Those interested in The Atlantic's photojournalism piece on nuclear testing should check out Trinity and Beyond on Netflix.

Most of the shots in the Atlantic's piece can be viewed in video. Especially interesting is the video of that first shot where a bomb is launched from a traditional canon.

The Shat provides commentary. The footage is unbelievable. Plus you get to see how thin Americans once were. Finally, in case it wasn't known, we set of an ungodly amount of nuclear bombs in the atmosphere.
