Hiroshima

Hiroshima (広島市, Hiroshima-shi) ( listen ) is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, and the largest city in the Chūgoku region of western Honshu, the largest island of Japan. The city's name, 広島, means "Wide Island" in Japanese. Hiroshima gained city status on April 1, 1889. On April 1, 1980, Hiroshima became a designated city. As of 2006, the city had an estimated population of 1,154,391. Kazumi Matsui has been the city's mayor since April 2011.

Hiroshima is best known as the first city in history to be targeted by a nuclear weapon when the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped an atomic bomb on the city at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, near the end of World War II.

History

Sengoku period (1589–1871)

Hiroshima was established on the river delta coastline of the Seto Inland Sea in 1589 by the powerful warlord Mōri Terumoto, who made it his capital after leaving Kōriyama Castle in Aki Province.Hiroshima Castle was quickly built, and in 1593 Terumoto moved in. Terumoto was on the losing side at the Battle of Sekigahara. The winner of the battle, Tokugawa Ieyasu, deprived Mori Terumoto of most of his fiefs including Hiroshima and gave Aki Province to Masanori Fukushima, a daimyo who had supported Tokugawa.

Nuclear weapon

A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion (thermonuclear weapon). Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT (see Trinity (nuclear test)). The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.

A thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million tonnes) of TNT. A nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire, and radiation. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control have been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut.

The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions. The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km²) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the United States are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.

1945

1945 (MCMXLV) was a common year starting on Monday (dominical letter G) of the Gregorian calendar, the 1945th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 945th year of the 2nd millennium, the 45th year of the 20th century, and the 6th year of the 1940s decade.

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The United States, with the consent of the United Kingdom as laid down in the Quebec Agreement, dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, during the final stage of World War II. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.

In the final year of the war, the Allies prepared for what was anticipated to be a very costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. This was preceded by a U.S. firebombing campaign that obliterated many Japanese cities. The war in Europe had concluded when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May 8, 1945. The Japanese, facing the same fate, refused to accept the Allies' demands for unconditional surrender and the Pacific War continued. Together with the United Kingdom and China, the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945—the alternative being "prompt and utter destruction". The Japanese response to this ultimatum was to ignore it.

Rare footage show the nightmare aftermath of Hiroshima after atomic bomb killed 140,000 people
Rare footage show the nightmare aftermath of Hiroshima after atomic bomb killed 140,000 people Haunting images have been released showing the immediate aftermath of the American atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima 70 years ago today. Horrifically injured locals are pictured wandering along flattened streets strewn with corpses in the western Japanese city only hours after the nuclear bomb, nicknamed 'Little Boy', was dropped. Radiation in the city was so intense that everybody pictured in the chilling images would have died of exposure poisoning in the weeks, months and years that followed the August 6, 1945 attack. As Japan today commemorates the loss of 140,000 people killed in the initial blast, as well the countless numbers who died later, the incredibly rare images have now gone on display together for the first time at Scotland's Secret Bunker museum in a small town in Fife.

It should be more on the left side of Kyushu island. (thanks longtlam!) Right now, is the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. They are the first and only instances in history of nuclear weapons being used in warfare. 1) Godzilla Godzilla or Gojira, the giant Japanese dinosaur-looking monster, a worldwide pop culture icon; who’s been in numerous movies. Why am I mentioning this? Well, Godzilla owes its existence to the atomic bombs. In the aftermath, with the devastation still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was created as a metaphor for nuclear weapons and their destructive capabilities. 2) The Korean Casualties An enormous number of Koreans also perished in the blast. In fact, around 25% of casualties were Koreans. Korea was under Japanese rule at the time so there were many drafted or conscripted Koreans in Hiroshima & Nagasaki. It’s unfortunate that the Korean victims of this tragedy have often been neglected. 3) Close Call Kyoto Today’s Kyoto landscape would have been greatly altered, and not for the better, if the Americans had gone about their original plan. The targets were in fact supposed to be Hiroshima & Kyoto. However, the US Secretary of War at the time, Henry L Stimson, insisted on sparing the so called City of Ten Thousand Shrines. 4) The Pamphlet Warnings Just prior to dropping the Atomic bombs, the US Airforce released pamphlets or leaflets from their planes warning Japanese citizens of the impending destruction. They were largely ineffective. 5) The Little Boy & The Fat Man These were the American codenames of the two atomic bombs. 6) The American Casualties 12 American airmen were captured, then taken to the Chugoku Military Police Headquarters in Hiroshima, where the American weapon of mass destruction indiscriminately took them out. 7) Go An important Go tournament was held in the suburbs of Hiroshima, about 5 km from ground zero; and on August 6th 1945, a pivotal match up was ongoing between champion Hashimoto and the challenger Iwamoto. When the atomic bomb went off, people were injured, buildings were damaged, and the game came to an immediate halt. Fortunately no one died as tournament officials had earlier moved the game away from the blast radius after coming across the American pamphlets. The players took this opportunity to have a quick lunch break. Afterwards on the same day, they finished the game. White won. 8) Operation Meetinghouse As devastating as the atomic bombs were, it didn’t even rank as the most destructive bombing event of WW2. That title goes to the deathly firebombing of Tokyo by the US Air Force, also known as Operation Meetinghouse. This was estimated to be the single most destructive bombing attack not just in Japan, but in history. 9) The Flame Of Peace The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was built in dedication to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack. In the park, sits The Flame of Peace which has burned continuously since 1964, and will remain lit until all nuclear weapons are removed from the world and the planet is free from nuclear threat. 10) The Improbable Survivor Tsutomu Yamaguchi worked for the Mitsubishi company, and on August 6th, 1945, he was away from home on a business trip in Hiroshima. He witnessed the Little Boy dropping from the sky and the explosion ruptured his eardrums, blinded him, and left him with serious burns. But he was alive. The very next day, he dragged his body to a station, made his way out of Hiroshima and back to his hometown. At home, he finally received treatment for his wounds. Two days later, despite being seriously injured and heavily bandaged, he informed Mitsubishi that he was back from his Hiroshima business trip and ready to report to work. So, he went to work, as if nothing major had happened. Yamaguchi was lucky to have survived the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb. However, he was unlucky that he went back home.. ..to Nagasaki..

UPDATE - Please consider the following: One Government's actions cannot be the fault of future humans and leaders. See the article here : http://withmean.in/xUVdVX 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. Will the world be exposed to more deadly nuclear weapons in the future? you decide... Video footage taken in Hiroshima in March 1946 showing victims with severe burns According to the U.S. Department of Energy the immediate effects of the blast killed approximately 70,000 people in Hiroshima Some estimates state up to 200,000 had died by 1950, due to cancer and other long-term effects. Reports from 1950 to 2000 show that 46% of leukemia deaths and 11% of solid cancer deaths among bomb survivors were due to radiation from the bombs, the statistical excess being estimated to 94 leukemia and 848 solid cancers.

USA: MAN WHO DROPPED ATOMIC BOMB ON HIROSHIMA DIES

USA: MAN WHO DROPPED ATOMIC BOMB ON HIROSHIMA DIES

USA: MAN WHO DROPPED ATOMIC BOMB ON HIROSHIMA DIES
English/Nat The bombardier who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima that ended the World War Two has died in Florida. Thomas Wilson Ferebee was part of the crew of the B-29 bomber that carried the first nuclear weapon ever deployed. Ferebee, who said he never felt guilty for his actions, retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1970. The bombardier who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in World War Two has died in Florida. Thomas Wilson Ferebee was 81. Ferebee was a 26-year-old major, and a veteran of 64 Missions, when he took off in the B-29 "Enola Gay" on August 6, 1945, to bomb Hiroshima with the first nuclear weapon ever deployed. Ferebee, who retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1970, said he never felt guilty, but was sorry the bomb killed so many. In 1995, on the 50th anniversary of the bombing, he said he hated to think something like that had to happen to end the war. Ferebee's death leaves only four surviving members of the Enola Gay's crew, including the pilot, retired Brigadier General Paul Tibbets. One woman who cannot forget the devastation of the atomic bomb is Hideko Tamura. She was just a child of ten when the bomb was dropped on her city of Hiroshima. Tamura recalls the earth shattering power of the bomb. August 6th became known as the day of the two suns, for the bright fireball that engulfed the city. Hideko Tamura's mother was killed in the blast. The loss nearly drove Hideko to the brink of suicide - as she described in August 1995. SOUNDBITE: (English) "There were many, many moments when I felt so confused, so grieved that I at one point lost interest to continue living in that fashion" SUPER CAPTION: Hideko Tamura, Hiroshima Survivor Instead, Tamura eventually ended up here, at the University of Chicago. Ironically, this is the home of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. A plaque commemorates the science that led to the bomb that destroyed her city.

10 Worst Nuclear Disasters in History

10 Worst Nuclear Disasters in History
The world's biggest & most powerful nuclear disasters of all time! Nothing compares to these nuclear accidents that devastated places like Fukushima, Chernobyl, & Windscale. Today's video was done in collaboration with World 5 List! Check out their video on “The Most Radioactive Sites in the World” by clicking here: https://youtu.be/tsy8ZehWcYI And don't forget to subscribe to their channel by clicking here: https://goo.gl/ugIHaV Subscribe to They Will Kill You for new videos: http://goo.gl/SaufF4 Full image attributions available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x07mn3y6oazqcxt/10%20Worst%20Nuclear%20Disasters%20in%20History.doc?dl=0 Number 10: Myak Located in northeastern Russia, Mayak is an industrial complex that experienced an accident in 1957 known as the Kyshtym Disaster. During this disaster, an explosion caused 100 tons of radioactive waste to be released into the environment, exposing more than 400,000 people to radiation. The International Nuclear Event Scale measured it as a 6, meaning it was the third worst nuclear disaster of all time. The only two that were worse were Fukushima & Chernobyl. As it was operated by the Soviet Union, the activities at Myak were top secret & the public was not immediately informed about its happenings. A week after the explosion, 10,000 people from the surrounding area were evacuated, though they still did not know what was going on. While it is not entirely clear how many health issues can be attributed to this incident, some believe that as many as around 8,000 people died over a 30-year span. Others estimates count anywhere between 50 to 200 fatalities. But even before the accident actually took place, dangerous material was released into a nearby river that also subjected the area to high radioactive exposure. Other accidents at the complex have put humans & the environment at risk as well. From 1953 till 2000, dozens of minor accidents as well as two major ones occurred at Myak. At one point, a dried up polluted lake called Lake Karachay began releasing radioactive particles into surrounding bodies of water during a heavy rainstorm in 1967. Heavy winds spread dust & radioactive material from the lake over to the town of Ozyorsk. Number 9: The Santa Susana Field Laboratory Located in the Simi Valley of Southern California, the Santa Susana Field Laboratory was used from 1949 until 2006. The complex had many uses over the years. It was used to research government-sponsored liquid metals, to develop liquid propellant rocket engines for NASA, & to house nuclear reactors. Over the years, four of the ten nuclear reactors experienced accidents. In July, 1959, one of the worst nuclear reactor accidents in U.S. history occurred at the site. After the site saw a nuclear meltdown, it released what is believed to be an enormous amount of radioactivity. The exact amount was never specified. Some estimates say that it was as much as 458 times the amount released during the Three Mile Island disaster of 1979. Earlier that year, the same AE6 Nuclear Reactor was leaking fission gas, which was likely to be the cause of the meltdown that occurred months later. In 2006, scientists & researchers concluded that contamination from the accidents as well as sodium burn pits—which were used to clean sodium contaminated objects—might have been responsible for as many as 300 to 1,8000 cancer deaths. Number 8: Three Mile Island Mentioned earlier, this accident garnered much national attention & occurred in 1979 at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. On March 28th, 1979, a mechanical failure at the site resulted in nuclear reactor coolant being leaked from one of the reactors. When all was said & done, a large amount of radioactive gases & iodine was released into the environment. The exact amount has not been explicitly made known. The extent of the damage was so bad that initially, all pregnant women & young children within a five-mile radius of Three Mile Island were evacuated. It eventually extended to a 20-mile & ultimately a 30-mile radius. About 140,000 of the 635,000 people in the area chose to evacuate, & many of these folks returned within weeks of the accident. An investigation found that the accident occurred due to human miscalculations & a valve malfunction. The cleanup effort lasted four years, from 1979 till 1993. Aside from the health & environmental toll the accident took, it also badly damaged the development of nuclear energy. Plans to build 51 nuclear reactors were canceled & it wasn’t until 2012 that another nuclear power plant was authorized for construction.

Hiroshima And Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Documentary Real Video (Hindi)
In August 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in human history. As the Second World War entered its sixth and final year, the Allies had begun to prepare for, what was anticipated to be, a very costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. This was preceded by an immensely destructive firebombing campaign that obliterated many Japanese cities. The war in Europe had concluded when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May 8, 1945, but with the Japanese refusal to accept the Allies' demands for unconditional surrender, the Pacific War dragged on. Together with the United Kingdom and China, the United States' calls for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945 was buttressed with the threat of "prompt and utter destruction". By August 1945, the Allied Manhattan Project had successfully detonated an atomic device in the New Mexico desert and subsequently produced atomic weapons based on two alternate designs. The 509th Composite Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces was equipped with a Silverplate Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands. A uranium gun-type atomic bomb (Little Boy) was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, followed by a plutonium implosion-type bomb (Fat Man) on the city of Nagasaki on August 9. Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–80,000 in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizable military garrison. On August 15, just days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies. On September 2, it signed the instrument of surrender, effectively ending World War II. The bombings' role in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated. 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 active deployments of nuclear weapons in war to date. Footage from the air of atomic bomb blasts in Hiroshima, then Nagasaki (Japan) in 1945. This effectively ended the War in the Pacific. Hiroshima And Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Documentary Real Video (Hindi Documentary)

http://thefilmarchive.org/ During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the Allies of World War II conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. These two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date. Following a firebombing campaign that destroyed many Japanese cities, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of Japan. The war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on 8 May, but the Pacific War continued. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on 26 July 1945, threatening Japan with "prompt and utter destruction". The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum, and two nuclear weapons developed by the Manhattan Project were deployed. Little Boy was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, followed by the Fat Man over Nagasaki on 9 August. 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 prefecture health department estimated 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 burns, and 50--60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison. On 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies, signing the Instrument of Surrender on 2 September, officially ending World War II. The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan's adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding the nation from nuclear armament. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombing_of_japan

Killed By Death

If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you
I'm a romantic adventure
And I'm a reptile too
But it don't make no difference
Cause I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
The only time I'm gonna be easy's when I'm
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
I'm a lone wolf ligger
But I ain't no pretty girl
I'm a backbone shiver
And I'm a bundle of joy
But it don't make no difference
Cause I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
The only time I'm easy is when I'm
Killed by death
