Teapot Apple 2 Cue houses atomic bomb effects

The following clips were from an atomic test known as Teapot Apple 2 and Operation Cue which took place on May 5, 1955. Project provided remotely operated photographic coverage of blast and thermal damage to physical structures. Apple 2 was a 29 Kiloton nuclear test. A total of 48 cameras were operated at distances from ground zero of from 2750 ft to 10,500 ft. These particular clips were photographed both inside and outside of the houses at distances ranging from 4700’, 5500’, 7800’ and 10500’ from Ground Zero. They have been cleaned up for the most part with sound effects added. May 2015 will mark the 60th Anniversary of these historic and iconic images.
