that's just simple incredulity. You actually have no idea how "huge" the flash should have been, do you?
Not that any of this makes a lick of sense but how does the CT explain all the cases of radiation poisoning and resulting deaths following Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
You seem to conveniently forget something:
The Bikini atoll is a real place. The traces of the blasts are very much visible today. The radioactivity is still, nearly half a century later, too high for prolonged stays.

The atom bombs are supposedly giving of a very bright flash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWz-xpbKcQ0
And from 7:20 in this video an atom bomb is filmed from much farther away than in the atoll bomb clip and the flash is enormously much brighter for this explosion (not underwater but the atoll sea water must have been fairly transparent so the difference should not be this huge): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VsxW1pAFBk
How can there be traces from blasts in water decades later?And 'dirty' conventional explosives could have been used, meaning that radioactive material was added, but they forgot the tons of magnesium to create the right kind of huge flash.

Model boats and "model" explosion (wtf?), all set 10 times closer to the audience than was reported. Also, military personnel have infamously poor depth perception.
Or I could just let Anders come up with some equally nonsensical bullcrap.
Yes, of course. The force of a multimegaton blast will have no effect on the surrounding water. No, siree, it will stay crystal clear. Youp, crystal clear.

But surely the ball of glowing material producing the huge flash would have a radius larger than 27 meters? Meaning that the ball of bright light would actually penetrate above the surface.
The pile of TNT to replace it would have towered 27 meters over the surface.
And yes, TNT makes quite a flash, too.
Anders, you are arguing from ignorance and incredulity.
You have only the foggiest idea of the characteristics of either kind of explosion, and you don't really want to know. You just say you think it is wrong.
Hundreds of people built and detonated those bombs, thousands saw them go off. You need something very substantial to falsify their testimony.

But I claim that the video is a double exposure of two separate films. One film with the ships and the clouds and another film with the model explosion. The shadows on the clouds from the explosion have been airbrushed in.
Watch the house being demolished in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqyBzXYZPoM
And compare with the clouds in this picture: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/562/25673944.jpg
The clouds remain virtually undisturbed, plus the ships look like the aren't affected at all by the blast and are only covered by the double exposure of the model explosion on top of the film with the ships and the clouds.
You can claim anything you want, proving, on the other hand...

But isn't it an obvious fake? The buildings later in the video start to burn by the heat radiation from the atom blast far away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqyBzXYZPoM
Yet, the clouds in this video remain floating peacefully in the air even after the explosion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l6Q8Q1smwg
The heat radiation from the nuclear explosion should have evaporated those clouds. (Plus, of course the buildings in the first video are models too with a very stable camera filming them.)
I guess I could go on and on and present more inconsistencies but I will rest my brief case for now.
