16th July 1943 becomes fatal day in history known as "Trinity Day". Au unanticipated reaction happened between uranium and other materials contained in the test bomb, that was transported from test laboratory in Los Alamos to test site. The subsequent explosion triggered a sequence of other nuclear reactions in the storage material. Nuclear explosion wiped off the face of half of New Mexico and large parts of Colorado. The secondary radiation affected the area between the city of Juarez, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Odessa. Seismic activity caused by the explosion spread surface breaks and the subsequent earthquakes created an island of California. Area between San Diego and Santa Ana submerged into the sea. Natural wonder known as Grand Canyon changed in the tens of kilometers deep chasm. As a result, the flow of the Colorado River reversed, river and lake dewatered Lake Mead, Mohave, and Havasu. Las Vegas has become uninhabitable.

A cloud of radioactive fallout soared high into the atmosphere where it was taken by the air currents over the ocean. About a third of ash fell into the ocean, but the rest was in the days and weeks scattered over Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, Romania and Bulgaria. A small part of the fallout also hit Germany, but deaths due to radiation are not confirmed.
