With the films budget they could have sourced a small nuclear bomb the size of the original Trinity test and detonated it just for the movie. Just make sure the camera is rolling as it's a one take shot.

It’s pretty morbid but I think I would go watch if there ever was a public nuclear above surface test again. I hope it will never happen.

This is something that happened[0]. Not sure about that site, but a search returned a bunch of similar sites with no domains I was familiar.

I don't think I've ever read a story that encapsulates the vibe of Fallout more than this one. Thanks for sharing!

I would too, and I think it should happen.

I’m in Australia, so it’s only a (relatively) short drive to Woomera.

We should make sure our (the West’s) nuclear deterrent still actually works, and put the fear of God back in to everyone.

And also demonstrate how relatively benign the fallout from a thermonuclear weapon is, ie. relatively little radioactive material is generated from modern nuke.
