The X post from @Rainmaker1973 shares a Motherboard video compiling interviews with atomic veterans who participated in nuclear weapons tests, recounting the physical sensations of the detonations.
Veterans describe turning away and covering their eyes, yet still seeing intense light that revealed bones through their arms, along with an unearthly rising fireball and overwhelming immensity of the blast.
The testimonies reference significant long-term health consequences, including an estimate that 18,500 participants had died by 2013 from radiation-related causes.
