Thought these photos were pretty good given the time they were taken.

Fantastic.

the narration is done by George Yoshitake who took pics of all the US nuke tests, he lost family in the hiroshima bombing so he must have felt sad every time a tes was carried out.

love the school bus pics and explanation.

very interesting shots, the one of the VIPs watching the blast sat in shorts is surreal.

Was that shot of the vip's used in a music video or film or something like that? Looks familiar.
(Great pics, truly amazing)
