Everyone's life would be so much easier if they realized the potential Google.com has. Video links are at the bottom of that website.

LINK -----> Trinity

The heat of the Trinity explosion melted the sandy soil around the tower to form a glassy crust known as "trinitite". Years later, with a view towards making the Trinity site a tourist-accessible national historic site (a plan that has never been carried out), the mildly radioactive crust was bulldozed into heaps and covered with soil.

Last March I got to spend a week at the Nevada Test Site and stand at ground zero for the Apple II atomic test. If I remember right it is the same test as the video I just posted.

I also got to go to the crater that was left after this:

The crater is about 300ft deep and 1200ft across. It's at the far north end of the Nevada Test Site and can bee seen on Google Earth.

It's been a long time since I looked into this, but a number of years ago you used to be able to order full videos from the Nevada Dept. of Energy.

Trinity and Beyond - The Atomic Bomb Movie has most all of the tests.
