Yea it's a unique sound. Wonder how many of them burned their undies after that.

More than would admit it, that's for sure

Speaking of reality in film, I came across this little one the other day:

What gets me is the soldiers advancing after the blast...I wonder how many of them made it into old age?

How frighteningly stupid is that?

The Army conducted several of those tests. There have been some reports in the (recent) past of the lasting effects on the guys that were there, but I don't recall offhand where to find the information. Nuclear Archives website might have some further reading on it or at least links. All those bookmarks I had were on the old drive.

Some grim reading...and that's just the US...the Soviet Union did far worse (although naturally the records are very well hidden) and even the UK was not exempt.

The mushroom cloud has a very dark shadow
