They knew the effects of radiation then. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6078118 The idea of the test was to calm peoples nerves about nuclear explosions, sadly it didnt work as people still think a single nuclear bomb could destroy New York or London. |

Test basically of an Atomic Air to Air anti-aircraft shot. This one was a small one... and they fired others even smaller in yield. |

Bookmarked and sharing! The cadence of the American accent has shifted in the past 50 years quite noticeably. Calling an atomic explosion over their heads beautiful, while patting each other on the backs and managing not to lose control over their bodily functions? That takes some spine. |
