Sile12:
Seventy years ago, on 6 August 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. Credited with bringing an end to the Second World War, up to 200,000 people died during the two blasts which remain to this date the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare.As the 70th anniversary of the bombings is commemorated, ageing survivors of the world's first nuclear attack on a civilian population are starting to worry about the legacy they are leaving behind.

Moment of silence: Japan fell silent at 8:15am, that was the moment the bomb was dropped and detonated. 8:15a.m, 6th August, 1945.

That is the sad and very bitter truth.

The alternative would have been a prolonged invasion of the Japanese home islands....which would have led to millions of deaths.

Shiroyama Primary School Leveled By The Blast.

The heat Rays nurned the clothing pattern onto the skin.

A Woman's Back Burned By The Strong Heat Rays.


The photograph on at the top shows the dark portion of the pattern of the clothing imprinted on the skin by the powerful heat rays. This is also called secondary burns, in which the skin under the clothing received burns through the clothes scorched by the heat rays.The photograph at the bottom shows a woman who must have been exposed to the A-bomb less than 2 kilometers from the hypocenter, judging by the extent of the burns on her entire back. Though the affected part was medically treated, you can see that the degree of the burns differs according to the angle at which the heat rays were received: the burns on the left shoulder are most severe, and the burns on the right shoulder to the waist are relatively light. Ninoshima Island, where this woman was evacuated to, is situated about 4 kilometers south of Ujina port, it has a circumference of about 14 kilometers. On this island there were several facilities, including the Army Quarantines. These facilities became emergency first-aid stations, and it is estimated that roughly 10,000 victims of the A-bomb were transported to this island by boat. Over 2,000 people breathed their last here.

This photograph shows the stone steps of the main entrandce of Sumitomo Bank which is only 250 meters from the hypocenter. It is believed that a person sat down on the steps facing the direction of the hypocenter, possibly waiting for the bank to open. By a flash of the heat rays with temperatures well over a 1,000 degrees or possibly 2,000 degrees centigrade, that person was incineratied on the stone steps. Up to about 10 years after the explosion, the shadow remained clearly on the stones, but exposure to rain and wind has been gradually blurring it. So, when the bank was newly built, the stone steps were removed and are now preserved at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

Citizens who were able to escape from hell on earth that day evacuated to the suburban areas of Hiroshima City and took refuge at first-aid stations set up in public buildings. However, this provided only momentary relief. They started to die one after another at the first-aid stations, and cremation could not catch up with the rate of death, so many of them had to be buried togeter. In July of 1952, seven years after the atomic bombing, 252 remains were dug out from five places in Saka township of Aki country, which is situated 8 or 9 kilometers from the hypocenter. In one location, 156 bodies had been buried together; in another location, the cremated remains of 36 people had been buried together. This photograph shows the remains in Saka township. In the same year, 43 bodies from a vacant lot which used to be the Yamanaka Girl's High School in Senda township of Hiroshima City, and 29 bodies from Kanawajima Island off Ujina, Hiroshima City, were also dug up.Twenty years after the bombing, in the autumn of 1971, human bones were accidentally found on the grounds of Ninoshima Junior High School on Ninoshima Island, where thousands of A-bomb victims dies. Believing these bones were remains of A-bomb victims, the Hiroshima municipality dug the area for about one month and recovered the remains of 617 bodies.The remains of A-bomb victims are still being recovered scores of years after the bombing. Hiroshima, Nagasaki and surrounding areas are still the graveyards of the A-bomb victims.

Brighter than a thousand suns: Eyes that have seen a nuclear blast. That's what surviving victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These eyes have seen a nuclear blast
and it’s been the last thing they’ve seen. After the image of that bright flash of light, there has been nothing. The girl lived in Hiroshima when war criminals threw an atomic bomb on the civilians
there. The photo was taken in 1963 so the girl lived with her corneas burned for at least 18 years.

No, he is not.

Japan was a thorn in the flesh in southeast Asia fighting and conquering the weaker countries even China. What do you think Shinto Abe is doing in the UN of recent if not apologising for their war crime and atrocities.
What concerns Japan with Pearl Harbour.? USA has a navy fleet ready in case of any attack but Japanese generals deemed it fit to attack them killing may soldiers in the process. Americans are good at one thing retaliation which often leaves their mark behind, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya can testify on that.
Albert Einstein's E=mc^2 equations was tested on Japan and it worked to end their war crimes.
Guess who is the greatest ally of USA in southeast Asia.....Japan before South Korea.

Still doesn't cut it for me. If you are gonna fight evil do it with good not with a greater evil. I'd prefer they invaded Japan and engaged d Japanese army in conventional warfare than taking this cowardly option of mass murdering innocent civilians with such a horrific weapon.

I also agree that some good came out from these bombings afterwards as every country have forcibly embraced peace out of the fear of being another Hiroshima.
you have no idea what would have occurred the atrocities would've been far worse the Japanese weren't fighting clean. Civilian casualties would have been far worse other Asian cities would've suffered tremendously, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary evil.

lol Germany started the war, but they surrender, italy follow up, soviet union, USA, UK gave up and stopped fighting. but the japanese was still attacking the allied forces.

The atomic bomb was originally supposed to be made by the Germany scientist, they lost the war and gave up all of their inventions.
Since japan was still attacking, soviet union, USA, UK all agreed to continue with the experimental process of the radioactive bomb and use it on japan.

they had to bomb two major cities before japan surrendered

The heat from the eye of the blast was so extreme, shadow marks were left on the surface of the Yorozuyo Bridge where railings had blocked the intense thermal rays.

Well concerning this Hiroshima and Nagasaki case, the Japanese hasked for it when they attacked Pearl harbor, they took the wrong side during the ww2, siding the Nazis as allies.

Well....what was the alternative...

The Americans were planning a land invasion of Japan....and the estimates of potential casualties were horrifying. One estimate put US soldier deaths at 456000, and Japanese civilian deaths at 5-10million.(More info here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall#Estimated_casualties).

So...the bomb was a ''good'' alternative.(And please....I do not say that with much joy, as I hate nuclear weapons). At the end of the day...only 200000 people died.Bad....but the alternative was far worse.

Yes...elements in the Japanese govt were putting out peace fillers(including his majesty the Emperor)....but the main cabinet was still devoted to the war effort. Infact....EVEN after the two bombs were dropped the Armed Forces High Command of Japan wanted to continue fighting....and it took a direct order from the Emperor to stop them.

Then what would have been your resolve it it was America that fell as victims of Nuclear weapon?
