I'd do it if it was only 30 odd psi, however the blast at ground level was more like 350psi, which is ~24 atmospheres (in old speak), don't think I'd be that keen on that, the fact of the matter is that there was a substantial cover up of the facts after the event, this gives good reason to believe that not all things said by the US Govt are correct.
