Right. Hiroshima is a thriving city today. I guess the bombing was “pointless.”

I LOL’d.

As an FYI, the same squadron (509th) hitting the nuke labs dropped the sun on Japan in 1945, making them just as bad assistant as the Nightstalkers in my opinion.

It’s the Bee; but very easy to mistake for something CNN would pronounce.

Then why did Japan surrender? Anyway, the Hiroshima bomb was especially dirty because most of most of the fissile material did reach critical mass, and was instead scattered around the city after being irradiated by the blast.

I would have supported Israel using a tactical nuke to destroy that Iranian mountain.

Most postwar Japanese cities were rebuilt much faster than most German cities. Part of it was most small buildings being wooden, but part of it was the usual Japanese penchant for rebuilding, given centuries of natural disasters.

Hiroshima, August 6, 1945, was one of the few times where is was okay for a politician (in this case, the mayor of Hiroshima) to use the “F” word. He said:

“What the F*** was that?”

If they guy is talking about the one Mosler bank safe that survived the blast he might be sort of right?

Say what you will, compare Hiroshima of today with “the arsenal of Democracy” (Detroit) today, and tell me which city survived better.

Hiroshima actually did bounce back quickly. Turns out nukes are pretty handy for urban renewal.

“Our sources indicate that most of the city had been hauled off in trucks and safeguarded elsewhere in anticipation of a possible aerial strike.”
