The moment of detonation at Nagasaki August 9, 1945.


The moment of detonation at Nagasaki August 9, 1945. Photograph by Hiromichi Matsuda. It's not a glorious part of history, but it happened and I don't think anyone should ignore it.

  1. I don't know Matthew. Wonder where you got this. Something doesn't look quite right about it. There are 4 people just standing there...If that had happened that close to you, would you just be standing there? Could be a hoax photo...Reputable site?
    Don't mind me, just my analytical mind. I do agree that day needs to be remembered and welcome photo's.

  2. It should be real. I know that the website that I get my photos from mainly, post everything about real history. They don't play when it comes to that. Those people on the ground had no idea what had happened, or the consequences.

  9. Thanks Inka,..and Margaret, for the fine conversation and history studying, to make sure of things.  I love things like this, because what makes such an impact on me is that something like this happened twice in history and hopefully not, but it could happen again. We must be realistic in all things concerning this life, because it's so very unpredictable, and to have a head start on things in your mind is an advantage. Thanks again. :-)
