Exploding a Whitehead Torpedo Trailer

Exploding a Whitehead Torpedo Trailer (1900)

21 May 1900 Factual 1 mins

The title pretty much tells you all there is to know about this Edison film. It runs a very brief 27-seconds and shows a torpedo hitting its target and going off. I think the most fascinating thing about this is that we get a pretty close shot of the explosion and its aftermath. It was rather funny seeing this large explosion and especially seeing how long it took for everything that flew up in the air to land back down.
