Yamaguchi must be the only person who had two nuclear bombs dropped on them. Plus he survived both. Amazing.

[@MrSteve280]

Japan officially recognizes two dual survivors but there were at least six people that are known survived both bombings and almost one hundred "affected" by both bombings. Survivors were ostracized and shunned, particularly women, so they were not inclined to come forward. There is still a great stigma in Japan regarding this.

[@chrisssed]

I would rather die immediately without even knowing than to survive this

[@mchlsull]

It's crazy to see the shadows on the walls and concrete. Just to think - those people did not even know they died. One moment they were jumping rope, the next they are a shadow that will live on in our memories even 77 years later. To be honest, that is probably the best way to go.

[@axle.australian.patriot]

Growing up through the cold war and the drills I often asked my self what I would do if I realized what was about to happen just before that moment. I have lived that moment many times in my mind, but obviously nothing compared to the real thing. Forward to 2023 and the current state of the world, I again relive the different moments in my mind. The strange thing is that I am not afraid of it any more.

@@axle.australian.patriot I turned 70 last month and was terrified through most of my childhood that there was going to be a nuclear war bringing all my childhood fears true. Like you I am no longer afraid of death, just in the manner that it may come. I found my father dead in his bed one morning, he was late for breakfast so I went to get him up. He just looked a little surprised. He had heart problem but made it to 78. I want to go like that, with that look of surprise as if to say "Oh it's time is it."

[@WyFoster]

The bomb was also detonated 2,000 ft above the ground. This reduced the nuclear fall out but increased the lethality of the bomb over a wider area. Ground zero was just directly under the bomb.

[@totorosghost]

Had they hit ground, these places would be nuclear wastelands. How much damage would be caused by exploding the bombs above ground was not entirely clear. Also consider had japan been more successful with their fu go balloon attacks, more would have died initially from incendiary bombs and later from plague and other pathogens. Japan was actively trying and planning to kill American citizens. It's shameful most Americans don't know this happened. Japans bioweapon and human vivisection experiments in China are also woefully under reported.

[@dysfunctional_vet]

i have read extensively about the nuclear bombing and while you hint at it, the real damage in the moment of detonation was the heat, which as you point out burned people out of existence in microseconds. in one report, a box with a nail hole, 12 miles distant, acted as a lense and burned a hole in the far side of the wooden box, which speaks to the heat of the radiant energy. also, what saved so many, was that the ground was hilly, breaking up the blast wave. to the radiation, i'm not sure how long that is going to last. in war, people suffer . i had once a jacket i wore during my active duty time that said war is not healthy for children or other living things. truth is, we know more about killing than we do about living in peace. pax

[@ellerj641]

I remember watching another documentary on this and there was a similar story of two girls at a bank. I can't remember why they were there, but one of the girls who survived said that suddenly she was thrown into the walls and ceiling of the bank. When she came to, it was absolute disaster. She worked quickly to find her friend which she eventually did. Her friend, at the time, was still alive. She helped her up and they went outside but collapsed. Neither of them knew that her friend's back was broken. They sat outside waiting for help but her friend died from her injuries before the girl's father found them. There were other stories in this documentary, but I will mention one more that still haunts me. There was a family on the outskirts/outside of the city and the woman had just sat down at the table for breakfast with her husband, son, and daughter. Suddenly everything was gone. She woke up to see her house a pile of rubble and no matter how hard she searched, she could not find her husband and son. She found her daughter, but her daughter was trapped under beams and rubble. She frantically tried to get her daughter out as a fire started and began spreading. But no matter how desperate she was, she could not get her daughter out. She had to watch her daughter burn alive, screaming that it hurt and for mommy to save her. It was just horrific listening to this story.

[@LIBERTYSINCURSION]

[@Itried20takennames]

True, but the atomic bombs were indeed the lesser evil. Part of the calculation was to apply the horrendous civilian casualties of taking Okinawa across the whole of Japan if a full scale invasion was needed, where primarily the Japanese troops forced civilians into attacks or high risk jobs, even high school girls and young boys, The Japanese troops also encouraged family suicides when it looked like the US would win, with Japanese Americans interpreters using loudspeakers to try to talk mothers holding babies and toddlers from jumping off cliffs, but many did so if the US troops couldn’t reach them (and there is film evidence of this and its aftermath). There is an interview from a woman whose family was given a grenade by their own troops to kill themselves, being told they would be tortured to death by American troops if caught, but she survived with shrapnel wounds. The first US troops gave her some bandages and water and pantomimed they had to move on, then the second took her to field hospital for treatment and fed her….which shocked her after the extreme war rations. But the treatment only made her realize her parents and sibling died for nothing. There also would have been many civilian deaths from starvation had the war dragged on, and it took millions of US food aid to prevent further famine in Japan at the end of the war…..which would not have been there had the Japanese government still been in power.

Presumably for your situation, I've learned that people like you ignorant of any time of long-term pain suffering; having not experience a traumatic situation, can never truly understand the burden of primal fear and of any type. Why its conventional and easy for people like this to make callous, ignorant and unintelligent remarks pertaining to any person's or other life's plight of a peril-suffering experiences. So, I hope you don't get your wish in wanting to know it. I've had cancer twice and being around a lot of people living in a loge with tumors and a really nice man whose cancer is terminal made me truly have a lot of respect for life, be it human or any other living being as well as loving this planet and caring for anyone who has experienced a disease, or trauma-took a lot for me to talk about my cancer, and even bringing it up. It was a lot and words fail on how tormenting the treats where for a couple of years. As well as the bills and my and parents' emotions and trying to kill the disease. So be careful of your words and I've seen enough karma educed on people. I'm not religious but spiritual and respect the cosmos and what force people keep presuming to know in religion where. War is wrong no matter what side started it because people end up suffering and human beings have been at war since the stone age. I realized we are creatures of habits, good or evil. Evil is real and watching a lot of SICK videos of Physico paths, pedo and serial killers, be it eight-year-olds or adults, people our species can be so abnormally cruel and mentally ill and just gone. I hate watching these videos but knowing can always give you a window others reality in order to connect and better understand ourselves and those around us. Humans are meant to connect. That's the best of us where clearly, a lot of people, including yourself have yet to truly know how too and can say nature though cruel is a hell of an amazing, unfiltered teacher since human laws are not as true and just.

Most were angry and belligerent towards the US in that it was actively helping the Chinese people protect their nation. Unlike ancient war when armies met on remote battle fields, modern war is hell. It takes the lives of women and children because the industry of war makes it's home in the population centers.

its not a matter of justification at all., conflict has little to do with justice just like shock & aww has little to do with being fair... this simply isn't a single answer question.,.. this is a set of events , not just a couple of baddabooms ... body count wasn't the only consideration.,. it was a no prisoners game to them unlike the germans... and At the end of the wars Japanese soldiers at prisoner of war camps were told to behead, stab or shoot the 100,000 or so remaining Allied prisoners the moment an invasion began, they also told civilians to commit suicide, which many did..

Concerning the question possessed by the author of this video, would fewer people perished had the atomic bomb not be used in the closing chapter of WW2? An answer to this question will always be, at best, speculative. Remember, the times were quite different from today. Most people is this generation were tired of this terrible global war. I remembered so well how my parents who were of European descent never wanted to speak of this time as they had witness so much pain and suffering back then. In defense of my parent's and their generation, I don't think most people back then really knew just how destructive this bomb really was and all the horrible side effective as we now know so well today. Maybe, the better question here should be; have we grown any wiser never to use this terrible weapon again on humanity? Deep in my heart, I truly hope so!

[@dalmo001]

just remember that prior to the 2 bombs going off, America had been firebombing the cities of Japan for at least 4 or 5 months using napalm and incendiary rounds. It was only due to the Japanese resiliance and the fact that the Amercians wanted to "try out" their new bombs that the two cities were targeted. In a way it's fortunate that only ~1M lives were effected physcially from the blasts, as just as it was stated in the vid, had a drawn out war happened millions more could have been effected on both sides.

You're literally trying to rewrite history. Japan was given the chance to surrender prior to the bombs being dropped. They refused. They refused to surrender even after the first bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. The Japanese government just sat while its people suffered. Thank whatever powers be that the demon core was never dropped on Japan. Because the third bomb that was planned made the first 2 look like kittens. And let's not negate that the US had stayed out of this war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and slaughtered 2,403 innocent people. I'm not condoning what wa done to Japan or to the Japanese people who lived in the US. But let's not rewrite history like the US was just having a pissing contest with the world

[@omggiiirl2077]

It's sad that this happened, and i have mixed feelings as I have relatives on four sides of this issue. So first my Mom is Korean, and at the time of the bombing, the Japanese oppressed koeea as a colony and treated Korean people like shit. So I don't see japanese as innocent as everyone else does, because they treated the people they invaded like they were wirse than feces. On another hand my great grand uncle, to be able to secure a future for his family left Korea and became a Japanese citizen, so he's a zainichi, and they were treated very badly, and had to hide their Korean origin during that time, but at the same time, they were terrified when the bombs dropped, even from Tokyo where they lived, so they fles to thier home in Kyoto, i learned this from my Aunty. But as a person of native Hawaiian ancestry, I feel aa if the USA didnt drop those bombs there would have been no stopping the Japanese from taking over Hawai'i and I don't know how they would have treated those of us who are indigenous to Hawai'i. The USA has only caused harm to our home, and treated us as if we don't matter, turning our homeland into an ecological disaster, but i don't know if the Japanese would have done any better. Nut as a Black American don't feel either way. As human life was lost, and its sad, but so many more would have been lost if the USA would have chosen a different route. I have all these mixed feelings, and perspectives as someone who is mixed or has connections to these different cultures. I just wish that the powers that be of today would get rid of these weapons! They don't just destroy, they poison the land and make it uninhabitable for centuries!

[@uschurch]

US' record on Hawai'i is shitty. From a European perspective I'm glad USA ultimately stepped in an defeated fascism on both sides of the globe. No one else could have done it and the bombs on Japan were justified. The imperial army butchered its way across China and SE Asia, leaving 12m people dead. Many of whom were women and forced labor. Most of them killed with shovels and bayonets. Losing on every front in the summer of 1945 Jp was unwilling to surrender unconditionally, as Germany had to as well.

[@stevesmith4051]

Millions fewer died because of the two atomic bombs which were dropped on Japan because Japan started a war against a nation with the resources and capabilities to end a war that they didn't start in the first place. My own aunt by marriage was a Nagasaki survivor. Her family never blamed the United States for resorting to the atomic bombings.

[@derkevevin]

I wouldn't be so sure. Look at some of the military tests: You can see the steel ropes that hold the bomb in place being vaporized in a tiny fraction of a second, from the extreme burst of gamma radiation. Even metal basically just turns into gas/plasma at the center of the explosion. Edit: Though I would add that at that distance, there probably wouldn't be a wall left either, so the "shadows" were likely all further away.

[@williesnyder2899]

When one was much more than “warranted,” but further (LIVE!) experimentation was desired, a second bomb was dropped… A third bomb (named??) was planned for bombardment, but was not used, saving further deaths of infants, children, teachers, grandparents and other non-combatants. Paul Tibbetts the completely remorseless and unapologetic American pilot who dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, named his plane in honor of his mother. Can you imagine Mrs. Tibbetts, in the days, weeks, months and more following that ushering in of atomic warfare, proudly proclaiming, “That’s My Boy!!” as if he’d hit a home run to win a big…game…or found an actual cure (Not Cause!) for cancer . . . ?? Paul Tibbetts could’ve been pictured on a WHEATIES cold cereal box. He could have endorsed chewing gum, cigarettes, automobile tires, and even…life insurance. Cynical I am, but tiny children died of dehydration, their skin hanging as shredded sheets . . . I am alive, speaking… They are dead and without voice.
