Atom bomb testing of 1946 - Soldiers present that day were exposed to high levels of radiation

This video shows the atom bomb testing and it's devastating effects. The United States built a model city in Nevada with dummys, canned food, buldings, cars and many other items to show the effects of the bomb after it went off. Many of the soldiers who were miles away but present to view the explosion were exposed to radiation and many got cancer years after the testing.
