Hiroshima- August 6, 1945
Physical Destruction
Where to start?In the early hours, thousands fled the city. Then they came back- to rescue the injured, collect corpses, and restore city functions All were exposed to residual radiation.But, how do you identify the age or gender of a hairless, swollen, and discolored corpse?
Or worse, the imprints of human beings vaporized by the heat of the blast.
Radiation Effects
What do you do with the survivors?
What about the lasting effects?
J. Robert Oppenheimer
The lead scientist of the Manhattan Project upon seeing the fireball after successfully
testing the first atomic bomb:
