Silent footage of an A-bomb test with the added bonus of troops nearby. So unlike most a-bomb films, here you get figures in the frame that help to humanize just what’s going on. The end result is about a minute and a half of pure amazement, from about the 3:00 to about the 4:40 marks as soldiers in trenches watch the mushroom cloud grow… and then walk *towards* it.
