Hiroshima, Japan-First Atomic Bomb (With Historical Facts)
Hiroshima was the site of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on August 6, 1945, during World War II. Over 140,000 people were killed. I visited the A-Bomb Dome building which was the only building in that area to survive the explosion.

August 6, 1945 ~ Truman Drops the A-Bomb on Hiroshima
President Harry S. Truman faced a decision of unprecedented gravity.
Any attempt to invade the Japanese home islands would result in horrific American casualties.
Truman concluded that deploying the newly developed Atomic bomb would save nearly 1-million American lives and ultimately Japanese lives by bringing the war to a swift end.
Truman issued a demand for an immediate unconditional surrender and stated that refusal would result in total destruction.
The Japanese Military refused.
On August 6, 1945, the American B-29 bomber Enola Gay piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets dropped the five-ton Little Boy bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima
Instantly, 70,000 Japanese citizens were vaporized.
Despite the horrific destruction Japan still refused to surrender.
On August 9, a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, where 80,000 Japanese people perished.
Ultimately, on August 14, 1945, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally.

What Oppenheimer didn't show about Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Trinity Test and Gita
#oppenheimer #oppenheimer2023 #trinitytest
'Now I am become death, the Destroyer of Worlds' is a wrong interpretation of Gita! Nagasaki atom bombing used Plutonium Device 'Fat Man', while 'Little Boy' gun-type uranium device was used in Hiroshima atomic bombing. The first one was dropped by Enola Gay Boeing B-29, while the second one was a device named Fat Man dropped by Bockscar. Trinity test used Plutonium explosive, though both are nuclear chain reaction. Oppenheimer didn't quote anything from ancient Hindu scripture Gita immediately after Trinity Test and when he quoted as part of an NBC broadcast, Oppenheimer misquoted Gita. He is also not the real 'father of atomic bomb,' Enrico Fermi is! Fermi was the creator of world's first nuclear reactor. I have revealed the reality of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing in this video along with exploring childhood of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Also, why Christopher Nolan’s biopic Oppenheimer has prompted outrage among the Hindu right wing in India? Did Oppenheimer really poison Patrick Blackett's apple in Cambridge University?
Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer revealed the truth, only partially. It doesn't show us the horrifying aftermath of the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This video here will reveal the reality of atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 with blow-by-blow account along with the aftermath of the atomic bombs. ‘Oppenheimer’ doesn’t really depict Atomic Bomb’s consequences. Based on Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography about the theoretical physicist, American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Nolan’s three-hour epic opens with a quote about the Greek god being eternally punished for stealing fire from the gods to bring light to humanity. This film follows Julius Robert Oppenheimer (played by Irish actor Cillian Murphy) as he studies and teaches quantum mechanics and theoretical physics at various prestigious U.S. and European universities. Manhattan project, Trinity Test were the main plots along with Oppenheimer's political inclinations.
After the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, workers on Tinian island labored intensely to put the finishing touches on the Fat Man bomb and prepare it for use. This was a plutonium implosion device of far greater complexity than the Little Boy bomb used at Hiroshima, which used uranium-235 in a fairly conventional explosive mechanism. The scientists and ordnance experts at Los Alamos had agonized for years over how to use plutonium in an atomic weapon, and Fat Man was the result.
As the specter of nuclear war rears its ugly head once again, seventy-eight years later, we’re all in dire need of a reminder of the threat posed by Oppenheimer’s invention. Imagine if Nolan had used his finely honed cinematic skill to show us the horrors of nuclear war, up close and personal. That would have provided apocalyptic food for thought, from the Kremlin to the White House, where Oppenheimer once lamented to President Truman that he had “blood on my hands.” Veteran screenwriter and director Paul Schrader has pronounced it “the best, most important film of this century . . . . If you see one film in cinemas this year it should be Oppenheimer . . . this one blows the door off the hinges.” It’s too bad that Christopher Nolan didn’t go for broke and blow the roof off, too. And this is my attempt to blow off the roof.

Under Water Nuclear Test ???? (it went bad)
GORDON SMITH, P.O.W. WITNESS TO DROPPING OF ATOMIC BOMB ON HIROSHIMA.
Gordon Smith now 95, was at the 70th. Anniversary of VJ Day Commemorations in London on August 15th. 2015. Gordon from Swinton, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was a prisoner of war under the Japanese during the 1939-45 war. He actually witnessed the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Here in his own words, is what he and his fellow prisoners went through as he spoke to Councillor Ken Wyatt J.P. The video interview took place in Swinton Library on the 25th. of July 2002.
Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor tells his story
An extraordinary moment was to meet a Nagasaki citizen who has survived the atomic bomb explosion on August 9th in 1945 and is talking to tourists and visitors at the Atomic Bomb Peace Park in Urakami, Nagasaki, Japan.

Episode 16 - The Bombing Of Nagasaki
Three months after the surrender of Nazi Germany to Allied forces concluded World War II in Europe, fighting was still raging between the Allies and the Japanese Imperial government. Between mid-April and mid-July, 1945, Japanese forces inflicted half as many casualties as those suffered during the three previous years of fighting in the Pacific. With the capture of the Japanese Island of Okinawa, American forces were at the doorstep of the main island. With his military advisors cautioning Harry Truman that a conventional attack would result in over 1 million American casualties, the U.S. President faced one of the most difficult decisions in world history: risk millions of lives in a ground invasion or use the most powerful weapon ever developed against a civilian population.

The Horrible History of Hiroshima
For this trip I got a bus from Osaka to Hiroshima and stayed in Hiroshima for 2 nights. I explored the dome and the place where the atomic bomb detonated. It was an amazing day and was totally worth the journey. It was a good final city to see before I was on my way to leaving Japan for South Korea. I went to the museum and explored the city.

Journée d’étude 6 août 1945 : Hiroshima et Nagasaki : penser la catastrophe
Mardi 23 juin de 14h30 à 17h30
Le 6 août 1945, l’apocalypse touche la ville d’Hiroshima, jusque là épargnée ; trois jours plus tard, Nagasaki subit le même sort. Ces deux bombardements ne sont pas un banal exemple de la destruction d’une ville telle que l’histoire de l’humanité en connaît une liste infinie, de Babylone à Pompéi, de Constantinople à Bagdad, de Varsovie à Dresde...
Mais les 6 et 9 août marquent le passage à une nouvelle ère, celle de la destruction nucléaire.
La journée d’étude se propose d’aborder l’anéantissement d’Hiroshima sous un angle qui n’est pas simplement factuel ou historique mais aussi sociologique et philosophique : comment un tel événement marque-t-il, aujourd’hui encore, les habitants des deux villes, du Japon, mais aussi toute l’humanité. Elle se propose enfin d’examiner ces deux jours terribles au regard d’autres catastrophes humaines qui furent perçues comme un anéantissement.

Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project: The real thing! Splendedly A.I restored and colorized (1945)
This film shows original footage about the activities in the New Mexico dessert to develop an atomic weapon. It has been meticulously restored, enhanced and colorized to give a better view of what really went on at Los Alamos in 1945.
In brief: this was a secret project under the name the Manhattan project and was lead by physicist Julius Robert Oppenheimer under military supervision in the person of General Leslie Groves.
In order for hundreds of scientists to be as active and motivated as possible, an new small town was constructed in the dessert at Los Alamos, where they could live with their entire family.
Exerpt: The actual Trinity test took place at the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, about 200 km South of Los Alamos. This facility is now part of the White Sands Missile Range.
It is remarkable to note that Japan was bombed only 20 and 23 days after the one and only (successful) Trinity test conducted on 16 July 1945. At the time of that test there was hardly anymore nuclear material available. Astonishingly The Gun-type Little Boy bomb, that was dropped on Hiroshima, was deployed untested! This was done out of pure necessity in view of having run out of uranium.
The fat man bomb, that was dropped on Nagasaki, was of the same type as the one used during the Trinity test, i.e. an implosion-type bomb.
In view of the level of development of electronics in 1945, the electronic control of the bomb was an astonishing achievement. To need the bomb to work, 32 high explosive detonator modules, that were mounted around a solid plutonium core, needed to fire inwards at exactly the same time in order to compress the core. The shock wave needed to hit the fissionable core with a precision of microseconds.
Till this day Truman's decision to deploy nuclear weapons is highly controversial. Historians claim that one of the more important reasons to do so was to impress the Russians, who were also rumored of being in the process of developing a nuclear bomb.
Truman himself believed that deploying these bombs saved half a million American plus Japanese lives compared to a continued war on the ground. The question whether he, and others who, to this day, make similar statements were and are right is purely a matter for speculation. No factual conclusions can or should be drawn because their are simply too many scenario's and unknowns, just like nobody currently knows how the Russia Ukraine conflict will end.
Fact remains that the bombings caused tremendous loss of life.
In view of the fact that Truman called Oppenheimer a cry baby after Oppie told him that he has blood on his hands, plus the way Truman announced the bombing of Hiroshima with a smile on his face, and that many historians state that the war with Japan was already close to being over before both atomic bombs were dropped, makes one wonder why Truman is still on the 5th place in the list of best USA presidents.
Remarkably, his responsibility for putting over 220.000 people into their graves seems still to be hidden in the shadows of his achievements as regards his continuation and re-inforcement of Roosevelts New Deal, foreign policies and economic reform.
While constructing the bombs, it appears that Oppenheimer was less concerned about its potential military use.
Oppenheimer never publicly expressed regret for being the Father of the atomic bomb. However, in view of his conduct and critical statements towards how his bomb had been deployed it is clear that, especially in later years of life, he mentally struggled with remorse. He did openly question whether the use of the bombs on Japan were really necessary.
To end this film, I just want to share this thought. Considering that the comments under my video have shown that so many (young) viewers are out of touch with history and are gullible for strange conspiracy and other theories as well as propagate twisted facts, a legitimate question is to what extent films like Nolan's Oppenheimer contribute to even more misinterpreted and misunderstood historic facts.
Although extremely cleverly made and largely based on facts, Nolan has taken the liberty to dramatise and even alter and twist the representation of facts to suite Hollywood's agenda. For example the cry baby event did not happen as portrayed in the film but took place later in a different setting.
Also Oppenheimer would in reality never have approached Einstein to ask for an opinion about Teller's fear that the bomb might destroy the entire Earth because of an unhaltable continuation of the nuclear fission in the Earths atmosphere. In reality Oppenheimer discussed this with American physicist Karl Taylor Compton.
To what extent future generations will take Nolan's great film for fact is unpredictable, but nevertheless somewhat worrying. It keeps me wondering whether a film can be properly made both with historic correctness and highest entertainment value in mind.

HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMB MEMORIAL
HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMB MEMORIAL #OutThere Japan
I visited the Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum to learn more about the devastation caused by the dropping of the atomic bomb on August 6 1945.
There is some great information and also educational experiences about the dangers of nuclear weapons, and with obviously the headlines surrounded these days by the threat of nuclear war between North Korea and the United States, it’s something not to be missed on your trip to Japan.
I have chosen to not monetise this video so people know more about what has happened and why it should not be repeated.
Entry to the Museum is ¥200 and is open 7 days a week.

Hiroshima and the Bomb: They Have a Message to Share (Travel Japan)
No More Hiroshimas, they say. Indeed, the coastal Japanese city has a story to tell. After the devastation from nuclear warfare; perhaps, the 'appropriate' consequence of seeking regional/world domination, the city has built itself into a beautiful, and powerful city to visit. It has a clean, relaxed vibe (for Japan), and a message to the world. It ought to be heard, as the city of Hiroshima ought to be visited.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Genbaku Dome, Japan (Hiroshima Peace Memorial) 原爆ドーム
The famous Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima (Hiroshima Peace Memorial), Japan (Gembaku Domu in Japanese). This famous building is located next to the Aioi River in Hiroshima city. It was formerly the Industrial Promotion Hall. It is located near the Peace Museum. At night, the Atomic Bomb Dome building is illuminated in a green light.
Hiroshima's Atomic Bomb Genbaku Dome is also known as the A-Bomb Dome (or The Genbaku Dome in Japanese), and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The building serves as a solemn memorial to the people who were tragically killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly due to the bombing, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation. US president Harry Truman, made the difficult decision to authorise the atomic bombing of Japan during World War II. The Allied forces agreed to put an end to the Pacific War which was not ending - but rather costing many lives - civilian and military. At 8:15 am on 6 August 1945, Little Boy (the first atomic bomb to be used in any war) detonated almost directly above the dome (approximately 600 m above the dome). The Japanese city of Nagasaki was bombed three days later.
Apparently when the atomic bomb exploded, many people threw themselves into the nearby river to ease the pain - many did not survive.
原爆ドーム
Hiroshima will soon commemorate the 70th anniversary of the tragic Atomic devastation.
