Mushrooms and Shock Waves

The other day I sat down to watch Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (number IV) and saw a scene that for some reason sparked another idea of something cool to do in life.

I’m not sure how it will exactly work as I’m not particularly interested in being anywhere near an nuclear bomb, but nonetheless, I suddenly found myself interested in witnessing an explosion large enough to have a mushroom cloud and a shockwave. I think it’d be best if all participants had to be at least half a mile away for safety reasons.

Here’s a quick (bootlegged) clip from that scene in the movie that sparked my interest. In retrospect, I’m not totally sure why this would give me that “oh, I’ve gotta do that” sense. I guess I’ll take it where I get it!
