Navy blimp collapsed by nuclear blast wave during Operation Plumbbob nuclear tests in 1957.
Description
English: PLUMBBOB/STOKES/dirigible – Nevada test Site, August 7, 1957. The tail, or “After” section of a U.S. Navy Goodyear ZSG-3 Blimp is shown with the Stokes cloud in background. The dirigible was in temporary free flight in excess of five miles from ground zero when collapsed by the shock wave from the blast. The airship was unmanned and was used in military effects experiments on blast and heat. On ground to the left are remains of the forward section.
Français : PLUMBBOB/STOKES/BLIMP - 7 août 1957, site d'essais du Névada. Partie arrière d'un dirigeable captif "Blimp" de la marine américaine, avec le champignon atomique de l'essai "stokes" en arrière plan. Les restes de l'avant du dirigeable sont visibles au sol sur la gauche. Le "Blimp" était en vol libre a plus de huit kilomètres (5 miles) du point d'explosion lorsqu'il a été détruit par l'onde de choc due à la détonation.
