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.
