Five Men Agree To Stand Directly Under An Exploding Nuclear Bomb

(via NPR) On July 19, 1957, five men stood at Ground Zero of an atomic test that was being conducted at the Nevada Test Site. This was the test of a 2KT (kiloton) MB-1 nuclear air-to-air rocket launched from an F-89 Scorpion interceptor. The nuclear missile detonated 10,000 ft above their heads.  NPR has more on the test along with what happened to the participants.  (The bomb blast can be seen at the :59 mark on the video.)
