Earlier this month were completed 64 years of slaughter.
On August 6, 1945, the Japanese city of Hiroshima, located on Honshu, the main island of Japan, suffered the devastation, hitherto unknown, of a nuclear attack. At 8:15, the B-29 bomber "Enola Gay" commanded by pilot Paul W. Tibblets, dropped on Hiroshima a little boy, name in the key of the uranium bomb. A deafening noise marked the moment of the explosion, followed by a glare that lit up the sky. Within minutes, a plume of smoke gray-purple with a heart of fire (at an approximate temperature of 4000 ° C) became a huge "mushroom cloud" just over a mile high. One of the crew of the Enola Gay, "described his vision of that time, about the place they just bomb," it seemed as if the lava covers the entire city. "
Tokyo, located 700 kilometers away, lost all contact with Hiroshima: There was a silence. After three hours flight, the envoys could not believe their eyes: Hiroshima was only a big scar on the land, surrounded by fire and smoke.
Not all memories are nice!
