THE GROUND ZERO SOCIETY

The Ground Zero Society has a history going back to the end of WWII. Specifically, it came into existence on the day of the Trinity test at Los Alamos, New Mexico, on 16 July, 1945.

Membership is free, and open to all. It has no formal organization, no regular meetings, and no dues.

The conditions of membership are simple: when you see a mushroom cloud in the distance, you start walking toward ground zero.

There has been renewed interest in membership in the Ground Zero Society since Vladimir Putin has been making not so thinly veiled references to the use of nuclear weapons in the Ukraine theater of war.
