Aerial footage from the recycling plant in Oxford which was struck by lightning last night (2 October), shows the damage sustained following the incident. The explosion could be heard up to 20 ...
The mushroom cloud was about 67 km (42 mi) high [47] (nearly eight times the height of Mount Everest), which meant that the cloud was above the stratosphere and well inside the mesosphere when it peaked. The cap of the mushroom cloud had a peak width of 95 km (59 mi) and its base was 40 km (25 mi) wide. [48] A Soviet cameraman said:
Mike mushroom cloud. An hour after the bomb was detonated, U.S. Air Force pilots took off from Enewetak Island to fly into the atomic cloud and take samples. Pilots had to monitor extra readouts and displays while "piloting under unusual, dangerous, and difficult conditions” including heat, radiation, unpredictable winds and flying debris.
Nancy Baker Cahill's augmented reality public art work, which launches on Monday of Frieze Week, depicts a mushroom cloud — 'the ultimate symbol of human-caused cataclysm.'
The bombs struck two minutes later, blowing up the oil tankers in a fireball that incinerated many of those around. The video in the German tactical operations center showed a huge mushroom cloud blanketing the area and revealed only a few fleeing survivors out of the 100 or so people that had previously been present on the screen.
