psocopteraA time-lapse map of nuclear explosions.
This is long (15 minutes) and starts very slowly, but stick with it, oh my god. I couldn't look away. I had no idea. I'm pretty much of a post-Cold-War generation - the first major news event I remember being aware of was the fall of the Berlin Wall - and I didn't grow up worrying about The Bomb. I feel like I maybe have a new insight into that now.

Date: 2012-04-27 01:52 am (UTC)(The most disturbing bomb-related thing I ever had to view was while writing a paper on the US testing in the Pacific and the quote I needed was a voice-over over an explosion montage -- I probably had to watch that thing thirty times through. But I did grow up a Cold War child -- my parents were super-politically-active, and thus I caught the tail end of it. I never expected to survive to adulthood as a kid -- I really didn't think we were going to make it.)
