I've only just noticed that everything that was getting hit by the wave after the explosion (the school bus and tents and trees) were actually on fire!!

I love the music that went with it, it was so perfectly combined!

I once saw a docu about atomic bomb testing. It had a lot of footage including tests with artillery carried nukes. It had an orchestra score based on Liszts Totentanz.

Everything in a particular radius will evaporate, everything in a wider radius will ignite. Both because of the heat of the air carried by the shock wave.

I thought this footage looked familiar and would you believe it... I was flicking through the channels waiting for the World cup match between Germany and Sweden to start when I came across a documentary on the History channel called "The Atomic Bomb Story". It is a 2 hour (With TV Ads) documentary narrated by William Shatner and they were showing this very clip just as I switched to it.

It's like an Atomic Bomb music video show with a number of clips like this one with William Shatner giving a brief synopsis to each one. It's mostly spectacular archive footage set to good music. Not taxing on the brain at all. I highly recommend it.

Trinity And Beyond, yes that's the docu I was talking about. So it has Lizts Totentanz during the first H-bomb test, I think.


Didn't know it was Shatner narrarating.
