Corrected entry: In the atomic blast (depicted in the 1966 stopover of the time machine) the cars, street, bridge and buildings are completely destroyed only feet away from where H. George Wells (Taylor) had been tossed to the ground; yet miraculously he is uninjured and escapes in the time machine.

Correction: One of the oddities of atomic explosions is that they randomly spare areas for no apparent or predictable reason. During the Manhattan Project fake towns were built to test the effects of the atomic bombs on them - sometimes there were entire houses untouched even when the neighborhood around them was ash. It's extremely fortunate but possible.
