New Mexico and the first Atom bomb

Military Spending vs. Humanitarian and/or Social Aid

The host of the program made probably about 300 models of military aircrafts and missiles for a set he was making of a fighter plane that was prepping for probably a weapons test and there were about 50 missiles that where spouses to be attached to this plain. The host told us that he meant to set it up like this to show that there was no way all the weapons in the set where going to fit on that one plane. He meant to give that type of image to the person observing the photo because he was trying to say that the US has so much that if the government could donate one missile you could give homes to all the homeless in Albuquerque.

If the bomb worked the public would be told the an ammunition dump accidently exploded, if the bomb killed the people at the test site the public would be told that a freak fire had taken the lives of the world’s top scientists. Airports where told that all air traffic was band in that area and busses were prepared to evacuate the people living in the city located near the site in case of a catastrophic explosion.
