praying that history won't repeat itself . . .

wow, in them days there believed it was safe just because the government said so, but sadly people still think the government are there for the people - there are not

Ah, the good ole days 😑

But yeah, let's grow beyond this. Powerful photo

They sure did some dumb ass test back then. lots of people were exposed to radiation. Seen one film where they had soldiers lined up in a trench with their heads above the ground to see how the blast would effect them.

God can u imagine the fear of watching something like this. That little boy must have been terrified x

Not necessarily. The kid would probably know something big occurred because of how everyone else is acting but that doesn't mean he'd understand why.
