Er, yes, except that the H & S nerds thought that a full-power test might have blown widows out a couple of miles away, with the conditions as they were. I'd call that a good decision.

In any case, there was no need to use a full test - as was explained, they used less explosives, closer to the buildings, to get a similar effect. If they had used a full charge where they were, the entire test area would have been demolished. Spectacular, but not much use in determining building survivability.
