Description:
First in a series of photos depicting the effects of a 1950s atomic bomb test on an old REO school bus.
In the first picture, the bomb has just been set off, and already the heat is baking the paint, particularly visible on the roof. |

This is from the Upshot-Knothole-Grable tests, BTW, in 1953. Here's a video of the various tests, along the video footage of this bus (finally ending with the secondary shockwave punching in the side of the bus and sending it flipping).

Note also the test to the Willys Jeep wagon, a planted forest, and various structures.

I've always wanted to know how they managed to keep the camera still and not on fire or blown away by the blast.

#4, AFAIK, it's shot at quite a long distance away, with an extreme zoom.
