Chief Johannes remembers the dayvividly. We were told to look in the direction of Enewetak. Those of us who did will never forget what they saw. First, a bright flash rising up from the’water; then it appeared as though the sea had caughi fire. A great, huge fire rose up into the sky and a noise was heard thet was louder than any thunder....What we saw caused us to worry about what was happening on our atoll, but we were told that we could not go there to see. Instead, we continued to wait, Thirty years of waiting ends on May 1, 1977. Forty million dollars will be spent by the United States government to clean up the islands, and to remove the remnants of the now brush-covered test facilities, The Enewetakese people will be coming home.
