Hiroshima Day: When America's atomic bomb fell from the sky as a 'disaster', millions of lives were destroyed in one stroke

News Topical, Digital Desk : 6 August 1945... It was a dark day for the world when a devastating atomic bomb fell from the sky in Hiroshima, Japan (Hiroshima Day) and swallowed millions of people in one stroke. This bomb blast shook the whole world. An entire city of Japan was deserted after the death of 1,40,000 people.

The sight of this terrible tragedy in Hiroshima still sends chills down people's spines. During the Second World War, America dropped atomic bombs on two major Japanese cities, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the effects of which can still be seen. Today marks 80 years since the Hiroshima bomb blast.

Nuclear is still the biggest threat

In these 80 years, Japan has certainly been included in the list of developed countries. But the threat of nuclear weapons still looms over the world. Many countries are still seen threatening nuclear bombs. Nobel Prize winner Nihon Hidankyo says-

We don't have much time left. The world is moving very fast towards a nuclear threat. Replacing countries with nuclear bombs has become our biggest challenge.

Hiroshima-Nagasaki Nuclear Attack

On 6 August 1945, America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, and in a moment, more than 1 lakh 40 thousand lives were lost. Only 3 days had passed since this incident when America dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki city, in which more than 70 thousand people were killed. This attack pulled the ground from under Japan's feet. Japan, which was on the verge of victory in the Second World War, surrendered on 15 August and with this the Second World War ended.

The bell rings at 8:15 in the morning

America had carried out a bomb blast in Hiroshima at exactly 8:15 in the morning. This day is still observed as a mourning meeting in Japan. At this time, the Peace Bell is rung in Japan. Tribute is also paid to the dead.

The only country to have suffered a nuclear attack

Many people lost their loved ones forever in these nuclear attacks. The effect of radiation spread by the nuclear bomb is still seen in the people of Nagasaki and Hiroshima cities. After this attack, Japan decided to disband its army and went under the protection of America. The responsibility of Japan's security still rests on America's shoulders. At the same time, Japan is the only country in the world to have suffered the tragedy of a nuclear attack.
