Accidentally Nuking Canada

Daven, just wanted to say you're doing a great job as presenter on these channels. You seem way more confident and comfortable in front of the camera than you used to, and topics have been really interesting.

i like how daven’s beard is slowly becoming similar to simon’s lol

"Nuclear" is pronounced NEW-klee-ur(er) "Nuclear" is not pronounced NEW-kew-lur(er)

New. Clear. Newclear. Nuclear. It's NOT hard to pronounce.

Fascinating and very well done! But remember, in nuclear, the Q is silent.

"Good thing it didn't land near any major population centers!" "What does that actually mean?" "Oh it means its mostly the natives' problem" "Works for me!"

I thought the barely inhabited area was going to be much closer to the most northern tips of Canada (especially with all of the talk of the Arctic), not the northern parts of SK, AB, and southern parts of NWT, and NU as well as major lakes that feed large rivers! There may not be millions of people in these areas, but there are people and events like this complicate evacuation procedures for them (as witnessed by the current wildfire situation). When there are few roads in/out and limited flights, evacuation is difficult. If an area is destroyed or has to be rebuilt, there are few available resources, so everything has to be brought in from away. Also, this was just terrifying to learn on a personal level as I was born in a northern community near this area during this time!

"Accidentally" :(

Wow, so many complaints! I enjoy your narration, keep up the good work.

Love you, Daven!

I'm not even past reading the title and my reaction is "no. Please don't do that?" Yes I am Canadian.

Nu-cle-ar. Nuclear.👍 Nu-cu-lar. Nucular.👎 One of these is correct. The other is worse than fingernails scraping down a blackboard! Other than that, I love your content and your very informative videos. 😎😁

the best youtube video on Kosmos 954 that i've found so far! thanks for putting this together! (also thanks for not being Simon. you're way way way better at this.)

With all due respect, I really don't think 'nuking' is the correct term here. Radioactive debris is radically different from an actual atomic bomb; if anything, it's more like a "dirty" bomb. While I wouldn't call it click-bait, it IS misleading, and I think you could at least have put it in double high quotation marks. Love your channels, cheers!

I always missed Daven's presentation. Bring back brainfood podcast!

Here I am distracted by Ichiro and my wife is asking if he has the Bronte sisters on the bookcase. Educational bonding moment 😅

I lived in the town of Pinawa when this all happened. My father (and most of the other residents) worked for AECL and it was considered quite the Cold War coup to have the resources and opportunity to study the Soviet technology of the era. Interesting side note: the plot line of the 1968 movie Ice Station Zebra (Rock Hudson, Ernest Borgnine) eerily foresaw a very similar set of circumstances with a search of the Canadian Arctic for a Soviet spy capsule.

Nucular????

Oye Vey.....!!! BTW keep up the good work. XD ❤️‍🔥

Wait ... Somebody nuked Canada ?? But those guys were so damn friendly ! Plus, they pronounce "about" as "aboot", and that's just good wholesome fun !! Is Ryan Reynolds okay ? Did they get him out ??
