Time-lapse Of The 2,058 Nuclear Detonations From 1945 To 1998

Popular Mechanics: A Haunting Timelapse of the 2,058 Nuclear Detonations from 1945 to 1998

A beautiful and terrifying timeline.

It's a grim anniversary today. Seventy years ago today, the Enola Gay dropped the uranium atomic bomb "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima, killing at least 90,000 people immediately, poisoning hundreds of thousands more with radiation, and forever altering the essential nature of warfare.

WNU Editor: I posted this video before, but considering that this is the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, it is fitting that it is posted again.
