Mom And Son Watching The Mushroom Cloud After An Atomic Test, Las Vegas, 1953
Back in the 1950s the US, having already dropped two nuclear bombs, continued testing the deadly weapons of massive destruction in the Nevada desert. The photograph shows Jacqueline Buck and her son, who were residents of Las Vegas, Nevada, watching a mushroom cloud from their living room window. The tests were taking place merely 75 miles away from their house.
