And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A picture of a nuclear explosion 1 millisecond after detonation. Approx. 20m in diameter.
Fireball is 20meters in diameter not 20 miles according to other sources that can easily be Googled. Wikipedia seems to have an error. The 20 mile number didn't smell right because the devise is detonated on a tower...that would be some tower. But impressive none the less.
WOW
ReplyDeleteI've read that the large 'spikes' at the bottom were following along the guy wires that stabilized the tower.

DeleteWhen I first saw that photo back in 1977, it permantly creeped me out. Still does...
