Immediate Aftermath: The Atomic Bomb

Everything close to ground zero gets completely vaporized and destroys and burns everything. It also exerts extreme amount of radiation. At high doses radiation kills cells, damages organs, or gives a rapid death. Do you really want to be the one responsible for this? For this vital reasons nuclear bombs should be banned in every place.

There were 2 atomic bomb that was dropped in the World War II. The 2 atomic bombs is called The Fat Man and The Little Boy. Little boy was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. An American B-29 (a type of plane) called the "Enola Gay" was piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, dropped a uranium atomic bomb that is called The Little Boy, the bomber dropped the world’s first atomic bomb with its name Little Boy on Hiroshima, Hiroshima was Japan's seventh largest city. In minutes, half of the city was destroyed.

The bombing of Hiroshima was a direct outcome of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Pearl Harbor killed 23,000 Americans. The bombing of Hiroshima killed 150,000 japanese citizens and ruined 90,000 structures, and left a stain in Hiroshima’s history. There were not many survivors In the bombing of Hiroshima, but there were two who came out and talked about what happened in their eyes. They also talked about how it truly affected their lives. The bombing on Hiroshima eventually lead to Japan deciding to surrender to the United States in WW11.

The morning of Tuesday September 11, 2011 is one of the biggest tradgies of all time. On this specific day four airlines were hijacked by an Islamic group that goes by the name al-Qaeda. The attacks took the lives of 2,996 innocent people, injured nearly 6,000 people, and caused at least $10 billion in infracture and property damage. These attacks, also known as the 9/11 attacks, will forever be remebered as one of the most horrific days for so many people around this world.

the bomb’s code name was “Little Boy”. Three days later, on August 9th, 1945, America dropped another bomb on Nagasaki with the code name “Fat Man”. As many as 200,000 deaths were caused by “Little Boy” alone and many people would die of radiation for years to come. The dropping of the Atom bomb on Hiroshima is an extremely debatable issue with no right or wrong answer. In this essay I will describe both sides to the argument then conclude using my final opinion on whether I am for or against the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima.

This paper seeks to answer the question: What were the causes of the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their effects on Japan’s economy? INTRODUCTION On August 6th, 1945, an B-29 aircraft dropped the very first nuclear bomb over the city of Hiroshima. 90 percent of the

Everyone who jumped, mainly from the 9th and 10th floors, were killed. This was the highest death toll for any fire I've ever heard a factory having, 25 workers died in the Newark factory fire. After that fire I knew that another fire was going to come up as fire safety was not the main concern in New York factories. There was only way to escape as the elevator was engulfed in flames almost immediately after the fire started and the fire escape was poorly designed and even started collapsing as the fire raged on. the only other means of escaping was

Many were left homeless. The debate over whether it was a successful event still remains contestable today. This horrid attack changed Japan as the US accelerated Japan to surrender after the seconding bombing and left Japan filled with a massive cloud of radiation. As a result of the radiation in Japan people would still die and suffer many decades after the attack. This event is solemnly remembered as a legacy for all the lives lost and still to this day the bombing still has a great toll on the world.

In fact, a mushroom cloud reaching 13, 716 meters and a 3.2 kilometer long firestorm appeared. The effects of the blast were absolutely terrifying. Above 60, 000 of Hiroshima’s 90, 000 buildings were completely destroyed, all objects made from metal, clay and stone melted, and many faced severe health problems from exposure to high levels of radiation. In terms of deaths, approximately 70, 000 people were killed instantly from the explosion, and just as many died five years later. In summary, the city was left in little more than ashes, with two-thirds of it destroyed.

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones." (Albert Einstein) Outline Introduction: Nuclear bomb Main body: World War II NPT, IAEA Peaceful purpose Trust deficit USA North Korea Indo-Pak Conclusion: __________________________________________ "A twenty megaton nuclear bomb would create a fireball 11/2 miles in diameter, with a temperature of 20 million to 30 million Fahrenheit, all living things would be vaporized within a radius of ground zero. 6 miles from this point all human beings would be instantly killed by a huge silent heat flash travelling at a speed of light.

This was the first nuclear bomb ever deployed. This horrific explosion killed 90% of Hiroshima’s population, combining the 80,000 of whom the bomb killed immediately, and those who later died of radiation exposure. Three days later, another bomb was dropped Nagasaki, which killed another 40,000. These brutal attacks on the Japanese ended with the Japanese surrender in WWII. America became the first to use an atomic weapon during

Japanese time Little Boy was dropped. The bomb almost exactly hit it’s mark. It was more than 9,000 pounds and uranium 325. The bomb exploded 2,000 feet above Hiroshima. The blast equaled to 15,000 tons of TNT.

The Dropping of the Atomic Bomb. On the 6th August 1945 at approximately 8:15am, a US bomber plane dropped the first atomic bomb on the city of Hirsoshima in Japan which instantly killed 80 000 people. The bomb was named ‘Little Boy’ and was a uranium gun-type atomic bomb which weighed 5 tons. Three days later another bomb was dropped, on the city of Nagosaki, which was a plutonium implosion-type bomb named ‘Fat Man’ and it killed 40 000 people instantly.

The fire and explosions lasted for two days and were felt as far away as Newark. More than 30 million pounds of explosives were set off, damaging many houses and killing as many as 87 people. Damage was estimated at $18 million. An article in the New York Tribune described the destruction: “Besides the heavier blasts, caused by entire buildings exploding, there was the additional horror of shellfire. Hundreds of loaded shells were set off by the flames and soared through the air like monster rockets, exploding in the streets and over the roofs.

Estimates state that flash burns (burns from the flash of the explosion) caused 15-20% of all atomic bomb deaths. Most luridly, one Japanese patient was flash burned from about 6.500 feet away from the explosion. Armed with this information, dropping the atomic bomb seems like a horrible decision. However, President Truman, his staffers, and the scientific community had no idea that deaths would ensue from flash and radiation burns.
