Amazing. Probably the most detailed documentary on this historic event, cgi-tasticdetailed that is..

Absolutely horrific... My god, it's incomprehendable how horrible it'd be to survive and look around to find complete hell. This did a damn good job of portraying that feeling, I'm disturbed.

 

[Ennui]

Yeah, Hiroshima and Nagasaki was kind of like 9/11 times a thousand.

Imagine how the pilots felt knowing they vaporized 100 thousand people.

This is the Hiroshima a-bomb dome. This building, which is about 50 meters from being almost directly below where the nuclear bomb exploded, managed to be one of the 3 or so buildings which weren't completely decimated and burnt to rubble within a 2 kilometre radius. Clearly its in ruins all the same. The bomb itself exploded 600 meters in the air.

"I flew over that in the war...

... but I didn't land."

And you can sort of see my brother in the lower right.

I think I saw this documentary a few years ago.

Is there a part about

Spoiler

some doctor who travelled out of town the night before and slept at some patient's house and saw the explosion the next morning? Because I remember a part where he said he was walking back to the city and he saw a "creature he had never seen before, apparently with no skin, mumbling incoherently and walking away from the city" (of course this was a person disfigured by the blast) That part was really disturbing.

If this is the same documentary, it's probably the best I've ever seen about Hiroshima.

Yeah I saw that doc and remember that part. It was on BBC. I think this is the same one.
