What REALLY Happens if You Nuke the Mariana Trench? - Nuclear Engineer Reacts to AngeloMotion
Credibility score: 88/100 — Highly Credible. This video is highly credible with well-supported claims.
Claims analyzed
Tsar Bomba is 50-megaton airburst nuke, not for underwater use — Verified (100/100)
Spot on — Tsar Bomba was 50 MT airburst only, tested in 1961 over Novaya Zemlya.
Nukes in trench won't cause massive tsunamis/earthquakes; insignificant geologically — Solid (85/100)
He's right — nukes are geological specks. Tsar Bomba energy = 0.0002% of year's tectonic power.
Deep nuke forms plasma fireball bubble crushed by pressure — Solid (80/100)
Pressure crushes/limits bubble size correctly — original AngeloMotion's '10 soccer fields' is massive overestimate.
Bubble size 10-100m, oscillates seconds not crushed instantly — Verified (92/100)
Nailed it — classic bubble pulse from underwater tests lasts 2-10s depending on depth/yield.
Cold War tests showed bubble oscillations; fallout becomes dissolved debris — Solid (85/100)
Tests confirm oscillations and shock waves — fallout does mix as particulates/solubles, not 'pockets'.
