Creepy photos show a fake 1950s city filled with mannequins to test nuclear bombs

Here is one of the cars positioned in the blast site.

Complete with passengers straight out of a 1950s department store.

To simulate a real attack, this group of mannequins is positioned on the ground floor by a window, like an unaware family would be.

Others family m were in more secure structures, like this group in a wooden structure of a basement.

Here's another shot of the structure.

This group of mannequins is hiding under the stairs in a basement, likely to test if this was an effective strategy.

Here we see a series of photos showing what happens when the blast hits a wooden house. Note that the wooden boards become utterly scorched by heat and radiation.

This is the aftermath of the blast. The mannequins inside have been knocked around, and would have been exposed to potentially deadly levels of radiation.

The blinds were knocked straight out of the windows.

Lampshades are displaced. A mannequin's torso is missing. These people would not have fared well.
