    The bomb is NOT detonated above ground to better dissipate radioactive material better as stated early on. The explosion occurs above ground (between 500-1000ft) so a large shockwave can spread and bounce back up and spread again. This shockwave is what causes so much damage. If the bomb hit the ground, a lot of the energy would be absorbed into the earth and not spread in all directions so violently.

      If it also hits the ground it disperses more radioactive materials into the air. When detonated above ground the dispersal of radioactive materials isn’t as bad.

      Primary shock and reflected shock merge to form the "Mach stem" . You can also estimate the height of the detonation by measuring the angle of the burn shadow.

      They did not retain consciousness long enough to understand what was happening. Their bodies were turned into hot gas instantaneously.
      76 years ago, turning bodies into vapor - instantly - was state of the art. The modern versions are much more effective over an immensely larger range.
      If you have ever been in your car in the left turn lane, stopped, on a road where the speed limit is, say, 45mph or greater, you will feel your car pushed by the wind as cars on the road pass you. When the car travels past, a shock wave of compressed air is what pushes your car slightly. The car traveling at 45mph pushes against air molecules as it moves, and because your car is stopped, the compression - the shock wave - of air molecules 'hits' your car. Obviously it is not a huge affect but it is noticeable (and increases as the speed limit on the road is higher).
      What people don't realize is, these atomic weapons use the same effect - a shock wave using air molecules - that also creates a compression using the air molecules we normally consider essential.
      With lots of heat.
      An immensely heated region of air in a coherent shock wave that expands outward, in every direction, from the point of the explosion.

He said the first thing that hit you was the area of destruction and the smell. He said it smelt like brimstone and death. He also noted the shear amount of han and animal skeltons in and aroundbground zero. He said he has seen human bones before that were very verh old and these basically looked like them. He said alsi how bleached they were and stripped clean.he said it was like walkinv into a giant crematorium ovem. He said it was very sad and he said he never wanted to be part of such an event ever agin. He was upset at the time and some od the americans didn't want to be near him as they said the 'japs' got what they desereved. Which my grandfather did not agree with. He went back to his base and made his way back to australia. I hope the bomb never get used in war again either.

      Here's something to ponder. At the time of the bombing, there were 18,000 clay pot bombs stored for use by the citizens when Japan was invaded. The pot bombs were to be carried by the children into the advancing American forces and then exploded. And...more pot bombs were being made every day. If you think the citizens were victims, they were expected to participate in defending Japan. There were human mine bombs for both infantry defense and against ships where the human would place the bomb on the tank or boat and then explode it. They also had over 10,000 "special weapons" (kamikaze) planes to be used and were developing human-guided torpedoes. Now, you still think they're all victims?

      To all these negative comments on how these poor innocent people were treated...Read On! Truth is due to be told....
      The truth is, the Japanese people themselves, documented in many many cities and towns and villages all across Japan during the war... Fully supported, and indeed, cheered and saluted Japan after the vicious, disgusting and unprovocated attack on Pearl Harbour... Killing all those men and destroying all those families and all their friends of the murdered men women and children and sailors and other military of Pearl Harbour..
      And then, as the Japanese invaded through into Taiwan and southern China, the Japanese murdered over 1 million men women and children. Raped thousand of women and young girls and young boys. Tortured them and stole property and jewellery and plundered the regions they invaded.
      And during the WW2 battles in the south Pacific, the Japanese managed to murder many tens of thousands of American and allied soldiers on several islands... Prisoners the Japanese took were taken to camps where they were starved to death, horrifically beaten, drowned, disemboweled, decapitated, left in pits filled with water and filled with flesh eating crabs, left in pits with starving rats. Men were tied upside down and left to burn in the sun. Men were forced to work to death on jungle railroads and roads.. and the torture and electrocution of many men was also horrific and all these are facts. Proven real facts...
      And to end Japan's brutality exposing their campaign of terror... The use of bombs was administered. Just as Japan used large scale munitions against America and allied armies yet, none of these things above are ever mentioned but just that poor Japan was bombed..
      Yet these so called innocent People were simply caught with their britches down as they had no idea the war had come, or would ever reach them inside Japan... The people we were so cocky and fooled by tyrannical leaders they were certain of Japan's victory to take the South China seas and south Pacific to become a superpower.. and they cheered and clapped as Japan's leaders told them they would soon kill million's of Americans ... Mmm.. seems they would have done so if not stopped. And why do you think they were stopped?! Because they were fully capable of doing so if there was a weakness in the USA....

    Most people don't seem to know the radiation facts. The bomb left little radiation behind (intentionally) - it was the initial blast of radiation that was dangerous. The bomb exploded in mid-air, so it didn't irradiate hundreds of tons of dirt and dust (fallout) that would have happened had it exploded on the surface. The soldiers pointing out the effects likely lived long and cancer-free lives. We did massive studies of survivors of both cities after the war, and if the people 1-3 miles out who experienced the blast and didn't die in the first year of acute radiation poisoning, you had a pretty good chance of surviving to a natural death. There was something like a 10% greater chance of cancer for survivors. The cities are lived in right now; if they had been totally irradiated, they would still be very dangerous (and for the next several thousand years). Don't take my word for it - do some research.

    The invasion of the Japanese Home Islands would have been an absolute bloodbath for both sides. Additionally with the Soviet Union declaring war on Japan in 1945, Japan could have ended up a divided country like Korea or Germany.

    An increase in leukemia appeared about two years after the attacks and peaked around four to six years later. Children represent the population that was affected most severely. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation estimates the attributable risk of leukemia to be 46% for bomb victims. Regarding individuals who had been exposed to radiation before birth (in utero), studies, such as one led by E. Nakashima in 1994, have shown that exposure led to increases in small head size and mental disability, as well as impairment in physical growth. Persons exposed in utero were also found to have a lower increase in cancer rate than survivors who were children at the time of the attack.

    I returned yesterday from Japan, having visited Hiroshima. The city is beautiful and it's difficult to imagine now what destruction the atomic bomb caused. Its use in order to bring Japan to surrendering is maybe controversial and violence to other human and on any whatever scale is inexcusable, yet I found myself wondering whether in moral terms the use of physical force ultimately to prevent further human suffering is justifiable in terms of a lesser evil being expedient and excusable in order to bring greater evil and suffering being perpetrated. It still worries me.

      If you look at the atrocities committed by imperial Japan in and against the various people of Asia… it puts in perspective how horrible ww2 was and how evil some people were to purposefully cause so much insane human suffering.
      It’ll never be okay to nuke another person. However, Nazi germany and imperial Japan were some of the most brutal military campaigns in history. Extending that by invading Japan very well might have cause “more” human suffering than the nukes. Kind of like the firebombings the US did.

      I think it is difficult for us now to enter the mindset of the time. Truman himself barely knew of the bomb. It would have been an background effort he got a short briefing on here and there. Standing orders to use it had been issued from the time the Manhattan Project was commissioned. Truman's role was passive - simply not changing the order given by Roosevelt. Anyway, all to say, what was on the mind of the military personnel who actually planned and executed the bombing was preventing one more Marine Corps landing on Japanese territory. The losses had been horrendous. I think that in truth, the Russian entry into the war had much more to do with the surrender, and the bombs may have been quite trivial in their strategic purpose. At the time though, I think the intents of the leaders was reasonable. It's all tragic, but that's not itself an argument that the tragedy was unreasonable. Just my opinion.

    My grandmother was in Hiroshima that day.
    She was 7 years old. My grandmother and her siblings were living near the mountains in Hiroshima due to evacuation.
    In the morning of August 6 1945, she was eating breakfast with other kids. Suddenly she saw a very bright flash and after 5~7 seconds, a huge explosion and sound pushed up her stomach. The ceiling collapsed on top of them. My grandmother was so in shocked that she couldn't move. Her older sister and brother helped her get out of the collapsed building. When she got outside, the kids were crying. She saw a huge cloud coming from the city. It was a very hot day and the blue sky was clear without a single cloud. But when she got outside after the explosion, there were pink, white and gray colored clouds moving towards them in the clear blue sky. They looked like cotton candies, she said. Since the building has collapsed, everyone was walking outside. They returned back to the building when the black colored rain dropped from the clouds.
    In the beginning of September 1945, my grandmother suddenly wasn't able to get out of her futon bed, so her mother helped her get out and made her sit down to have breakfast. But my grandmother wasn't able to sit still and collapsed on the floor. She felt super tired and her face, hands and feet were swollen. Every part of her body ached and she couldn't move at all. She missed the whole semester of the elementary school. The doctor came to see my grandmother and told her parents that she would soon die. There was lack of medical supply so he couldn't do anything. One of her neighbor was so worried that he gave her figs every morning. Gradually she became better and started to go to school again in January 1946.
    Their family moved to the center of Hiroshima in 1946. She went to Fukuro-machi elementary school. More than half of her friends at that school lost at least one of their parents from the war. It was normal at that time and nobody thought it was strange. After school she and her friends played in the Hiroshima city center. She saw the black shadow of the person who was sitting on the stairs when the atomic bomb blasted. She also used to play in the Atomic bomb dome (Genbaku dome) with her friends. The dome was piled up with rubble. She was surprised when she saw a postcard with the picture of the atomic dome later because it was where she always played with her friends after school.
