An atomic device dropped from an Air Force bomber exploded high above the Yucca Flat prov ing grounds today as over 2,000 Marines huddled in foxholes only 700 yards away.
The blinding explosion came at 4.30 p.m. GMT, 48 hours behind schedule and after the history- making Marine atomic manoeuvres had been twice postponed by bad weather.
A few seconds after the explosion, and the appearance of a fireball plus the familiar mushroom cloud high aver the dezert test centre, the Marines climbed from their foxholes to begin an assault as pari of the exercise.
