Hiroshima: After the Bomb (Short Animated Documentary) 

The simple fact that he's the only person in history to become the victim of two atomic bombings is mindblowing enough. The fact that after all that he lived a full life until the tender age of 94 is just unbelievable. He truly IS a legend in every sense of the word.

God had to Nerf him somehow so he used two atomic bombs to injure him otherwise the dude would’ve lived forever

That man has a better claim to immortality than jesus.

@@B3RyL well radiation is good for your live expetancy apparrently

@Henry Bushell He probably wasn't the only one who left Hiroshima for Nagasaki, but he's the only Nijou Hibakusha (double atomic bombing survivor) to have been confirmed by the Japanese government. There is actually a documentary which claims that there were more than 160 Nijou Hibakusha or something like that, but their accounts could not be verified. Many people died of post-bombing wounds and complications too, so the line between "survivor" and "casualty" gets kinda blurry. In any case, he's the only one who was officially recognized as a 100% confirmed Nijou Hibakusha.

"Dude, I swear, I had shit to do there tomorrow!"

And see a mushroom cloud over where the city was supposed to be. It's a sight never seen before by most people, and probably resembled that of a volcanic eruption to someone who saw it the first time.

The US had razed most Japanese cities to the ground anyway . Hiroshima and Nagasaki where left alone just so they be nuked .

Yamaguchi: A bomb had completely destroyed Hiroshima. Boss: There is no way a bomb that powerful can be constructed. I cannot believe you unless I see it...

Weijia Fang he never saw it because the flash ended everything in an instant rip in piece.

"Yesterday I was in Hiroshima and a bright flash occurred and the city was gone" "That's bs" *Bright flash outside boss's window* "You've got to shitting me"

Weijia Fang This got me thinking.. probably there were some people who were sent to both a German death camp AND a Soviet Gulag.

@@deadby15 I believe there should have been at least some Polish military personnel that probably did that since, both, the Nazis and the Soviets wanted the Polish command to get eradicated e.g. the Katyn Massacre for the Soviet Union (a lot of Polish military officers and higher ups died there, so I imagine somebody must've made it out and got caught by the Nazis).

Yes, that a tough one.

By the sound of it, a bit of both

Por que no los dos?

Both

your answer is yes.

I wouldn't imagine the people living there would want to have a huge monument commemorating one of the worst and most brutal acts of war ever committed looming over the place

@@Foxingg There is the Peace Memorial Building, a few other monuments plus that partially ruined building in the area.

@@Foxingg hardly, the nuclear bombs killed less than the Tokyo fire bombings alone In the death toll of tens of millions in the largest war humanity hath witnessed…200,000ish dead are almost a drop in the bucket, and considering the *alternative* ie “To fully pacify the nation, we would have to kill 25% of the Japanese population (in the event of an invasion)” You tell me which would be worse

Got to say, there is Peace Memorial Park featuring the Atomic Bomb Dome (the famous remnants of an industrial exhibition center that sat beneath the blast), which is a World Heritage site. And a museum there which shows the horrors of atomic weapons while promoting the end of all atomic weapons everywhere. And the peace flame, which will only go out when all atomic weapons are abolished. Yes, the marker of where the bomb actually exploded (in the air) is on a side street, but that's because the Enola Gay didn't hit the bridge target dead on. My point is that Hiroshima very much acknowledges, advocates, protests and fights against the existence of nuclear weapons. It's part of the city's spirit.

That’s the thing with the Japanese, they don’t tend to dwell on the past.

More coins than any non-military personnel right? Assuming being miles away in a bunker counts as surviving and not cheating. Otherwise; he easily holds the record.

Is 2 alot? Depends on the context. Coins? No. Survived nukes? Yeah definitely.

@@willhaney96 Probably both.

Which is kinda bad to japan's policy, really. They are disencouraging people to use car. I did live in Seno city [Higashi hiroshima] went to Hiroshima from time to time, the street were big and has many lanes but pretty empty. Most people are just using public transport anyway so. not really a good thing.

that US mayor seems not to be the sharpest tool in the shed. not suprising

The more you know.

There is a film by Martin Scorsese that tells about the first Portuguese priests in Japan "silence"

didn't know this, thanks!

And don't forget that Pedro Arrupe, one spanish jesuit (and doctor) working in the outskirts of Hiroshima survived the bombing and made an campaign hospital in the jesuit novitiate in the aftermath of the bombing.

Also, the most common type of Catholic priests present in Japan were the Jesuits, which is why you see them so often in Anime and Manga.

I greatly appreciate the humor of these. People can say it's bad taste all they like, but this is heavy stuff and it needs a bit of levity.

You can read A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro to find out about life in Nagasaki after the bombing. A very spooky book.

​@@IudiciumInfernalum You expect them to send a fleet of extra planes for no reason?

Which begs the obvious question: Why?

I am very sorry for sounding rude but the bombing of Japanese cities did jack shit to make people realise how powerful nuclear weapons were(they knew it prior to nuking Japan). The bombing took place to show off the force of those bombs. There was even a plan to annihilate Russia in 1945 but the soviet military presence in Europe made the USA's and UK's question such action. In 1949 Russia created their own nuclear weapon which helped the world maintain relative peace. Mutual annihilation guarantees peace.

ah yes 9/11 is comparable to Hiroshima true

Andrew Mitchell - That is exactly what I meant. Thanks.

I remember we had a chapter regarding that book. It had the exact same line (in my native language) a person vaporised and only the shadow remained in a rock

Me too. Old style Penguin with the grey and white colour bands. I think my uncle had bought it and left it at our house, I guess I read it in about 1965 at the age of 12. We had not long been through the Cuba crisis and I distinctly remember in 1961 looking up at contrails wondering if this was it. When I then read Hershey's book it had a permanent effect on my opinions - one of the most sobering things I have ever read. Appalling business. I too have carried with me for 50+ years the picture of an image of a man burnt permanently into concrete.

Simple answer, but perfect for a 3 minute video.

3 words Mustafa kemal attaturk

There were already discussions of a new alphabet system because the Arabic alphabet had problems codifying the palace language (Ottoman Turkish) and wasn't really formalized to fit the standard rural Turkish before Atatürk too. Details of the inconsistency would be better explained by a linguist, but it was heavily discussed that the alphabet didn't fit the language. There were several attempts at promoting the Latin alphabet during the 1910s. Enver Paşa even invented a brand new writing system based on the Arabic alphabet called Huruf-u Munfasıla and tried to get the army to adopt it, but it fell out of favor quickly due to its impracticality. There were alternatives to the Latin alphabet like adapting the Arabic alphabet, adopting an old Turkic alphabet or creating a new one but these proposals were rejected because Atatürk envisioned a Western oriented Turkey, and adopting the Latin alphabet emphasized that goal. Literacy rates in the late Ottoman empire were really low, estimated between 6-10% before the revolution and most of the literate population were the educated elite, state bureaucrats and officers in the army. A very large percentage of those were already literate in French and/or German due to Westernization efforts of the late Ottoman administrations, therefore familiar with the Latin alphabet. Some discussions about it make it seem like a huge reform that shook the foundations of the culture, but in reality it was relatively easy to adopt and massively successful too, as indicated in literacy boom of the young republic between 1923-1938.

A modern fusion bomb uses an atomic bomb as its detonator.

Unfortunately that’s very true. To put it in perspective, my history teacher told me that if one modern bomb was dropped in New York City parts of NJ and Delaware would be dying from atomic fire if they didn’t die from the initial blast. Meanwhile those in the middle and southeastern states would likely get cancer from the radioactive dust .

Correction *Nuclear and *Hydrogen

@@garybrown2039 There is a common misconception there: While radiation should not be ignored and is pretty horrible, it is nowhere near as bad as media often represents it. Yes, many people die directly from radiation sickness in the vicinity of the explosion (those that survive the other effects), it's not actually that much and further away it's effects are at most a slight increase in cancer rates. I mean the biggest bomb ever detonated, the tsar bomba (roughly 50 times the power of the most powerful bombs currently deployed by the nuclear powers) was detonated over northern russia, and there is no evidence of radiation sickness and while there was a slight increase in cancer rated it was only in the far north, it didn't spread to cover the eurasian landmass. Any modern bomb that can be carried by missiles that detonates in NYC would have no effect on states outside new england and even there a lot more limited than people usually believe.

@@peterg76yt You make it sound strange. It's just a combinations of fission and fusion in stages, still going all off in seconds. Even older bombs were fusionbombs/thermonuclear, just like the Tsar bomba.

Yeah he become over 90 years old and that after being nuked twice a feat in itself and when he hit his nineties he started to take about his experiences in school and went to UN to take against the bomb, he was a quite remarkable person.

Which was an actual plan the Japanese had BTW.
