Mushroom Cloud Over Nagasaki, Lieutenant Charles Levy, 1945

via

This is the destruction that Fat Man did on Nagasaki. The bomb was dropped by US forces on Japan during the Second World War. The result of the 20-kiloton weapon was captured by Charles Levy and he took 16 pictures of the mushroom cloud that rose up from the destruction. “It was purple, red, white, all colors—something like boiling coffee. It looked alive.”
