Another Opps:
US one taken very deep sea and was found to have higher radiation dosage per given area and again they didn't do another one.

Or the best was the French one that was under a mountain in Northern Africe (Algeria I think :hmm: ) and found a fault in the mountain and cracked open with the gasses rolling down the mountain near where all the army etc was, they all ran like headless chickens) I remember one fench soldier saying the french atomic minister was there and took off in his car leaving everyone to fend for themselves

I work in the IT dept. here at work... I downloaded the "Damage and Destruction" vid and renamed it "Dell Laptop" and emailed it to my boss....

I swear I cant help myself sometimes....

The "oops" shot was Castle Bravo- it was supposed to yield 6 megatons but due to miscalculation (read about it on the nuclearweaponarchive) it resulted in an 18 megaton shot. One of my high school shop teachers was in the atmospheric test program and was present. Also met two other weapons engineers when I was in the service (working on nukes) who were present at the same event.
