For those of you who like to see things go boom, go directly to part 2. It's mostly the footage you've probably seen before. But I found this fascinating. I knew they used dummies and stuff, but didn't know they dressed them up and put them into beds.. things like that. I guess I've worked on enough sets in my life that I'm used to building something knowing I'm going to strike it a week later, but I still think building a whole house knowing that it's going to be annihilated would be weird.

Edward Gorey watched this from Salt Lake City.

If you've ever watched a scifi movie from the 50's or 60's, you've probably already seen this.
