A remastered footage of Crossroads Able shot 1946 first an atom bomb air drop sea testing in the Pacific ocean
The first test, Shot "Able" (left), a plutonium bomb dropped from a B 29 on July 1, performed as well as the plutonium devices used at Trinity and Nagasaki. Able nonetheless failed to fulfill its pre-test publicity buildup. Partly this was because expectations had been too extravagant and observers were so far from the test area that they could not see the target array. Partly it was because the drop had missed the anticipated ground zero by some distance and the blast sank only three ships. In any event, the general conclusion reached by the media at Bikini was that the "atomic bomb was, after all, just another weapon.
