ResponderEliminarTranscribo unos párrafos de uno de los artículos cuyos enlaces adjunto un poco más abajo:
"...Detonation. Shards of brilliant light penetrated all the protective devices and severely pained my eyes for a few seconds. As the brilliance faded, I could see the bones in my hands. Suddenly I began to feel as if millions of long, hot needles were shooting through my body.
We did not have fire-resistant garb; I was wearing only a lightweight flightsuit. When I pushed the goggles up, instead of seeing the light fading the way it had in previous blasts, I had the horrible sensation of being on fire..."
No me extraña la carita del piloto ("...no te preocupes, hombre, sólo es una bombita de unos pocos kilotones...")
