WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THEM?🤔
Very, very sad. In July 1945, a group of 13-year-old girls went camping in America. They swam in a river in Ruidoso, New Mexico. The girl in front of the photo is named Barbara Kent. What none of the girls knew was that nearby, the U.S. military was testing a nuclear bomb as part of the Manhattan Project.
Barbara later spoke about what happened that day:
“We were all just shocked… then suddenly, there was a big cloud above us and strange lights in the sky,” she remembered. “It even hurt our eyes to look up. The whole sky looked strange, like the sun came out all at once, but really bright.”
A few hours later, white flakes started to fall from the sky. The girls were excited. They thought it was snow. They put on their swimsuits and went back to the river to play. “We grabbed the white stuff and put it on our faces,” Barbara said. “But instead of being cold like snow, it was hot. We just thought it was hot because it was summer. We were only 13.”
But those flakes were radioactive dust—fallout from the nuclear bomb test. It had exploded at 5:29 a.m. on top of a 100-foot tower, about 40 miles away in the Jornada del Mu**to valley. The site had been chosen because people thought it was far from where anyone lived. But thousands of people actually lived nearby—some only 12 miles away. No one warned them. No one was told to leave before or after the test, even though the fallout kept falling for days.
