3. A great man once said

"Oooh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?! Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys! Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she's losing. Well I say, hard cheese." -- Mr. Burns

4. That video clip is from the documentary

Atomic Journeys - Welcome to Ground Zero

I highly recommend the Atomic Bomb Collection trilogy, of which this documentary is the second part. Narrated by William Shatner, with a score performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. It's extremely informative, entertaining, and exceedingly well-done.

BTW, the clip shown in that link was of a 5-Mt underground explosion on Amchitka Island, in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, on 6 Nov 1971. It was the largest underground nuclear test ever conducted, creating a seismic shock registering 7.0 on the Richter scale. It killed thousands of animals, both from the direct shock of the blast, and from radiation leaking later. Greenpeace, in fact, was founded by a group of activists who attempted to stop this test, code-named Cannikin, through non-violent direct action.

The link above is excellent reading on the subject.
