A-Bomb Test: Eniwetok Blast Shows Devastation of Area Films just released by the Defense Dept. show the awful effect of an atom-bomb blast upon all types of buildings. Right before your eyes, the terrific force of the bomb crumbles concrete structures and whips other buildings into rubble. A terrible lesson for the world. Aerials of Eniwetok atoll. Various shots of buildings that will soon be destroyed. Shirtless men (soldiers?) make ready old tanks and pieces of airplanes. Men in control room talk on headsets, examine control panel. Nuclear explosion; various shots show some of the buildings being partially destroyed (but with such dramatic music on the soundtrack, I'd think they should be blown to smithereens!).
