Guess he was high enough to keep from getting any residual radiation. 92. Not even leukemia then.

It was a tiny bomb, by modern standards.

No, today much of our nuclear arsenal is much smaller than the Hiroshima bomb. Think of the tactical nukes that have as little as ten percent of the kilotonage as the Enola Gay’s.

Sure the strategic H-bombs are much larger but in the whole scope of our nuclear arsenal perhaps it was a medium to a medium-small. It was not tiny.
