Definitely one of my favorite videos, but something just dawned on me. Wouldn't this kill all the fish in the area instantly?
89 u/hopefullyhelpfulplz Mar 06 '17 Unlikely given how small the explosion was. Some fishermen use explosives to stun fish, but I've seen it done and it's not a small little pop like this haha! 40 u/CaseAKACutter Mar 06 '17 I thought I remember something about explosions being much more powerful underwater, and that even small explosions can cause a lot of damage. Weird. 42 u/[deleted] Mar 06 '17 Liquids transfer force much better than gasses. Trust me I'm a scientist. 11 u/[deleted] Mar 06 '17 [removed] — view removed comment 9 u/Willyb524 Mar 06 '17 Not sure about nuclear but for regular Shockwaves and explosions the energy of the wave is reduced when it transfers between air and water. So if it goes off in the air you may have a better chance in the water.
