You wouldn’t be seeing this video if it was a nuke. The phone would have fried the moment it saw the initial light and the holder would have been simultaneously blinded, so even if he had tried to press “upload” in the seconds before the blast wave liquified his organs, it wouldn’t have uploaded.

Those were shot on film cameras, not digital ones, hundreds of yards away. That is how big a nuclear explosion is. Few if any personnel were around if I remember. The reason that if this video featured a nuke it would've killed the uploader is that it would've been too close to the source and also simultaneously fried from the radiation and whatever freaky waves a nuke makes.

They were recorded by humans when they were still "small", and recorded by unmanned devices when they grew larger. Distance is also relevant - if you stand at the right distance, a star with a radius of 2Gm will look the same as a star with a radius of 100Gm. There was also a word to describe it... it was something about the size based on view angle.
Doesn't look like other nuclear explosions I've seen. It's mushroom shaped, yes, but not in the same way a nuke is. It's a bomb, a cruel, senseless bomb. But not a nuke.
That's just a lot of US dollars going up in smoke.
