Smoky fire tests nuclear theory near Los Angeles
In San Dimas California a helicopter dropped Alumigel on a 600 acre brush fire to test the nuclear winter theory. The experiment paused after a prior crash halted the first attempt. Flames rose 50 to 60 feet while a tall smoke plume drifted over the San Gabriel Mountains as authorities noted mature fuel and the need to burn it safely.
