| The film “1945-1998” was very eye-opening for the number of nuclear explosions that happened within a 53-year time period and the surprises that occurred with it really did bring new life to the topic itself for me. The fact that the United States seemed to always be ahead by nearly 300 nuclear explosions to the Soviet Union was also a “surprise” to me as well but considering the other countries that joined the mix as well did not even come close to what the United States and the Soviet Union were doing did not surprise me. The fact that the U.S. had over 1,000 nuclear explosions by 1988-1989 was also a big surprise for me as well because I felt like it was going to be much lower but it wasn’t. This short film, like I said, has really opened up my eyes to just how far it got and the number of explosions that actually happened really is astonishing considering that the number ends with 2,053 nuclear explosions that occurred. – Hunter Dykhuis | The film “1945-1998” was very eye-opening for the number of nuclear explosions that happened within a 53-year time period and the surprises that occurred with it really did bring new life to the topic itself for me.

| + | This video “silently” (you hear the beeps representing the bombs, but there’s not any commentary) highlighted the detonation of nuclear bombs. It was pretty remarkable to see how many bombs went off in the span of 53 years, and while many of them went off in the ocean, I can’t help but wonder what the long term implications of their dentonations are. Towards the end of the video there’s a rapid fire of all of the bombs per country, and it resembles almost an artistic firework compilation. - Elizabeth Davis | ||
