July 19, 1957: five USAF volunteers and a civilian cameraman stood on Yucca Flat at the Nevada Proving Ground, directly below the explosion of an AIR-2 Genie air-to-air nuclear rocket (the yield of the W25 warhead was ~1.7 kilotons). Here’s what happened:



The film clip of this nuclear test—with its play-by-play from the ground is also noteworthy because it is one of the few available which accurately renders the sound of the explosion arriving well after the explosion itself is seen.

According to the Department of Energy’s official history of US nuclear tests, the warhead used in Plumbbob John detonated at precisely 7:00am local time, 14,830 feet (nearly 2.81 miles) above the observers on the ground.

This part of the Plumbbob John nuclear test was a publicity stunt arranged by the Continental Air Defense Command to persuade a skeptical public that nuclear-tipped air defense weapons being deployed across the country posed little danger to anyone on the ground in wartime.


In case you’re wondering what happened to the six men on the ground that day in 1957:

Googling through the list, we quickly discovered (as did many of you) that George Yoshitake, the cameraman, was alive, at least as of two years ago. In 2010, he was interviewed in the New York Times and talked about his fellow cameramen who took pictures of atomic bombs. "Quite a few have died from cancer," he told reporter Bill Broad. "No doubt it was related to the testing." Yoshitake's nephew also wrote in and didn't mention his uncle's passing, so I'm guessing that he's now 84 years old and still with us.

    Col. Sidney C. Bruce — died in 2005 (age 86)
    Lt. Col. Frank P. Ball — died in 2003 (age 83)
    Maj. John Hughes — very common name, but I'm guessing he is Maj. John W. Hughes II (born 1919, same as the above) — died in 1990 (age 71)
    Maj. Norman Bodinger — unclear (not listed in the database), he may still be alive?
    Don Lutrel — I think this is a misspelling of "Luttrell." There is a Donald D. Luttrell in the DVA database, US Army CPL, born 1924, died 1987 (age 63). Seems like a possibility.

...

At least the folks in the films volunteered to be there (George excepted) and were given some pre-film training (not terribly useful, but still). That was not the case for a little community downwind from the Nevada Test Site, a place called St. George, Utah.

The folks in St. George were repeatedly hit by uninvited fallout. Alex wrote me that in 1953, one test, codenamed "Harry" actually deposited quite a lot of fallout on St. George, to the point where residents were forced to stay inside for many hours, and prohibited from washing their cars until they became less radioactive.
NPR article

Cameraman and USAF veteran Akira "George" Yoshitake, 84, died suddenly on Oct. 17, 2013, at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, due to complications from a stroke.

About 10 years ago my dad was looking at locations to retire. One on his list was St. George, Utah because of nearby location to Zion NP, Vegas & the city has one of The best healthcare/medical facilities west of the Mississippi. I told him to do a little research on nuclear fallout in St. George. He later crossed that place off his list.

When was the last time the locations of two deployed US Boomers were simultaneously well-known? July 18, 2023: USS Tennessee (SSBN 734) in Scotland and USS Kentucky (SSBN 737) in S. Korea, first SSBN to visit in 40 years...and just last month the USS Michigan (SSGN–727) arrived in S. Korea port.

Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research Published: 12 November 2015

In the article, Mosher describes several lines of reasoning, namely, that the lab is less than 10 miles away from the seafood market where a cluster of COVID-19 cases was first discovered, and that after the 2003 SARS outbreak, the SARS-CoV virus escaped from virology labs multiple times in China. He also describes how Chinese virologist and bioweapons expert Major General Chen Wei went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology with military scientists in January to study the new virus, which Mosher sees as a form of damage control.

...
Dimitrios Paraskevis, an epidemiologist at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece, tells The Scientist that while it’s not possible to rule out the idea of lab escape, he believes that it is unlikely. “Any person who works in a lab must follow very strict safety regulations. It sounds to me very extraordinary that something happened and nobody took care about such an accident,” he says. The World Health Organization updated SARS surveillance guidelines in 2004 after the lab-based outbreaks, urging labs to follow proper biosafety procedures, and China replaced the director of its Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
...
    I’m not saying this has been genetically engineered to be a bioweapon that’s escaped from the lab. . . . I’m just saying that [China is] collecting dangerous pathogens, [and] they have a history of letting them escape from the lab.
