- During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the first on August 6, 1945 and the second on August 9, 1945. These two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.
For six months before the atomic bombings, the United States intensely fire-bombed 67 Japanese cities. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945. The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum. By executive order of President Harry S. Truman, the U.S. dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed by the detonation of "Fat Man" over Nagasaki on August 9.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000--166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000--80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefectural health department estimates that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15--20% died from radiation sickness, 20--30% from flash burns, and 50--60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians.

whoever built those bridges was ready
Those builders should have warned them
Even today it's still pretty amazing that it took only one single bomb to level and destroy that whole area of Hiroshima, but the weird thing is that the damage done to Hiroshima and Nagasaki is nothing compared to the kind of damage that today's nuclear weapons can cause. hell today's nukes are so powerful that they can make what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like a metaphorical picnic.
They say the handful of buildings that survived the blasts were ones that were made to be earthquake resistant. Usually constructed of reinforced concrete, and other sturdy materials.
Absolutely horrifying
Fascinating, and very sad.
im honestly shocked at how spotless those streets were left after an atomic blast
The streets vaporized.
@@OneVoiceMore The streets did not vaporize and the entire area depicted was filled with several feet of rubble. You can watch actual footage of the aftermath and it shows the big building with the dome top filmed by army soldiers walking among the rubble. All the bridge’s including the bridge that was the target for the bomb where still standing and looked relatively undamaged. The bomb had the power to vaporize concrete if it wasn’t detonated 5000 meters above the surface and was instead detonated on the target.
@@williambrandondavis6897 I should've said glassified. Sue me, pedant.
Even after cleanup, they were smoother than before detonation.
Don't use apostrophes to pluralize.
Background music come on man..??
Google Unit 731.........
Amazing was able put every little house there.
But think all those hundreds of people suddenly disappeared in a second and thousands died a slowly painful dead is terrible.
We can really hurt each other. Really sad

great job!
where is this
That's terrifying
I don't think it's funny at all
I know the war had to be stopped but couldn't it be in other ways
No, was a lesson learned to all enemy's including japan. You done gone and fucked with the wrong country.
At the cost of how many lives, would you be will to give your son or daughters life to invade japan ? Not me.
The bombs saved millions of lives in contrast even the Russians were very grateful for this solution
Japan was death first before reason
Japanese industry was very decentralized and handled by every civilian contributing. you really couldnt attack their war industry without attacking civilians. If it werent nukes it would have been firebombing and invasion which would have been more suffering over a larger scale and longer drawn out time period.
the lesson we've learned, "paper burns.Don't build houses out of paper and card board" when you're at war
Maybe thats why only 5 or 6 buildings are left
Il y avait une ville...et il n'y a plus rien...(Nougaro)
looks so real.
Whenever I see a documentary concerning hiroshima or nagasaki I think of PEARL HARBOR.
Add Unit 731 and Nanjing massacre to that list...
What anime is this?
foxstorm gine no foot
Fallout: rising sun
Boku no pico
Tragic
this is the mueseum !
When you sneak-attack a sleeping Giant , the results can be monstrous !
why some structures survived i mean didn't completely vanished
Because they were made out of concrete and not out of some wood and cardboard. Concrete is a more stable and stronger material that can partly survive a atomic bomb. Every shelter or vault would be build out of thick concrete, so it can stand the power of a big explosion.
The concrete buildings were designed to withstand earthquakes
You know, the actual size of the area destroyed is actually not that large, if those maps are to be believed. You could walk one end to the other in 9-10 minutes.
Roy Piper The city was larger than what's shown on the video. The T Bridge was the aiming point for the bomb. On this video it shows the bridge at the top near the window. There was more of the city that was north of the T Bridge. In Hiroshima everything in a 3 mile radius was destroyed or burned to the ground.
So what should have been done for retaliation for pearl harbor?
Jonathan Feltham why didn't they stop after that? They werent they were going to keep pushing the issue. USA got tired of their bullshit and put a stop to it. So the Chinese gov cared a lot less about their people than the US armed forces.
You mean why the Japanese did not stop after that? Well, long before the A-bomb were launched the Japanese wanted to negociate redition.. passing by the Russian to negociate with the US, but the US ignored it.. ( The Japanese were ok to surrender but if the emperor could stay emperor of Japan..) The US refused.. but guess what? After the A bomb the US have accepted the condition.. The Emperor would stay on his throne...
The only reason they have used the A bomb was to prepare the after war.. showing the power of the US military to the Russian who would become the US "enemy" during the cold war directly after WW2...
Jonathan Feltham so USA got china out the way just in case a 3rd world war started and Russia and China would of been at full capacity. Obviously Russia couldn't and wouldn't want to go one on one with Murica. So it was needed to put China down and let other commies know don't fuck with USA
@@cainpoe you seem like patriotic pos who will excuse anything, you compare an attack on an army base with a mass murder of civilian.
@@mat5637 The japanese committed MURDER, premeditated at that, when they attacked Pearl Harbor a full 55 minutes BEFORE they officially declared war on the U.S.(to explain to the OBTUSE like you it was SNEAK attack). The japanese civilian population SUPPORTED emperor hirohito in going to war with the U.S. In supporting hirohito they made themselves LEGITMENT MILITARY TARGETS. BTW it wasn't an army base but a naval base that was attacked. Before you comment on historical events you need study the event BEFORE you make a comment like you made that makes you look like a F00L, F00L.
Never again ....
Who wore it better?
Hiroshima or Nagasaki?
😎
If only Japan's treachery, brutality and intransigence hadn't made this necessary, eh?
Call it Nanking Karma.
We're all just prince Araujo
WOW

Russia made better ones and without help
@@denizcan170 Shut up kid.

LOL!
Bull where all the telephone poles

No such thing as an atomic bomb.
