"Now we are all sons of bitches!" (Kenneth Bainbridge, Trinity test director)
Following the fearsomely successful explosion early in the morning of July 16, 1945, Bainbridge congratulated J. Robert Oppenheimer and the scientists who set up the test before making this legendary remark. Oppenheimer later said it was the best thing anyone said just after the test. Bainbridge subsequently dedicated himself to the control of nuclear weapons.
