...along the canal route. It involved the simultaneous detonation of a row of three 15-kiloton nuclear charges (compared with 20 kilotons for the Hiroshima bomb), spaced about 500 ft. apart. The blasts produced so little radiation and such stable walls that technicians were able to walk along the rim of the 2,600-ft.-long crater only two days later. The only damages were some cracks in the brick ovens and wall plaster of nearby log cabins. Although the Russians have not done any further blasting, they say that the job could be done with some 250 nuclear devices...

One 15-year-old who was pushed 100 ft. to the edge fell into a 5-ft.-deep crevice in rocks hanging over the chasm. Then, as Knievel's rocket disappeared below the canyon lip, hundreds of spectators began dashing for their cars or bikes, apparently caring more about...
