Check out this Crazy photo I found on the net today. It's an image of lower Manhattan illuminated by ten photoflash cartridges of 50,000,000 candlepower each, dropped from a B-17 Bomber in June 1949 during a U.S.A.F. test of new photographic equipment. I hate to think what happened to the poor souls who were looking out their windows as one of those 50 Million candlepower flashes went off!
