Nuclear war films/books

Wow, lots more good stuff.  That Castle Bravo bomb - pretty eye opening info, to think it exceeded their predictions by 2.5x, and showered those that they thought outside the radius for fallout. 

I'm with Arlo, I think every day has been a gift, and as much as we don't think about it so much as a society any more, we could be back to the stone age in the blink of an eye.

My students don't grasp the concept of growing up with nukes literally pointed at your head.

One of the cool things about being a ham operator is the vast variety in the folks you meet on-air.

One guy was a liason between the military and the scientists on the Manhattan Project.

He lived in a protected (by geography) home in Western Colorado (in case of nuclear war) and lived out his life in peace -- yet still protective in case of international insanity.

Good man.  His stories about the Project were compelling and I loved each contact.  It reminded me just how vulnerable we were to hostile forces.
