The dawn of August 6, 1945, brought with it not only the light of a new day, but the harsh glare of a reality that mankind had never before witnessed. The day that saw the unleashing of Little Boy, the atomic bomb that devastated Hiroshima, would mark a grisly chapter in the chronicles of war. And it didn't end there. Three days later, Nagasaki faced the same atomic nightmare with the drop of Fat Man.
Piloting the B-29 bomber Enola Gay was Colonel Paul Tibbets. Upon his aircraft, a weapon of such destructive might that it would eviscerate and incinerate lives within seconds, reducing the living, breathing city to a desolate ruin. President Harry S Truman, the man who sanctioned the drop, proclaimed, "the greatest thing in history."
However, the aftermath witnessed at the epicenter was something far from great. What became of the people caught in the blast radius of these monstrous bombs? The atomic furnace pulverized everything and everyone in its path. Men, women, and children were instantly vaporized where they stood. Yet the horror didn't stop at the moment of the blasts.
As J. Robert Oppenheimer, the so-called father of the atomic bomb, chillingly quoted from the Bhagavad Gita, "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." But can we fathom the gravity behind these words as we explore the immediate and lasting effects on those unfortunate souls near the epicenters?
Join us as we delve into this harrowing chapter of human history and unmask the grim truth behind the fatal shadows of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

My Father, a WWII Veteran of the US Navy in the Asiatic Pacific theater of Operations was there also for the occupation of Japan and saw Hiroshima in it's aftermath and did have nightmares about what He had seen which much of that is described here. He said nothing was left of the city but for the most part didn't want to talk about what He had seen there in Hiroshima. Considering the combat He endured on Destroyers and Minesweepers this still stood out above even much of that. Dad did have some effect from exposure to radiation at Hiroshima on His skin but did live to age 97 having died earlier this year during May 2023.
