World War II has left a very sad story for the people of Japan. The Atomic Bomb had been dropped by US allied troops in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
On August 6, 1945, in the morning, it was dropped over the city of Hiroshima. As a result, more than 70% of the area was destroyed, and 70,000 people were killed instantly. And a few years later, no less than 200 thousand people died due to injuries and radiation left behind.
It is said that the land hit by the bomb a few meters down cannot be planted, because the strong radiation that makes anything planted cannot grow.
Even the clothes (clothes) that were affected, until last 2016, still left strong bomb radiation.
Like the clothes belonging to Toyoko Kubota, now 89 years old. At that time he was on the second floor of the school building, about 1.3 kilometers from where the bomb fell. He was trapped under the rubble of the building but managed to escape despite injury. Well, the clothes he wears are still there today, and are still said to contain radioactive.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the remnants of the all-powerful bomb blast are still visible today. Especially along the coast of the Motoujina Peninsula, Japan. Actually it's not natural glass or crystals, but fragments of objects hit by the atomic bomb dropped to end the second world war.
Debris called the 'Hiroshimaites' originated from the remains of an exploding city building, then flew into the sky, oxidized with clouds of atoms, then fell to earth with rain. Many such items as glass were found in Hiroshima Bay and Miyajima Island, which geologists believe were fragments of the Hiroshima bomb, 74 years ago.
That is how science destroys human civilization, if it is misused for negative things. The inventor of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer, as well as the director of the development of nuclear bombs at Los Alamos Lab, had to spend the rest of his life in regret, after seeing how the atomic bomb was created.
Oppenheimer always advised that the use of the bomb was not a way to resolve the war. Therefore, he always regretted the actions of the United States which did not give a warning to Japan before dropping the bomb.
That is technology, like two sides of a sword. If it is used for positive things, then humans can explore space. Conversely, if it is used for negative things, then it can destroy the earth and all human civilization.
