      Donald Hornig's experience with the Trinity atomic bomb is what nightmares are made off. Donald worked on the firing unit that was used to initiate the implosion of the Fat Man atomic bomb.

On the night of the Trinity test, the area was hit by a major electrical storm. Donald Hornig was ordered by Robert Oppenheimer to spend the night at the top of the 100 ft steel tower with the Trinity Atomic Bomb during this lightning storm. . . .
