UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE - This operation conducted at the Nevada Test Site consisted of 11 atmospheric tests. There were three airdrops, seven tower tests, and one airburst. Conducted between March 17 and June 4, 1953, this operation involved the testing of new theories, using both fission and fusion devices.

The photo shows the complete disintegration of a house by a nuclear blast. What a theory.

Scotland's Secret Bunker


Tourists are invited to Scotland's Secret Bunker:

"Bookings will be taken throughout the year for parties, weddings and corporate events."

You can host a party in the bunker's original mess hall, or even an "underground" Rock Concert in this decomissioned Cold War Bunker.

According to the promotional site, this Bunker was built in secrecey in the 1950's and disguised as a Scottish farm house. Scottish officials and possibly NATO war planners would "winter" the Appocolypse here underground.

Read about Exercise Great Heart"...one of a number of war games held... at the Bunker...from the afternoon of Friday 6th May to Saturday 7th May 1988. Great Heart simulated the action that would have been taken had the Cold War turned hot and forced those involved [in Scotland] to confront the realities of Nuclear War."

I can only assume that Scotland has better, newer, much more secret bunkers - if this one is a tourist attraction.
