That's nothing. They would gather on the roofs of the Hotel/Casinos in Vegas to watch the tests.

I found a few pictures of that too, but none with such a beautiful glow as this one. Surely it couldn't hurt if we stuck around a bit longer...?

Yeah. Couldn't find a great one either. I did find this and, like, WTF?
