Hiroshima After The Atom Bomb, 1946

you can't see it clearly in the movie, but the wall covered with blood spatters is all that was left of a person...horrible.

it doesn't matte how many people die, you can't measure things in terms of lifes because life is priceless. Both the bombings of Japan and the twin towers in the u.s are terrible events that we all wish never happened. It was the rulers of japan who brought this upon their country, it is so sad that the people had to pay for this.

"The bombs are nothing to be proud of... but are by far not the worst of the war atrocities. " Im guessing you're American. Over 170,000 innocent civilians burned to death and thousands more affected from the gamma rays and you think this 'not the worst of the war atrocities'. You clearly haven't read very much into this... This is one of the saddest and most dispicable events throughout history. It can't be justified in any way.

so sad but educational

Quote: "The Japs brutally bayonetted thousands for fun in Nanking and other places." Try 200-300 thousand men, women, children, babies killed bayonetted and raped for war and fun by the Japanese Military in late 1937. The bombs are nothing to be proud of... but are by far not the worst of the war atrocities.

I think that this movie rocks because it gave me a lot of information for my project I LOVED it!!!!!!!!1

I hate to say it but after a horrific crime like that, how can the americans get so upset about the twin towers?? 3000 dead vs 170,000 from both bombings ^^ Its different because at the time of the atomic bombs, America was at war with Japan. The Hiroshima bombing, however terrible, was not unlawful. And as to the "Japs bayonnetted thousands for fun" I think the point that makes the bombings so terrible is that it was a massacre of innocent civilians, not soldiers, that was carried out. The fact that even now children of survivers are still born limbless or blind because of the radiation adds to this atrocity.

The Japs brutally bayonetted thousands for fun in Nanking and other places. They would never have stopped. We cooked a few hundred thousand and gave Hirohito a way to save his own end. He took the offer and that's why he lived. He saved 2 to 3 million of his own people and 100,000 Americans using the bomb as his way out.
