At last the bomb was made. The site chosen for the test explosion was the desert region north of Almogordo, two hundred miles from Los Alamos. The bomb was taken by road and placed on a gaunt tower, one hundred feet high and weighing thirty-two tons, erected on the top of a hill. The code name for it was Zero Hill. Zero hour was 5:30 a.m. on Monday, July 16, 1945.

Oppenheimer himself was at the control centre about nine miles from Zero Hill. There were a thousand spectators including scientists, government officials and a strong security force. All not on duty were told to lie down flat, face and eyes directed towards the ground and with the head away from zero.

At forty-five seconds to zero hour Dr. Joseph L. Mckibban of California University set in motion a weird master robot which set other robots in motion. More than five hundred miles of wiring were used to start the bomb. Electronic impulses were set in motion and relayed messages; electrons moved into position. Observers stood with coloured film over their eyes and heads averted.

Overhead two B-29 super fortresses hovered, equipped with recording instruments to test reactions in the atmosphere. Ten seconds before zero hour a green flare warned the spectators to keep down. Then came the blinding flash.

The whole area was suddenly brighter than the brightest day light, and the bomb was a ball of fire. Even at nine miles, the heat was scorching. Then came the tremendous roar and the heavy pressure wave, which knocked down two men outside the control centre. And then came the cloud – the mushroom cloud, all the colours of the rainbow, ironically beautiful surging upto over 40,000 feet, over 10,000 feet higher than Everest. The great steel tower had gone. Lead lined Sherman tanks took scientists towards the huge sloping crater where it had stood, to see the effects of radiation on the surface of the earth.
