It's kind of amazing watching the changes take place knowing full well that each change represents some kind of war. Makes the Middle East seem kind of calm by comparison.

This one is even scarier. Every atomic test between 1945 and 1998. Starts off very slowly but soon builds up to speed.

A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto - YouTube


Sadly, the explosions the the US between the years 1950 through 1958 ended up cutting the lives of many of my family members who had the misfortune of living in So. Utah. It's a sad chapter in US history that even today the government will not acknowledge their culpability and instead entered into a no-fault settlement with all us "downwinders". It's a shameful thing to knowingly nuke your own people and then refuse to take responsibility for it.
