trinity

1) The name of the plutonium-239 atomic bomb tested near Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16th, 1945. It was the same type of bomb later dropped over Nagasaki some two months later, on August 9th, 1945. The trinity test had the equivalent power of 20 kilotons of TNT, or rather, 20,000 tons of TNT. It's size is miniscule compared to larger and more powerful tritium bombs (more commonly known as hydrogen bombs, or h-bombs), which have had destructive power close to 50 megatons (or 50 million metric tons of TNT).

2) Passing gas.

1) Trinity went boom.
