In 1957, when everyone was freaking out about atomic bombs and just being very unreasonable about the possible health risks of nuclear radiation (ah, 1957. We were so innocent.) five scientists decided to shut down the haters by standing directly under an exploding nuclear bomb. Yes. We know. Five normal human beings just stood there while a 2-kiloton nuclear bomb went off 18,500 feet over their heads. And yes, there's a video you can watch, just as soon as you finish putting your head back on your shoulders. Warning: the video is basically a nuclear bomb for your mind ...
