| What explosive event shook the world fifty six years ago this week? |
 |
| In the Pre-Dawn hours of July 16th, 1945, the brave men and women of the Manhattan Project saw their months of hard, clandestine work flourish in a glowing brilliance.
At 0529 hours and forty-nine seconds the first atomic bomb was detonated at the Trinity site, in the Alamogordo bombing range. The blast was so powerful that it vaporized the 100-foot steel tower the bomb was perched upon. The bomb`s intensity was such that it transformed sand at ground zero to green glass.
The enormous blast also created a crater measuring 24,000 feet across and up to ten feet deep in some places.
