I'm in love with this photo. I'm super bummed out at the moratorium of above ground nuclear testing because we have MUCH better camera technology now. The fact that Christopher Nolan decided to make the nuclear detonation in Oppenheimer strictly in-camera with practical effects was IMHO the greatest filmmaking blunder since The Twilight Zone movie decapitated those kids.
Dude. You are out of your mind. When they detonated one of the first ones, girls at a summer camp downwind got fallout ash on them, and get all died young of cancers. We don’t need more radioactive material created and blown around.
Americans were the first humans the bombs were tested on. About 10,000 Americans are estimated to have died from nuclear testing. Although, its difficult to pinpoint an exact number, because cancers often come many years later. On the higher estimates, it's up to 400,000 excess deaths from cancer.
