Nagasaki-Dirt from Ground Zero-Atomic Bomb

by xerpor Jul 26, 2004 1:18AM PDT

I can't hardly believe this:

"This auction is for a baggie of dirt taken from the hypocenter in Nagasaki. It measures about 1/3 of a cup, which is the same amount as in the little bottle in the picture. It would have been very easy to get the dirt from outlying areas, but this dirt and rubble is from directly under the fireball!"
