ATOMIC AMERICA -MUSHROOMS IN THE DESERT 1958

"REACHING OUT INTO THE ABYSS"



HERE IN THIS PICTURE IT LOOKS AS IF THESE SPECTATORS IN LOS ANGELES WERE POSING AND A FLASH BULB WENT OFF, THE DEVICE IS ROUGHLY 250+ MILES EAST OVER THE HORIZON AND IT STILL PACKED A HELL OF YIELD TO BRIGHTEN PRE DAWN LOS ANGELES.(below)


 





THE NATIONS,TESTING IN THE LATE 1950s WAS HEADING FOR A BIG CHANGE AS WEAPON TESTING WENT UNDERGROUND  AND TREATIES WERE SIGNED.
ENDING TESTING  FOR THE MOMENT. BUT THESE PICTURES SHOULD BE A VERY SOBERING  REMINDER OF THE DEVICES  THAT WERE TESTED WERE MADE TO INJURE, VAPORIZE ,AND RENDER THE COUNTRY ON THE RECIEVING END INTO TOTAL RUIN AND SURRENDER 

LOS ANGELES IS BRIEFLY LIT UP BY THE CHAIN REACTION OF A NUCLEAR DEVICE  UNLEASHING THE POWER OF A HUNDRED SUNS CAUSING THE LOS ANGELES HORIZON TO BE LIT UP AS IF IT WAS DAYLIGHT WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS UNAWARE,   A LOW CONCUSSION RUMBLES LIKE THE DOORS OF HELL SLIDING CLOSED  260 MILES WEST  OF WHERE HELL ON EARTH IS UNLEASHED IN THE NEVADA DESERT  , THE FLASH BRIEFLY ILLUMINATES  THE CITY OF "ANGELS" LOS ANGELES  AS PROOF OF THE ATOMIC REACTION REACHING ITS CRITICAL STAGE RELEASING HUNDREDS OF KILOTONS OF ENERGY VAPORIZING THE AREA AROUND IT AS THE FLASH SUBSIDES, LEAVING A DISTANT GLOW AND RETURNING LOS ANGELES BACK INTO PREDAWN DARNESS........
