Late Wednesday evening,
when doing my nightly "News Crawl" via my NFB Newsline for The Blind
telephone news service, I ran across the following story decrying yesterday
signified the 70th anniversary of an unbelievably bright light being witnessed
at Trinity, New Mexico on July 16, 1945!
As this was either somewhat ironic, overly
karmic or symbiotic that I would be posting my RUSh R40 story on the exact same day in history of thee
first Atom Bomb going BOOM!
Or the Synchronicity of posting my epic RUSh
R40 tome Thursday, since after all the band created another hit song on the
Atom Bomb test's "Half-life" (30yrs ago) appropriately titled
Manhattan Project on their Power Windows album - perhaps in honour of the
anniversary?
VIDEO: Manhattan Project
As Y'all recall
the utter devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki right?
Imagine
a time when it all began
In
the dying days of a war
A
weapon that would settle the score
Whoever
found it first would be sure to do their worst
They
always had before...
