Atomic bomb blast lights up sky over Los Angeles
Atomic explosion, the largest yet set off on the Nevada test range, was
clearly visible in Los Angeles. Staff photographer Perry Folwer was
ready with his camera on a tripod on the roof of the Herald-Express
building when the blast occurred at 5:49 a.m. Reporter Jack Smith,
points towards the great white flash that clearly silhouetted mountains
to the east. The brilliant spectacle was seen by many early-rising
residents of Los Angeles. Photo dated: February 2, 1951.
