But what happened to the actual city when it was consumed in its awful, unforgettable fire?
devastation at a scale not seen before
one of humankind's darkest hours

Yup, no bias there. Still trying to lay a guilt trip on America after all these years.

If Soylent Green is people, so too are glass spherules. Right?

Sorry, this is where my mind goes.

No other logical explanation ... well, since the article tells us these are usually found at metorite impact sites, have they ruled that out or simply made an assumption based on locale?

I wonder... Could any of that debris have come from the 520 Atmospheric atomic and nuclear test done between 1954 to 1992?

The Japanese started fighting WWII in 1938 and frequently used biological and chemical weapons. They started it, wr finished it.

It was horrible, and it sent the message that world domination attempts would be met with force. It put an end to Japan’s imperialistic intentions and ended the war. Horrible, yes. People obliterated. War is hell. But don’t try to lay guilt on us. In war you do what you have to do.

I just watched an anti US Netflix movie called Twice.
It’s about a man who was in Hiroshima and survived. He went home to Nagasaki later that day and survived again.

Bad luck/good luck?

The only thing missing is the ghastly legacy of the battles from a full on U.S. invasion of the heart of Japan. Then the “scientists” would just have some other means of trying to make us feel guilty about our WWII pursuits against Japan.

Every time one of these liberal apologists for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki I think of the weeks I spent in Japan not being allowed to venture outside because of the radiation clouds and high radiation that came over the islands from the Russian and Chinese nuclear detonations from 1957-1962. No one seems to blame the Communists for irradiating the Japanese islands with almost as much radiation as did we in two detonations.

Following the nuclear explosions at both Hiroshima and shortly after at Nagasaki, and the devastation at a scale not seen before ...
Sure was seen before. The firebombing of Tokyo just a few months earlier, was equally as devastating if not more so.

One thing missing from the article is a discussion of the isotopes in the spherules. Even after al this time there should be radioisotopes.

Also the makeup of the stuff should be quite different from tektites.

One atomic bomb should have been enough to convince Imperial Japan to surrender. It wasn’t. Even after the second bomb was dropped, a deadlocked Japan ministry revealed a hesitation to surrender. The Emperor finally broke the deadlock. They knew they would lose the war months earlier, but wanted to take out as many Americans as they could, before the end. They are responsible, any sane person would agree.

I wonder why we didn’t surround Japan and starve them into submission.
