In the movie "Trinity and Beyond" there were many archived film clips taken 
from within the nuclear blast. How did the camera withstand the concussion, 
heat, electromagnetic pulse, and radiation? In the films, everything filmed was 
destroyed. Buildings, trees, vehicles were tossed about like toys. How did the 
camera survive?
