movies

They had an hour's worth of political ahem thriller around whether a guy gets a Senate appointment to the Eisenhower cabinet.

They completely ignored so much of the crazy shit that went down during the actual project.

• The Baker & Williams warehouses, where they accidentally started a nuclear fire with stacked uranium
• The Philadelphia Incident, when three scientists trying to fix a pipe full of uranium hexafluoride accidentally detonated it.
• The Demon Core experiments
• Site W, where the first Plutonium was developed, and the army would disect dead coyotes to measure the impacts produced by all their nuclear waste
• Bikini Atoll & Operation Plumbbob, two major sites of nuclear testing
• Eisenhower's Atoms For Peace speech and the development of nuclear energy, both for civilian use and military locomotion

All this shit was breezed over so they could make a movie about Oppenheimer not being a Communist.
