Here's a film produced by the US military in 1960 to assuage fears about accidental nuclear explosions (that occur when plane's carrying nuclear bombs crash). It has some great soundbites - that classic 1950's v/o speaking very seriously and ominously, firetrucks racing about, old laboratories, mushroom clouds. I am posting this particular video because at about 06:50 there is an animated sequence about what happens within the nucleus during a nuclear explosion, etc. I thought it might be useful for Lauren's segment.

Enjoy :)

Here is my rather hasty log of the 20 minute clip. I will also post it on our google docs.
