To all you missile “experts” talking about how “this wasn’t a nuke it’s a MOAB” blah blah blah.

From an engineer who works on these things— it may very well be a nuclear incident. 1/

So the first thing I noticed is that the shockwave is followed closely by the clouds. Usually regular missiles don’t cause that sort of pattern— the shockwave will be way ahead the rest of the debris.

Here’s a great example of that—

And another

Here’s a video of a Ukrainian munitions sure exploding. Tons of explosive power. No cloud following the shockwave.

Which brings me to my next point, which is the way the cloud separates. There’s basically two things going on here- the first is the internal plume, and the second is the vapor created by the shockwave. Every single explosion will have the plume. Mushroom clouds are an inherent

part of all high power explosions due to Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities which cause high density/high pressure gas to create vortices as they rise against low ones.

But this— now this is interesting

The cloud separates as it propagates outwards from the blast site.

This is very similar to the footage of the Tsar Bomb. Obviously, it’s not of course an actual nuke. But this behavior reminds me of another incident

The Nenoska nuclear site explosion.

We see the same behavior.

The tsar bomb has two massive plumes because what I’m assuming is a secondary shockwave? I haven’t looked into it but it fits the behavior.

This is also seen in our Lebanon explosion. Slow mo the frames at around 10sto 14, and you see the ground impacted. Then the buildings.

Shockwaves travel with direction. These two shockwaves have different directions. That’s what’s causing the split in our vapor ring.

Now let’s go back to the Russian site explosion for a moment— you can see a ring form as the vapor rises.

Same in Lebanon.

I have never in my life seen this sort of vapor pattern occur in any explosion that isn’t nuclear. That doesn’t mean it’s a bomb. Obviously. But it’s not a MOAB. And it’s definitely not fireworks.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
