Hiroshima, 64 años atras

El 6 de agosto, se cumplen 64 años desde que el bombardeo atómico de Hiroshima, Japón por los Estados Unidos al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dirigida por razones militares y por su terreno (plano para facilitar la evaluación de las consecuencias), Hiroshima era el hogar de aproximadamente 250.000 personas en el momento del bombardeo por Los EE.UU.
B-29 Superfortress bombardero "Enola Gay" despegó de la isla de palestinos muy temprano en la mañana del 6 de agosto, con 8.900 libras de uranio en clave bomba "Little Boy".
Casi 70.000 personas se cree que han sido asesinados de inmediato, posiblemente, con otros 70.000 supervivientes de la muerte y lesiones por exposición a la radiación de 1950.


navegando por internet me encontre con esto y me parecio que seria buena idea compartirlo con la comunidad de taringa las fotografias son impresionantes lamentablemente es un hecho historico condenable sin pensarlo dos veces esto es algo que nunca debemos alvidar espero que les guste mi post los comentarios de las fotografias son en ingles pero las fotografias hablan por si solas

An aerial view of Hiroshima, viewed some time shortly before the bomb was dropped on it in August of 1945. The scene shows a very densely built-up area of the city on the Motoyasu River looking upstream.

An early photograph of Hiroshima, before August 1945, looking upstream on the Motoyasu River toward what would become the most famous of all Hiroshima landmarks - the domed Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, immediately adjacent to ground zero. The building was originally designed by Czech architect Jan Letzel and completed in April 1915.

"Little Boy" unit rests on a trailer cradle in a pit below the open bomb bay doors of the B-29 Superfortress bomber "Enola Gay" on the 509th Composite Group base at Tinian Island in the Marianas Islands in 1945. Little Boy was 3 m (10 ft) long, and weighed 4,000 kg (8,900 lb), but only carried contained 64 kg (141 lbs) of uranium which would be used to create a nuclear chain reaction, and resulting explosion.

Shortly after 8:15 am, August 5, 1945, looking down on the rising smoke from the atomic explosion above the city of Hiroshima from one of two U.S. Air Force bombers from the 509th Composite Group. By the time this photo was taken, the flash of light and intense heat from a fireball 370 m (1,200 ft) diameter had already taken place, and an intense shockwave radiating out faster than the speed of sound was dissipating, having done most of its damage to ground structures and people in a circle 3.2 km (2 mi) in diameter.

Shortly after 8:15 am, August 5, 1945, looking back at the growing "mushroom" cloud above Hiroshima. When a portion of the uranium in the bomb underwent fission, and was transformed instantly into an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (about 6.3 × 1013 joules), heating a massive fireball to a temperature of 3,980 C (7,200 F). The superheated air and smoke rapidly rose through the atmosphere like a giant bubble, dragging a column of smoke up with it. By the time this photo was made, smoke had billowed 20,000 feet above Hiroshima while smoke from the burst of the first atomic bomb had spread over 10,000 feet on the target at the base of the column.

A street scene showing atomic bomb damage in Hiroshima. Note how the sidewalk has been pushed up, and a drain pipe has punched through through the bridge. Scientists say this phenomenon is due to a vacuum created by pressure of the atomic blast. (U.S. National Archives)


This patient (photographed by Japanese forces on October 2nd, 1945) was about 6,500 feet from ground zero when the rays struck him from the left. His cap was sufficient to protect the top of his head against flash burns. (U.S. National Archives)
