The Nevada Test Site is a United States Department of Energy reservation located in Nye County, Nevada, about 65 miles (105 km) northwest of the City of Las Vegas, near 37°07′N 116°03′W / 37.117, -116.05.
During the 1950s, the mushroom clouds from these tests could be seen for almost 100 miles in either direction, including the city of Las Vegas, where the tests became tourist attractions. Americans headed for Las Vegas to witness the distant mushroom clouds that could be seen from the downtown hotels.
Another myth is that our cities would be uninhabitable for hundreds of years. I disagree.
Hiroshima, Japan today.
Nearly 3 million people live in Hiroshima Prefecture, and over 1 million in the city itself.
Hiroshima took a direct hit not long ago.
The US government denied that their Las Vegas bomb testing was harmful until most “downwinders” died (young) and THEN they quietly arranged for financial settlements for the few who remained. There’s a freeper around here who said his wife was a downwinder and in her early 60’s - all of her highschool classmates had already died.
#12 some 1021 nukes were set off just outside of Las Vegas
This would explain the increase in earthquakes... Oh wait that be a thin metal tube used for drilling oil that causes this and not a big gigantic explosion!
