Being at Ground zero during an Atomic Test

I just came across this article from Mashable:

 

http://mashable.com/2012/07/19/july-1957-nuclear-bomb-test/

 

which shows a clip of 5 US Airforce Officers who stood under an airburst atomic test and survived. It's was done out in the Mojave so it's even more relevant for this forum.

Not really interesting, it was a 2 kiloton nuke detonated on the height of 3000 meters. It can't kill them since it's too weak and too high, it's just a big boom and they can say they survived a nuclear explosion.

Not really interesting...

 

Hmm... interesting enough for you to comment on it eh? :biggrin:

 

Still, who else can say they were 3000 meters away from a 2 kiloton blast and survived? I think that's interesting enough.
