This powerful video uses only flashes and pings but in less than fifteen minutes it captures the global impact of nuclear weapons testing since the first test at Los Alamos.
Wow. Must watch. Starts slow, but keep watching. I actually upped the playback speed to 1.5. The number of nuclear detonations is disheartening, but what really struck me was the utter contamination we have inflicted upon the Desert Southwest of North America...our own backyard.
I agree - the contamination we inflicted on the desert and on the PEOPLE who lived there.... who still live there... boggles the mind, especially when the effects of radiation exposure were clear soon after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
