One Millisecond after an Atomic Explosion

Roughly 1 ms after detonation. Visible along the bottom of the fireball's surface are what have been referred to as 'rope tricks'. Absorption of thermal energy by the tower's guy wires result in such spike-like extensions. Further discussion of this phenomenon is available here.



This picture and more like it are available HERE I think that the beauty of these photos hide the terrifying nature of them as well as the ingenuity behind their very existence.
