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.

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.
Assistant = ass
My phone hates expletives.
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.
this is actually not bee-level funny.
we don’t know how extensive was damage underground. everyone says something based on its relevance to them and their own goals.
we may never know.
LOL. Meh. ‘Tis a flesh wound.
I would have supported Israel using a tactical nuke to destroy that Iranian mountain.
Now that was LOL funny.
The Indians drive them off with iron bars, rocks and other such improvised melee weapons because the understanding is that as long as no one is shooting it is not a "war". If ever someone starts shooting it becomes a war, not just an "incident" and the rules change drastically.
It is the same with Nukes. As long as no one is using them all the other people keep theirs tucked away as well.
What will happen if someone uses a nuke? No one knows. Maybe nothing. Or maybe once the genie is out everyone will start resorting to them. No one wants to find out.
Nagasaki was hit with a Plutonium bomb.
About 99% of all nuclear weapons today are Plutonium. Only N. Korea and **maybe** Pakistan have their nukes from U-235.
Plutonium does not require months or years of centrifuge activity. It is likely N. Korea will transition their weapons to Plutonium soon, since they have a power reactor. As does Iran. Spent fuel rods are the plutonium source.
(It largely doesn’t matter if the centrifuges were destroyed)
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.
They got me! I didn’t notice it was the Bee.
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?
For some reason, I understood Israel’s nukes were U235 implosion devices. (I always thought only plutonium worked like this, but U235 apparently does, too.)
The advantage of U235 warheads is they don’t need reprocessing nearly as often as plutonium.
