The terror of a nuclear bomb lies not only in the power of its explosion but in the hellish aftermath. Those who were instantly vaporized directly beneath the bomb were the fortunate ones. People with their bodies burnt to a crisp from radiation, skin drooping from their fingertips, eyes falling out, wandered the city groaning with thirst. They eventually succumbed, forming mountains of corpses. This was a city left untouched to measure the power of the nuclear bomb, where until a moment ago, people were living their normal lives, thinking about what to do for the day or what to eat for lunch. Then, before they knew it, their world turned into hell.
Sir you just painted a very gruesome and clear scene in my head, you got a way with words. But thanks it helps empathize 100x's more and draws me in to really understand the aftermath of it all.
My mom was born in Japan in 1945 when my grandparents lived there. I am grateful I live on this earth as my mom’s family survived and moved back to Korea.
One thing many people don't realise is that the casualties were not all Japanese. Thousands of Koreans lost their lives in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

There is a really good book called “Hiroshima” by John Hersey that tells the story of six survivors of the atomic bomb. It was published originally in 1946, but a new chapter was released in 1985 with updates on those the book followed 40 years after the bomb dropped. It’s a really moving read and one I would recommend everyone try to read. It gives a new perspective to the event that I think is often overlooked.
Reading it right now, must resd
Thank you for the suggestion.
Yes it was a good book I did that for a research paper for school, it was definitely devastating to read.
All respect to the cameraman for surviving the nuclear blast.
That cameraman was an Indian 'Yes sar don warry sar. I No die sar' he said
He wasn’t Indian, he was a undercover Russian agent for the U.S, he jumped on the bomb and started charging into the ground and building a bunker within 2 seconds after detonation.

There are 137 double survivors, although most weren't officially recognized. The most famous was on a business trip in Hiroshima. He returned to Nagasaki and was describing the bomb to his boss, who thought he was exaggerating. They saw a flash of light and he yelled "Like that! Get down!" His house was destroyed, but fortunately his wife and daughter were at the drugstore buying ointment. For the sunburn he got in Hiroshima. He lived to be 93.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are famous, but other than that, many of Japan's major cities have been burned by air raids. For example, the bombing of Tokyo on March 10, 1945 killed 100,000 people, many of whom were not properly buried and still remain underground in Tokyo. Therefore, it can be said that Tokyo, which is prospering now, is a huge graveyard. The incendiary bomb dropped by the B29 contained gasoline and was effective in burning up a wooden Japanese house. The attack method was to drop a bomb on the outer circumference of the city, surround it with fire and prevent the citizens inside from escaping, and burned 100,000 people to death. In this way, by the end of the war, more than one million civilians had died.
The March 10, 1945 bombing of Tokyo, named Operation Meetinghouse, was the single most destructive air raid in history. It's death toll exceeded that of any other air raids, including the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and the bombings of Dresden and Hamburg.

I am from the Philippines which was invaded by Japan during those times. An estimated 527,000 Filipinos, both military and civilians, had been killed from all causes; of these between 131,000 and 164,000 were killed in seventy-two war crime events. Killings were brutal and inhumane. They burned villages and towns. The Japanese forced Filipino women and children to be used as human shields into the front lines to protect Japanese positions. Those who survived were then murdered by the Japanese.
Yes, Japan was the aggressor. But with all wars, there are so many innocent victims, and it those who we mourn.
These are civilians, whats wrong with you?

Darkest day in history of humanity 😢
15 million people combined would've died if the invasion of Japan went through. Around 200,000 people died from the atomic bombs. Is it justified? No. But did it stop the war?
I am Japanese. I have visited Hiroshima several times. Most Japanese students are supposed to go on a school trip to Hiroshima or Nagasaki. As I walked through the streets of Hiroshima, the city was so lively that I wondered if the atomic bomb was really dropped on this place. The city was full of modern buildings, the air was delicious, and the sky was a clear blue sky. However, when I looked at the Atomic Bomb Dome and its riverside, there were certainly bottles melted by the heat of the atomic bomb, traces of corpses, and apparently heavily burned soil. The current land in Hiroshima is a newly piled soil, and if you dig deep into the ground, human bones, small debris, and the land that was exposed at that time will come out as it is. The Atomic Bomb Museum is a place that humankind should definitely visit at least once. It's very grotesque, but you can learn the horror of the atomic bomb and the misery of war.

@DeepStrike Wolfpack d*ckhead.
They did not warn specifically that Hiroshima was going to be bombed
And people call Hitler a evil man. Really
I've often wondered how much the Enola crew really knew about the bomb. I mean I'm sure they knew it'd be powerful, it would detonate midair, would be slowed with a chute for them to get out of range etc. But if they really knew just what kind of power they were about to unleash. Also always thought it was odd the plane went solo. No escorts, no other bombers to divide enemy attention? And why the Japanese didn't respond with any AA fire or had any interceptors patrolling the skies
By this time in the war the Japanese military had lost the vast majority of thier aircraft. Of those remaining only a handful could even catch a B-29. Combined with the lack of pilots and no fuel to train new ones a single B-29 would not of been considered a threat. At most the Japanese would of thought it was a reconisence plane to take pictures for future bombing raids.
I don't think there were many people who understood how destructive the bomb would actually be until it was actually seen in reality, especially since nothing like it had been seen before.
@@RT-mm8rq After Japan's surrender, it was discovered the Japanese mainland had 12,700 fighter planes and 18,600 kamikazi pilots, with 4,200 rated for night time flying.
this isn't from a historical account but from a novel i just read called Black Rain by Masuji Ibuse; it's mentioned repeatedly in it that people were already so used to enemy planes flying over without any bombs being dropped that it didn't even occur to them that that time it would be different. so they were caught by surprise i don't know how true it is but as the novel is based on historical accounts there is probably some truth to it

Albert Einstein had very little to do with it. The truth is, somebody would have built an atomic bomb, eventually; we were just lucky we did it first.

When we don't learn any lesson from History,it repeats itself.
I think the lesson was learned don’t be an aggressor to a country that has nukes.
@@angelicadickson8666 or just don’t make nukes 🤣

glad USA Did this this was the only way of stopping war.
@@oversouledict2005 I am sure if Biden asks politely China will completely disarm all of theirs.
Did anyone on the earth really win a day that showed the doom of our entire species. My father worked on the electronics for these devices as an exotic weapons specialist designation. The later ones that became called nuclear. He told me the scariest film he ever saw was one called On The Beach. Because it was accurate to what a Neutron bomb would do. I recommend the movie,it's as sobering as the reality of the Bomb. I also learned...the Bomb is forever....

The fact that this video gets recommended every year is to remind us the consequences of a war and the loss of lives 💔
😄😄
to remind us that USA is evil.
cry
And to remind us about who did that absolutely unbelievable devastating things and never have been punished for that. Who is now keep talking about nuclear weapons, getting closer to a WW3.
that was not an element of war, but the greatest crime in history
BIGGEST TERROR ATTACK

I'm reading through the comments and some of ya'll need some damn history lessons.
+Elizabeth Gutierrez Actually, they need to go back and RETAKE history because they obviously failed it. Dropping the bombs was a lesser evil compared to just outright invading Japan, and given how the Japanese treated their POWs and captured civilians...basically to them surrender was an act of dishonor so you can imagine how that went. People crying for Japan because it was the only country that had been bombed like that when they fail to realize how it lead up to that point in the first place.
***** It was still unclear as to when Japan would capitulate. They were preparing to themselves to some degree, but they also had tons of kamikazes and soldiers waiting to fight to the death if the Allies came ashore. The Allies didn't know Japan was willing to do so since they hadn't replied back after given the warning about the atomic bombs, and from experience of taking Iwo Jima and Okinawa, no one was willing to risk that endevour of invading Japan like that. Hell, so many Purple Hearts were made in preparation for it those medals had been used in the decades following. Also, from a political standpoint, Truman was pressured to authorize use of the weapon. Imagine how bad it would be if millions of soldiers died invading Japan when it could've been more practical to use the A-bomb. That's how alot of people were thinking back then.
***** Ok where are you getting your information from, cause some of it is very skewed. The Yamato was supposed to run aground at Okinawa but only got half way to its destination before air strikes sunk her and a good portion of her escort fleet. The U.S. did warn Japan about 'prompt and utter destruction' as far back as July, but the way it was described was rather vague. Even some leaflets were dropped in cities but they depicted varied meanings. While it is true B-29 raids occured on Aug. 9 and 10 it was to ensure Japan could not have the capability to start another conflict. It was the same thing that Germany went through with all of its war industry being damaged and destroyed. I used Okinawa as an example, but I also used Iwo Jima as those are the two islands where the US marines suffered greater casualties than they had previously, and it was a sign of how the Japanese intended to fight as the Allies drew closer. As far as the US not taking prisoners of war, they still took PoWs, but because the Japanese military was heavily influenced by Bushido, surrender was an act of dishonor to them, so they'd rather die fighting or commit suicide than surrender. Lastly, you're forgetting the fact General MacArthur landed in Japan on Aug. 30, 15 days AFTER Japan announced its surrender, so it would be obvious why he came ashore with such a small detail.
***** You still arent acknoledging how the Yamato died. It wouldn't have mattered if she had engine problems or not as she would've died under the air strike sent after her regardless. And by 10%, where did you get that assumption? Bushido has been in Japanese code for many years, and just about all of their military followed it to a key, especially since Hideki Tojo wired it into their system. So instead of feeling sorry for the Japanese, why don't you take a good hard look at how they fought during the whole war? Starting with China. They killed hundreds of civilians, killed many soldiers who had surrendered as they believed it to be dishonorable, and lets not forget the many women who were raped or killed for God knows why. Hell, at Saipan they told the civilians to kill themselves spreading false rumors that the US would do the same to them, but that was far from the truth. Seriously you make it sound like the US was the villian in all of this without mentioning the atrocities Japan commited in its conquest. And you're still forgetting that Japan was beaten and surrendered by the time MacArthur arrived, so obviously it was an easy ride.
yes , like American crime against the indians,? or Japanese? or irak ? or afghanistan?or somalia,or what?
Some people just make joke about KZhead algorithm, but for me as WW2 historian I see this as an opportunity for people to learn, see and feel the fear of atomic destruction.
It is frightening, indeed!
Don't fear anyone without the one Allah❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
