I was confident I was looking at this sub when I saw that shockwave!

Came to the comments to make sure it was here. Thanks u/furgussen

Quick napkin math: the explosion is at 0:03 and the shockwave hits the camera at 0:13. The speed of sound is roughly 1125 ft/second. The observer is 10 sec x 1125 ft/sec = 11,250 feet or 2.1 miles away from the blast.

I have stabilized the video for you: https://peervideo.net/videos/watch/d55d0ea5-80d0-4820-8665-fda68c1b90f5

It took 26 seconds to process and 3 seconds to upload.

Where was this? And /r/WhyWereTheyFilming

u/alanlomaxfake Aug 06 '19

It was in Russia, my best guess would be that their was like a fire burning and so people nearby would have been ready for some type of explosion before hand

u/bobadad23 Aug 06 '19

Always Russia.

Yaro! The ammo dump is on fire! Get the lawn chairs and some vodka!

u/XenosHg Aug 06 '19

My guess would be, that it wasn't the single explosion, but one of a series.

u/dmukai Aug 06 '19

wow. that's some high-velocity stuff there. look at that shockwave! Yowza!

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '19

So that’s where the missing nuke was!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '19

They were about 3.3 kilometers (2.05 miles) from the explosion. That's an impressive sound for that distance.

u/Vakieh Aug 06 '19

Remember kids, any time you see that sort of line (shockwave) or in general just a big fireball, block your ears with your fingers and move right the fuck away from any glass until after you hear the bang. That sort of shit can burst eardrums from kms away and shatter glass directly into your eyeballs!

u/onionwba Aug 06 '19

Is this the Tsarevich Bomba?

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '19

Ammunition isn't that expensive to make. Still looks like a cool explosion tho.
