There was a bright flash and brief, instant heat.
We were left with a light ash covering our entire bodies.

Actually, I think the facemask (and a number of other critical airplane components) were described as a sort of synthtic rubber.
I loved that movie and the book.

"The Andromeda Strain (1971)"
First thing I thought of when I saw the headline.
Read it when it first came out and again a few years ago.
