Apparently it was only supposed to be 5kt but the scientists forgot to carry the 1 and the yield trippled.
Radioactive fallout from this test was especially bad.

Mushroom cloud was 130,000 feet tall and 62 miles wide just just a few minutes after the detonation.

the fact that we were just casually testing bombs 1000x stronger than hiroshima is actually terrifying.. like how did anyone think this was a good idea.

Redacted Files by Luke Lamana had a fantastic podcast by it. Nearly all of the folks who stayed back at the island (about 20 nautical miles away) were afflicted with cancer or radiation sickness

I thought this post was about the hardest Cro Mags recordÂ
What a fucking horrible thing to do. Forcibly remove people from their homes so you can test an insanely destructive device, doing so far away from your own home because you know how destructive it is.
Just horrible abuse of other people, other living things, and the planet overall.
