,“ was detonated. The explosion released an enormous amount of energy, equivalent to approximately 25 kilotons of TNT. The heat fused the sand below into a green glass, as the mushroom cloud from the blast rose to a height of over 7.5 miles (12.1 kilometers). The Trinity test confirmed the viability of the implosion design and the successful use of plutonium as a fissile material. The success of the test paved the way for the subsequent bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan a few weeks later, which had a profound impact on the outcome of World War II and ushered in the nuclear age.
