Mike::

Interesting web site and pics, haven't seen many of them before.

Knew several folks who were in the atmospheric test program and witnessed tests such as Crossroads, the Mike shot, and Castle Bravo.

Thousands of stories there http://www.aracnet.com/~pdxavets/ some scary, some funny. One Army guy, sargeant I think, modded a little trick he taught to one of the site's story tellers: Sneak a look early to see the fireball and special effects nobody else would see as they were supposed to follow safety instructions. He did this everytime he got a chance, and he volunteered for as many nuc tests as possible.
