of all the oceans, fall to the bottom.

It will not explode

the bottom of the ocean

and bring down all the water

a hole in

It will not destroy gravity.

I am not an "Atomic Playboy"

as one of my critics called me,

that these bombs would explode

to satisfy my personal whim.

Animals, plants, and similar agents

biological warfare were assembled

to study the effects of heat,

blast and radiation.

The bomb missed its target

of almost 750 meters

The explosion sent five ships,

including two destroyers,

the lake bottom of Bikini.

All vessels within 800m

were severely damaged.

But the damage was

far from those caused

by the underwater explosion

that followed, called Baker.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

fire.

Baker was an underwater explosion

Navy of the same device,

and caused much more damage

the fleet to 70 vessels.

For example, on the USS Saratoga

the shockwave submarine tore

the bottom of the hull of the boat.

Saratoga sank still lies

at the bottom of the sea from Bikini.

I flew several times

the site and on a clear,

if the water is calm,

you can still see the Saratoga.

The area around

the explosion of Baker

had become highly radioactive,

and could not be

approached for some time.

This effect was not expected,

and led to the decision

President Truman

to cancel a third nuclear test

deep called "Charlie."

Here the city of Los Alamos,

to 1500 meters.

The Atomic City .

is a modern city

created by United States

as a research center

and development of nuclear weapons.

We are talking about a region

remote and primitive,

men must leave their homes

laboratories and their States,

for a term which may

reach for months.

Since 1943, when

Los Alamos was founded,

these men left

the continental limits of the United States

to test weapons

they have created.

Two years after

Operation Crossroads,

President Truman authorized

to conduct the operation Sandstone.

While the goal of Crossroads

was to test the effect

nuclear weapons,

Sandstone objective was to test

design new weapons.

Plans for these weapons were

initiated several years earlier

when researchers from Trinity

have developed other models

experimental atomic weapons,

but were not sure of their success.

A joint working group was created

to go back into the peaceful,

and obtain the island of Enewetak,

300 km west of Bikini,

Crossroads which had taken place.

In early November, the first

Construction crews arrived

to remove all the vegetation of the island,

clean the area and dump

tonnes of asphalt for roads.

In six months, the team built

temporary housing

for many scientists and military

necessary for the operation Sandstone.
