Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
What happened in Japan when the atomic bombs exploded!?
In: World War 2, Japan in WW2



Answer

Well, my teacher told me he saw a tape which shows what happened to Japan after the atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima!. The tape shows the japanese melting and fuse with the road, leaving only a black patch!. This happened due to the radiation the bomb gave out!.

Answer

Can your teacher explain why the film didn't melt if it shows people melting!? And if it was taken AFTER the blast, is he sure those black patches were PEOPLE and not car tires!?

Answer

The bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT!. It had more than 2,000 times the blast power of the British Grand Slam, which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warefare!.

ATOMIC SHADOW - In a few seconds after an atomic bomb goes off the area around it is bathed in intense heat rays streaming out from the detonation point!. Temps of objects hit by the rays can climb to 1,000 degrees or more!. This causes wood to char to black while old, dirty concrete can be "bleached" white!. If any object blocks the heat rays for those few seconds a portion of the surface is spared and does not change color leaving a "shadow!."

If a person is a mile from ground zero at a nuclear blast there is no sound or shock wave for a few seconds!. Just blinding light and incredible heat which arrives at the speed of light!. Traveling at the speed of sound the shock wave hits after about 5 seconds!.

Sadly, in the case of Hiroshima some of the shadows left are in the shape of people!. A man's shadow is burned into the surface of a concrete footbridge while a woman's shadow shows where she was sitting on the step of the local bank!. In both cases the people were killed having been vaporized by the heat and the subsequent shock wave that arrived a few seconds later!.

Michihiko Hachiya wrote: 100's of people were trying to escape to the hills passed our house!. The sight of them was almost unbearable!. Their faces and hands were burnt and swollen and great sheets of skin had peeled away from their tissues to hang down like rags on a scarecrow!. They moved like a line of ants!. All through the night they went past our house, but this morning they stopped!. I foound them lying so thick on both sides of the road that it was impossible to pass without stepping on them!.

One Hiroshima survivor described the death of her daughter from radiation sickness: "She had no burns and only minor external wounds!. She was quite alright until the next day when her hair began to fall out, she had blisters and her skin which began to peel and she vomited up clumps of blood!. No one knew what it was, not even the doctors!. We were all afraid of it!. After 10 days of agony and torture, she died on September 14th!."

It is incredible that there were any survivors and the world was awe struck at the devastation that this bomb had caused!. What was more awesome was how quickly the Japanese people of Hiroshima and Nagisaki pulled together and began to rebuild!. Even more heartbreaking and leaving most of us in wonderment is the fact that most Japanese people have forgiven those that have done this!. My mind and heart cannot fathom this!.
