What Happened To The Bodies Just After The Hiroshima Bomb Exploded?
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?
