Just a bit too close for comfort...

Not 'shopped either...

And a meteor over Russia, somewhere... Australia's got killer spiders. Russia got killer meteors. China got killer influenza's.... Seems like fair distribution...

It helped make Vegas a tourist destination! Come see an atomic blast!

Early '80s, I was a shift Supt. in an underground mine in the vicinity of the test site. By that time all testing had moved underground and the shots restricted to less than 200KT. We would get a notice of a scheduled test, then just prior to shot time receive a phone call to verify to the voice on the other end that all of our underground personnel were in what we, as the mine operator, considered a safe location. Once I had a hard time contacting one of my crews and held up the shot for about 5 minutes. Felt bad and always wondered what that cost.

I would steady a plumb bob from the back, about a 12' string, and then see around 4" of swing . An all clear call would come through and we went back to putting rock in the box.

Thank you,

I just kept watching it over and over, picking a new person to watch throughout the event. The various reactions are surprising...

Also, the guy who busts his ass on the tray at the end is comical.
All the guys in blue shirts, they looked like Mexican navy guys. From what I remember, that color blue is what the navy uses.
 
Had a 1stSgt like that. Awesome leader and hell of a guy in general. Told us after field day inspection he was taking leave and wasn't going to be there for Friday morning PT......

Then he shows up....

10 rep cycles of 8 count bodybuilders, leg lifts, push ups, hello dolly's, and flutter kicks until only about 30% of us were still able to move.
He likes them saute'd?

And this, children, is how we have tritium night sights. Great Americans who mined areas of fallout for salvageable material.....
 
I don't know...maybe is was the element of surprise or shock. But I pray to God I never get so old, weak or stupid I would stand there with my hands by my sides like a fucking idiot watching while my wife protects me. This image alone should be "game over".
