Hiroshima: Dropping The Bomb - Hiroshima - BBC 

ill never forget one testimony of a Hiroshima survivor who described the immediate reaction to the blast of the bomb "We didnt think it was a bomb. It was so huge, so totally destructive, we thought the world was splitting in two"

"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones" - Albert Einstein

To think we could destroy ourselves in one go just frightens me

"People will say random things that Albert Einstein said that I didn't even said." -Albert Einstein

How to survive everything: Be the cameraman.

“Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap.” -Albert Einstein

When you’re chilling until you see a second sun:

The freaking tension as we're watching the bomb kite down through the sky is THICK.

Humans have only one enemy, Human

my grandfather (4yo)was there. luckly he survived it. after 75 years he can still clearly remember what happened

When J. Robert Oppenheimer said "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

I'm a Japanese and my grandmother is an atomic bomb survivor. My only opinion is that the tragedy of the atomic bomb must never be repeated. I condemn the use of the atomic bomb because it is now being passed off as a 'war-stopping success story' and there is a danger that the use of nuclear bombs will be justified in the future. The atomic bomb does not save the world, it destroys everything. People near the centre of the bombing are instantly vaporised, leaving only shadows, and many people walk around with severe burns all over their bodies, dragging their internal organs and skin with them. Even if you survive the bombing, countless hardships await you. After the bomb, there are people whose bodies were destroyed by radiation and who literally spat blood. Even if you survived the war, your family was separated by disease and survivors were discriminated when marrying or finding work as 'contaminated' people. Even if the war is over, there is no end to the suffering of the survivors of nuclear bombs. The atomic bomb is an extremely inhumane weapon. I am a third-generation A-bomb survivor. My grandmother experienced the atomic bomb when she was three years old. Her mother was pregnant at the time. She was exposed to the bomb along with her baby. It is often said that the atomic bomb is the 'retribution for Japan's past barbarity', but my grandmother, who was three years old, and my great-uncle, who was an unborn baby, had nothing to do with that "past barbarity". Don't get me wrong. Neither I, nor surely my grandmother, want to blame the US or Dr Oppenheimer. Research into the development of the atomic bomb was also carried out at Japanese universities. If I had to blame, it would be the Japanese military of the time that pushed for the war. Telling the history of the atomic bombings is not a way of expressing bitterness about the past, but an action to ensure that no one in the future will suffer from the atomic and hydrogen bombs. The fact remains that Hiroshima was the first city in the world to be bombed. However, we must continue our efforts to ensure that Nagasaki remains the last city in the world to be bombed. Today, the memory of the Holocaust is being used in Israel as a reason to justify Palestinian aggression, as a "distorted sense of victimhood" and "an occasion for self-preservation instincts". European countries and other developed countries cannot take a strong stance against Israel because of their history of persecuting Jews in the past, such as diaspora, pogroms and the Holocaust. We are now witnessing a moment when negative history is giving birth to new negative history. Fortunately, in Japan, the memory of the atomic bombings is not perceived as an exaltation of patriotism, but as a 'reminder of past mistakes' and a pray for peace. This is because the survivors sincerely passed on their experiences and prays for peace to the next generation. However, there is no guarantee that the atomic bombs will not be used as a 'distorted victimhood' in the future. Alternatively, if a nuclear bomb were dropped somewhere in the world today, its memory could trigger new tragedies in the future. Like the memory of the Holocaust in Israel and its relation to the Palestinian genocide. The series of debates about the film Oppenheimer (whether to release the film or not) provided a good opportunity to review how the Atomic bomb is perceived in Japan. I had hoped that the film would have triggered a reassessment of the principle that humanity must never use nuclear weapons again. However, looking at online memes such as 'Barbenheimer', people probably don't understand how horrific the atomic bomb is. Unfortunately, even today, the atomic bomb is still perceived as 'an effective means of surrendering Japan, which continued its barbaric behaviour'. This does not stop the use of new atomic bombs. Again, the atomic bombs bring death and destruction, not success and peace. I do not mean to emphasize Japan's victimhood by any means. I want to tell the world about the horror of the atomic bomb itself. The world is too ignorant. Ignorance destroys the world. Japan is a popular tourist destination worldwide. If you visit Japan, you should go to the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima. There you will see how people's lives were destroyed by the atomic bombs. In today's society, the next victim could be anyone. Looking at the recent international situation, you would have felt. 'You are mistaken if you think that war will always be outside your country. We must never use the atomic bomb again so that you and your family will not be the next victims.

Couldn't imagine sitting outside one day and then instantly getting vaporized.

My grandma was a survivor, she was a Japanese American and 22 years old when the bomb dropped. She was in the basement with her mother and the ceiling collapsed, burying them. She moved back to Honolulu after the war and passed away in 2018. I miss her a lot!

Just come back from Hiroshima. The atomic dome and museum - just so touching the stories behind it all.

Could feel the pain and fear through the video. I imagine how the surviviors must have felt.

Who came here after what happened in Lebanon? Prayers for the deaths ,rest in peace Hope 2021 heal all this if we still alive ...

"You were supposed to watch the video, not read comments" -Albert Einstein

The moral of the story is: DON'T PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE NOSE THEN WHINE BECAUSE YOU GOT KICKED IN THE BALLS!

That fact that over 140,000 people died in this bomb dropping is CRAZYYYY

Who's watching this after the explosion in Lebanon? โอ้ววว เยสสสเกิดมาไม่เคยโดนไลค์เยอะขนาดนี้ วู้ฮู้วววว

"Guys, stop quoting me" -Albert Einstein

RIP to the 20 Aussie women nurses massacred on Bangka by the japanese. May they be remembered.

The camera man needs an oscar 💀

imagine surviving Hiroshima and moved to Nagasaki to escape the radiation.

Remember: This bomb was constructed in 1944 Imagine today’s bombs /:

Few people laughed few people cried but most were silent - Oppenheimer

the cameraman who went near the nuclear bomb, and his perspective riding on the nuclear bomb, mad respect.

This is for those of you who think 2020 is the worst year ever.

"The Greatest Enemy Of Man is Man himself".

Just watching this makes me cry. Imagine if you're in it and manage to survive. What kind of trauma you'll go through!

Bro took here comes the sun to a whole new level

War is a horrible thing. Innocent people suffer the most in this

"People make up fake quotes on the internet all the time" - Abraham Lincoln

It's kinda sad that this happened but at least it stopped WWII But at least it stopped any more conflicts in WWII

There is a movie that shows what happened to people during and after the blast, some were obliterated, some had their skin and flesh melted off their bodies, some even died from radiation as well.

"One day, fake quotes of mine will be on the internet." -Albert Einstein

"The trouble with the quotes of the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Albert Einstein

Till this day I can't believe this happened 😢😢

Insane how these bombs are small in comparison to others made after

Lets just hope ww3 doesnt breakout cuz itll be this x10000

“Stop quoting me” - Einstein

"The camera man never dies" -Albert Einstein

The video strikingly portrays the Japanese as victims, seemingly forgetting the countless Asians under the inhumane rule of Imperial Japan, prisoners of the Pacific War, and soldiers of the Allied forces. It gives the impression that atomic bombs were dropped on peaceful Japanese cities without any reason.

Sound engineer does more devastating sound effect than atomic bomb does to Hiroshima.

“I need to stop writing so many quotes.” -Albert Einstein

"I can confirm that Wolverine has survived on that day" - Albert Einstein

Imagine being at a family gathering and then this happens. Plus never knew that they had GoPros on the Bomb XD

Never trust quotes you read online -Albert Einstein

*“Aight imma head out”* ~Albert Einstein.

“Now I have became death”- Oppenheimer

Me: *opens the comments section* Everyone: "olbert oinstoin...."

.

The 2nd target wasn't supposed to be Nagasaki, but some other city. But because of weather, it got changed to Nagasaki.

It's not just about Pearl Harbour, Japan committed far worse atrocities in every place they occupied, the most infamous is Unit 731.

"Just hide under the water like in minecraft." -Albert Einstein

So many hypocrites down here in the comment sections, saying how bad it was but at the same time forgetting that very probably today they can talk thx to that bomb, that sopped the war… immediately. War is war people, you have the freedom thx to the sacrifice that others made, don’t forget and stop judging that.

man i just went to the hiroshima memorial museum in japan. heartbreaking stuff

Let's hope that no more bombs like this ever be dropped again on humans.

“ Humans have only one enemy....the human“ ~Atom Bomb
