On July 19, 1957, five men stood at Ground Zero of an atomic test that
was being conducted at the Nevada Test Site. This was the test of a 2KT
(kiloton) MB-1 nuclear air-to-air rocket launched from an F-89 Scorpion
interceptor. The nuclear missile detonated 10,000 ft above their
heads.

Wow.... I bet that was an intense couple of minutes.

I wonder how many of them died of cancer later in life... ??
