"I would love to know what this means. It is hard to grasp."

Go to the link below, from the Movie "Fat Man Little Boy". I don't know how accurate the movie was, but you will get the idea of the pieces coming in contact with one another....

Thanks for the link. I saw the movie a long time ago. John Kusak is the guy that dies from touching the radiation, but it is not historically accurate because he dies before the Hiroshima detonation, and in reality both men died after. But they showed how he looked from the poisoning and it was awful!!
Also, in the move Kusak’s character comes out strongly against using the bomb saying that they were setting up factories to make HUNDREDS of bombs but Oppenheimer went ahead anyway I will look at the link thanks :)
