U.S. — CNN has obtained a classified briefing revealing that the city of Hiroshima was "barely affected" after being hit by an atomic bomb.
According to anonymous sources, the briefing states that Hiroshima being hit by a nuke only set back the city "a couple of months" and that all of its industries would be operating as normal shortly.
"Hiroshima escaped with minimal damage," reported CNN's Anderson Cooper. "A few entrances to the city were shut down, but otherwise the city remains completely intact. We have highly classified intelligence which confirms that Hiroshima was not, I repeat, was not incinerated as was expected. The U.S. mission has failed."
Several members of the military and intelligence community have disputed CNN's reporting. "We literally dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima. There was a mushroom cloud and everything," explained a military intelligence officer on condition of anonymity. "I know there's no on-ground confirmation, which is because you can't go in there since it's radioactive and you'll die. Which is, again, because we dropped an atomic bomb on it."
At publishing time, CNN had stood by its reporting and stated it would do so until an American went to ground zero to take pictures.
