Description: Another angle on test GRABLE, the Atomic Cannon test during Operation UPSHOT KNOTHOLE in 1953. In the foreground is a school bus and further back is a train car. You can see the precursor shock move through the frame. Photographed with a 16mm Eastman High Speed Camera at an estimated speed of 500 fps on top of an 18 ft tower. This camera is approximately 4600 ft from Ground Zero. This is a lower resolution then the other GRABLE shots as this was 16mm through a prism whereas the other shots were 35mm shot on Mitchell Cameras.
