    This answered a lot of questions I had about nuclear blast effects. In particular, I was puzzled about survivor experiences in the book, "Hiroshima." Three of the survivors were about a mile from ground zero; three were from about two miles away. All were luckily shielded by an earthen or stone barrier. The ones a mile away had enough time to take one more step before the blast wave hit; the ones two miles away had enough time for 2-3 steps. That did not square with the speed of sound in normal air, but made sense in terms of heating effects.

      The British did a similar test in Australia with P-51’s and Centurion tanks.
      The surviving aircraft were salvaged and at least one is still flying.
      At least one of the Centurions were later deployed to Vietnam.

      @@anhedonianepiphany5588 According to other films of the time, the planes could be washed, cleaned up, turned around, and ready for action in 24 hours or less. I don't see why they would have been buried. The radioactivity was simply surface contamination, and could be washed away. No parts of the plane would have experienced induced radioactivity, because the plane wouldn't have been exposed to any neutrons. The contamination was all in the extremely thin layer of surface dust. It really wouldn't make sense to bury them.

      Explanation:
      The Great Reset is wiping our way of life off the face of the earth and installing an overtly tyrannical rulership. If you google "Georgia Guidstones" and kind of read between the lines you will get an idea of how comprehensive it is. 911 was the start, Covid is the continuation, and dictatorial authority and global nuclear war are the final acts of the takeover.
      Deep State have put their plans for us into the movies, tv and news for many decades. The above pasted list also has a few 911 references so we can see how they tell us what they're gonna do, then they do it. We all know 911 was done by the US gov, not Arabs in a cave.
      They've been telling us about 923 (probably September 2023) at least since 1986 (movie Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly). I can only assume that the nukes will fly then.
      Be aware that some of the 923 references are obvious, others are obscure. For example, the letter "I" ("I" for India) is the ninth (9th) letter of the English alphabet so is another reference to "9". Also, the number "1" (one) looks like an "I" so it is sometimes used along with "23" to indicate "923" - this technique is used in the introduction to "The Simpsons". Other variations use a "6" as an upside down "9", and various combinations of the digits such as 239, 329, etc.
      Stock up on B Vitamins (B for Brain). B supplements are necessary for us to handle stress.
      This stuff can be scary at first. But after 3 months you will be very calm again.
      Go through the list then pass it on to loved ones so they can be at least mentally prepared. These 923 videos are telling us about a significant event (probably nuclear war) in the future.
      To see what they have done in the past, copy and save the list below in a Notepad document for future reference. It explains A LOT of things about the world and how it works.
