I love the smell of strontium-90 in the morning. Smells like...*brief lifespan.

Upvote for that Google maps link alone. That is cool!

Wow, that wall of dust that rumbled out of the falling debris at 0:41 was amazing.

Is that the official Pentagon soundtrack for nuclear tests? I like to imagine they had an on-site symphony orchestra, to provide gravitas.

Yeah, seriously. Time to enter some coords in Google Earth!

This was in that Ploughshare video sifted earlier this month or last. Totally awesome! Except the nuclear scientists, which I love and want to name my children after, miscalculated a lot of these tests and ended up dousing the neighboring states in radioactive nasty. Oopsala.

I think the video actually cuts to a different angle at 0:41, but it's still impressive.

Reminds me of being 14. It's like a big earth zit.

Boom, baby.

Mole problem? Solved!

That's gonna leave a mark!

I bet you $10 they sent some intern in there last minute to check the wiring.

Video title needs to be changed to "North Korea, yesterday".
