Hiroshima, Japan – What Really Happened on the Day of the Atomic Bomb 🇯🇵

Hiroshima, Japan. So, folks, you’ve all heard of Hiroshima. The very same Hiroshima where the world’s first nuclear bomb was dropped. And today, I ‘m standing in that very Hiroshima city. Just imagine, there was a time when this city was considered the pride of Japan. Beautiful castles, peaceful gardens, and people walking along the river. And then, in an instant, everything was destroyed. On August 6th, 1945, at 8:00 a.m., a moment came that changed everything forever. The world’s first atomic bomb, named Little Boy, was dropped here. A blast that even today sends shivers down one’s spine. A bomb with the energy equivalent to 15,000 tons of T-37 bombs fell here, and everything was destroyed in a second. 70,000 people perished instantly, and the radiation destroyed millions of lives in the following months. The city’s buildings melted. Trees burned and fell, and people’s shadows were imprinted on the walls. The radiation from that bomb was so high. But, brothers, the story of Hiroshima city isn’t just about destruction. It’s a story of comeback. The people here didn’t give up. Despite pain, radiation, and tragedy, they rebuilt the city. So, brothers, today we’ve come to that same Hiroshima city, and I’m going to show you how Hiroshima, which rose from devastation, has become a magnificent, vibrant, and peaceful city today. So, brothers, here I am in front of you. So, brothers, today we’re in Hiroshima, and in this video, I’m going to show you Hiroshima, where the item bomb fell. Like you know, we’ve all read about it in books, seen it in videos, and heard a lot about it. There’s a place in Japan called Hiroshima, where the nuclear bomb was dropped, basically by the US. So, today we’re in that city. And I’m going to show you all the things related to it, like the Peace Memorial Park, the museums, all of it. Okay, so before that, let me give you some information. You know, Hiroshima used to be a village, basically a small fishing village. Okay? What happened then? During the Edo period, it transformed into a huge city. Okay ? And then what happened? During World War II, when the war was going on between the US and Japan, what was it like at that time? This was like Hiroshima, like when it had become a military hub for the people of Japan. Okay? So then the US people came to know that there are a lot of people here, like military etc. etc. So the US targeted this location Hiroshima and they directly dropped the bomb here. And brother, after dropping that bomb, about 70 to 80 thousand people were instantly wiped out and the entire Hiroshima was reduced to ashes, nothing was left here. So this was some history of that place. Okay? So now I am going to show you the exact place where that bomb fell. See the place, this is the place where that atomic bomb fell and only this one building survived that bomb . Meaning, only one building was left and everything else was destroyed here. See the top, like how it’s built, like circular, you know? Tom. And then there are some iron rods, like stairs, etc., at the back. All of them are melted, and I don’t know how this building survived. Nothing else is left. From what I’m seeing, this building looks like it has a lot of open windows, so maybe when the bomb fell, all the windows must have shattered, and all the explosive material came out of the windows. So, that’s why maybe the first building, brother, is where the Tom bomb fell. We’re standing today at the same place, I don’t know, it used to be some kind of industrial complex. And let me tell you one good thing: the Japanese, I think, are very active and very sincere about things . Because I’m looking at Hiroshima right now, Hiroshima has developed a lot. It’s transformed into a huge city, bro. I thought there wouldn’t be much in Hiroshima. It would be a small town, but it’s a huge, big city, bro. Everything is here. See, you see the iron staircases in the back, they’re all melted down. So, these people have preserved this building as a memory. Like, man, I had read that you know, some 70 to 80 thousand people died. But I just read it and saw that it says 200 thousand people died. And man, we have to visit this place right now. This is a huge Peace Memorial Park. Inside it is like this dome. See the architecture, man. Inside, it’s a complete ruin. They’ve protected the walls with iron rods. By the way , the Children’s Peace Monument, we’ve just arrived at the Children’s Peace Monument. In memory of the children who died in the atomic bomb, they built this place, a speech memorial, and we’ve now arrived at the flame. You can see this flame burning. The fire, man, there was an officer from the Japanese University, Kenzo Take, who built this thing. You can see this flame. This flame burns forever. And what’s its basic purpose? He built it so that when, you know, nuclear weapons all over the world stop being used, they’re all gone, then they’ll light this fire, and it’ll keep burning as long as there’s even a single nuclear weapon left. And it’ll keep burning forever. I mean, it was written at the back, like I read about it. I think during raining time or snow etc., maybe some more precaution must be taken. Otherwise, it keeps burning all the time. Do you understand brother? It will keep burning until all the nuclear weapons are destroyed. Brother, this is our entire Peace Memorial Park. Here the flag of Japan is on top. So friend, we have just come near the Hirashima Peace Memorial Museum. Let us show you about it here. You know, about this nuclear bomb etc., about the deck etc., you know, there will be all the history etc. So let us see what is there inside. So friend, like we have come inside the museum. The ticket costs about ₹200 and inside they have given all the information about Ershima and about that attack and about all the things. I have just come here and they are showing me a scene of President Obama visiting Ershima. President Obama has also come to Ershima. Barack Obama pressures America to visit the Peace Memorial Museum on 27th. He wrote a message to promote abolition of nuclear weapons and the lobby of the East Building together. We have known the agonism of war. Let us now find the courage together to spend peace and achieve a world now without nuclear weapons. Brother, this is just a picture of that time. Mushroom cloud photograph from the Army Marine Training Division. This is a third of three photographs taken by Kimora of the mushroom cloud. Soldier showing symptoms of radiation effects. See this picture brother, in this there is a man whose entire body is burnt by that bomb. After the bomb, after the army bombing, the injured were transported to No Shiva Island where the army operated Antine section relief station at First Municipal Elementary School, look brother, Gas Company Roshima Point is completely destroyed, Roshimapuri Agriculture Association Hiroshima Branch, First Hiroshima Girls High School, oh brother, it is completely destroyed. Temporary relief station set up on the bank of the Oga River. oh brother, brother, look, all the people are burnt. How bad must have been their condition at that time. Look, there is a temple which was completely destroyed. Damage to utility poles near Takanbasi. Brother, this entire station is damaged. Everything is finished.

They got cancer. Oh brother, dude, tell me, such big people are making these weapons. Tell me what was the need to drop a nuclear bomb to destroy people like this, friend. Brother, look, the man is lying dead due to the effect of radiation. The tracks etc. have completely fallen. Burn the streetcar. The entire city of the vehicles has been destroyed in one go brother. This is the location brother, where it fell. Exactly that sister and brother who lost their hair. Oh brother, look, these are trousers like Joe A man was wearing a mask at that time, brother, it was completely destroyed, look, there is a whole Jalwal, there are gas tanks etc. on it, there is a shadow on the left side of the gas tank, the gas company, brother, look, the shadow of that gas handled it, that is, it has remained like this, brother, whatever building was shown where the bomb fell, it used to be like this earlier, this building, and look, everything around it used to be like this, look, everything was completely developed, look, all these houses are built, everything is destroyed, brother, in 1945, like the man I just showed, like how the city used to be, and then how it became after the bomb, all the trees, etc., all the leaves were destroyed, earlier it used to be like this, on August 1945, and then see, everything is fine and right now the bomb is about to come here, that is, they have shown the entire presentation here , and now how has it happened, look, this bomb has come on the city and everything is finished , destroying was destroying, nothing was the approximately 140 people had died by the 1945 Hypo Centre that’s the place that people 20 picture 7 Sh brother look at this after the war these people are sitting brother they are holding these pictures brother look at this picture of after the bomb fell brother brother look at this fused metal with other devices brother look at the whole metal the metal is melted oh brother there are radiations these stones etc are broken brother the iron is molten then we fell down suddenly oh brother what is the condition of this bicycle and look here brother these are the clothes etc. of the people chappals etc. bottles etc. shoes etc. all the people were wearing man with burns shovelling for help with serious on the head arms and legs street caring with sh on the river death body emergency relief stations brother look at the bad condition of the people running disaster oh brother look at these clothes like a student’s oh brother these are the clothes of the people from that time I have already tried up after the surgery sh losing to the best long life lasting sh in their arms new life so brother like There are a lot of things inside, like pictures of people. After the collapse, the people who survived, they also got diseases because of that radiation, right? And that means they died by the end of the day. And you know, as soon as the atom bomb fell, after that, the people who came from other cities etc., then in Haroshma, they too were affected by that radiation, I mean, the gas that was spread there, etc., they too died very quickly and many people had symptoms, they got fever, diarrhea, cancer, these things, brother, what a day it must have been, I mean, it feels strange to think about it, I mean, people are just spending normally, you know, normal days, like, you know, children are playing, people are going to school, people are traveling, people are going to offices, suddenly something happens which destroys everything, just thinking about it feels so much, I mean, how would things have been at that time, now should we have this response to be victims, let all the souls be expressed in peace , or like, these monuments are being erected in the Peace Memorial Park. One is this monument, Monuments in Memory of Korean Victims of the M, one is built like this, Ambong Memorial Mount, this is our Peace Clock Tower, Children’s Peace Monument, our Victims’ Monument, City Peace, this is our M formally prefix and Promotion Hall, Rest House, Memorial Hall, Victims, and yaar, now we have come to a section . In this section, basically, it has been shown completely that how the making of atom bomb started and its use, you know, development and use of atom bomb, everything is about it. How were the decisions taken? How did what happened? How did the talks happen? How was the attack on Japan etc. done? Everything is explained completely. C, this was that dome, and after the bomb head, this is how it became, okay.

Hiroshima, Japan… the city where the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped on 6 August 1945. A moment that changed human history forever.
In this video, I share what really happened on that day, how the city was destroyed within seconds, and how Hiroshima has rebuilt itself into a peaceful and inspiring place today.

I visited the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Memorial Park, and the exact spots that witnessed the unimaginable destruction. Standing here feels surreal… it’s hard to believe this peaceful city was once ground zero.

Hope this helps you connect with Hiroshima’s powerful story. ❤️🇯🇵
