A cool dude named Kjetil from Twitter (@kjeik) sent me this pretty awesome and scary video from NPR – back in 1962 the United States did some atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. It was broadcast in the news that it was going to be a neat display of color and light, so people in Hawaii sat out on their patios and watched it happen.
Crazy.
