cities of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki the bomb that was dropped on
hirosima was named little boy and it was
designed to detonate before hitting the
ground the city had a population of
around
350,000 people the initial explosion
killed over
78,000 people but some would say that
these were the lucky ones it's the
accounts of people who survived that
truly describe a hell on Earth and it's
those accounts that I'm going to be
exploring
today hello everybody shrouded hand here
this is the horror of the Hiroshima
bomb the accounts in this video come
from Charles pelegrino's book to hell
back the last train from Hiroshima if
you want to hear more stories like this
I recommend reading the book because
this video only scratches the surface of
the nightmares
described a short time ago an American
airplane dropped one bomb on hirosima
and destroyed its usefulness to the
enemy that bomb has more power than
20,000 tons of TNT
we have spent more than $2 billion on
the greatest scientific gamble in
history and we have
won Akiko takakura and her friend assami
were inside the Gaby bank and they were
just about to open when the bomb
detonated although they were relatively
close to the hypo Center just some 250 M
away the tank sturdy granite and
concrete structure provided significant
protection against the deadly Atomic
rays and the advancing shock wave
nonetheless when the shock wave hit
Akiko felt a painful squeezing sensation
in her lungs a armi was thrown against a
wall and compressed like an accordion
then the decorative cladding on the wall
burst into shards of granite shrap
null Akiko would later recall drifting
in and out of conscious ious during the
first few minutes after the explosions
her lungs achd and she struggled to
comprehend what was happening to her
body then came an overwhelming thirst
unlike anything that they'd ever
experienced the bomb's explosion had
instantly caused water to evaporate from
Rivers ponds and all exposed surfaces
within a 2 kilm radius stripping
moisture from every living thing caught
in the flashh even those who were inside
buildings they managed us to fill air
raid helmets with water from a ruptured
pipe but no matter how much they drank
their thirst only became more
intense within a short while the air
inside the bank became unbearably hot
and the women decided that they must
evacuate at 8:25 a.m. 10 minutes after
the explosion they finally managed to
step outside and they saw the extent of
the
devastation the sun had completely
disappeared and the landcape was bathed
in red caused by fire rising from the
remnants of buildings that had been
reduced to burning
rubble a Kiko looked down the streets
and at first it appeared to be empty but
then she noticed the charred remains of
people who had been walking towards the
bank when the bomb
detonated there were blackened scorched
bodies collapsed over each other as far
as she could see several bodies had
crumpled apart like sacks of burning
leaves spilled under the ground others
had been reduced to charcoal and piles
of burning wax nearby Akiko saw the body
of a man who was still standing he
appeared to have been flash fossilized
whilst pulling a large two- wheel cart
inside the cart she saw the bodies of
two charcoal crusted children they were
sitting clutching their
knees overwhelmed she crouched down in
the street trying to comprehend what she
was seeing and then she noticed
something on the ground next to her
something that had remained soft and
fleshy it was a hand its fingers
sticking up and burning like candles the
fat being drawn to the fingertips from
the tissues
below at this point it began to rain and
as the drops fell the intense thirst
returned forcing Akiko and Asami to turn
their faces towards the sky and drink
the rain opening their mouths as wide as
possible the water tasted foul when
Akiko looked at down at her arm she
noticed that the water was staining her
skin black the rain was thick and
repulsive like crude oil but The Thirst
was so overwhelming that they just
continued to drink the city's vaporized
moisture had ascended into the
stratosphere here it had absorbed the
stratospheric sot and radioactive
particles from the bomb's cloud and
begun to descend again it was extremely
toxic ingesting even small amounts of it
delivered a deadly do of radioactive
material whilst Akiko survived Asami
would quickly succumb to radiation
sickness and
perish a boy named Hiroshi ETO was in
school when the bomb was
dropped 5 minutes after the explosion he
managed to emerge unscathed through the
roof of his collapsed School hirosi
stepped out into a mist of black fog all
the other boys around hirosi appeared to
be severely burned the toxic black mist
and the Black Rain sent him and about 40
other students running to a nearby
swimming pool crying for
help on the swimming pool's floor
Hiroshi saw rows of school girls slumped
at the water's edge the girls were dying
one after another most of them wore only
white shirts their dark pants had
ignited when the flash came and had
burned away along with the skin on their
legs when he later climbed out of the
pool everywhere he looked he saw burned
school children moving in an eerie
silence like automatons they had
blistered eyes and lips covered in black
ash they appeared to be resigned
strangely lifeless despite still being
alive hosi looked across the river to
the opposite Shore and he saw hordes of
people fleeing from the direction of the
violent fires falling into the river
like swarms of insects Riverside houses
began collapsing into the water and soon
the people in the river were overtaken
by burning
debris the ground around hirosi began to
erupt into spontaneous fires panicked he
ran in random directions and desperate
to get away
a 13-year-old boy named yoshikata also
managed to survive the collapse of his
school cocooned in an air pocket he was
able to push his way to the surface
almost immediately after the blast and
he saw a massive mushroom cloud towering
over the
city all around him among the bricks and
the rubble he saw other children half
buried and dying dozens of burned hands
reached out grabing at Yoshi's feet and
shins desperate to get his
attention this was too much for him and
Yoshi Kata panicked he kicked out at the
hands reaching up from the rubble and he
ran as fast as he could into the
smoke nearly 2 kilomet away from the
hypo Center Mrs Sasaki was in her garden
when the flash occurred she emerged from
the rubble holding her 2-year-old
daughter s Darko in her hands somehow
they were both
uninjured years later Mrs Sasaki felt
grateful that her daughter didn't
remember much of what they'd seen that
day she never spoke to her daughter
about the horrors that they'd witnessed
especially the tap dancer who'd ran past
them moments after the
explosion initially Mrs Sasaki thought
that everyone around them had
disappeared then she noticed a strange
man climbing out of a the collapsed
house he got up and ran past them
towards the curtain of whirling smoke
and
Sparks he didn't cry for help and he
appeared to be unaware of anything or
anyone around him the only sound he made
was a rmic click clacking as he ran down
the road as if he was tap dancing down
the street with metal Taps on his
shoes then Mrs haki noticed that he
wasn't wearing any shoes in instead
where his feet should have been there
were two bony
stumps as he ran these protruding bones
tapped against the pavement chipping and
fracturing with each step soon the man
disappeared into a cloud of smoke and
the nightmarish tapping faded into the
distance a soldier named nishioka was
stationed outside the city he heard the
bomb going off and he saw a huge
mushroom cloud Rising above
Hiroshima shortly afterwards from the
direction of the city a train came
running in all of the Train's coaches
had lost their Windows most of the
passengers inside were burned to death
except for a few stunned people who
gathered by the empty Windows looking
out with blank Expressions on their
faces the coaches were all smoldering at
least two were completely engulfed in
Flames the soldiers looked on stunned as
the train rolled past them it didn't
stop the engineer at the front looked
like a scarecrow his clothes blooded and
tattered he leaned out of the Portside
window vomiting out a foaming stream of
bile the soldiers managed to stop the
train and they took command of the
locomotive they decided to head back
towards Hiroshima the soldier nishioka
went with them within minutes nishioka
and the other soldiers encountered lines
of people walking along the railroad
tracks away from the city the engine
pressed on blowing its whistle to clear
people off the
tracks the further they got into the
city the worse the burns on the Walking
wounded Gods there were more and more
people looking like The Walking Dead
shuffling along constantly murmuring
water water
they moved in a mechanical manner
forming long Trails one horribly burned
person after another slowly navigating
through the smoke due to their burned
blackened skin and their automaton likee
movements many survivors would later
refer to them as the ant
Walkers another Soldier private shigo
shimoyama was about six blocks away from
that the hypo Center when the explosion
came as look would have it he just
stepped into a concrete reinforced
Warehouse the force of the wave tossed
him against the back wall saving him
from being crushed under a collapsing
roof outside the warehouse his fellow
soldiers had all vanished in the blink
of an
eye when he regained Consciousness to
his horror he discovered that he was
hanging about a meter above the ground
his arms and shoulders were impaled on
nails ruding from the
wall when he finally broke free and
emerged from the rubble he saw in the
distance a group of bureaucrats
struggling through the
wreckage these bureaucrats were carrying
a life-sized portrait of the emperor
away from the burning remains of the
castle then on the river shigo noticed a
naval boat navigating through the de and
bodies the boat slowed down and stopped
the crew gathered on deck to salute the
portrait of the emperor this gesture
seemed to stir something within the ant
people and many of these horribly burned
people turned towards the portrait and
bowed their
heads when he finally turned around
shigo found himself standing face to
face with a horse this horse was Strang
looking it was pinkish white and it took
Shiro a moment to realize what he was
looking at all of the horse's skin and
fur were gone this was caused by
something known as de gloving a
phenomenon where the skin when exposed
to a wave of compressed supersonic air
is pulled off like a leather glove being
pulled from a hand the animal didn't
appear to be in any pain but the sight
horrified sharo so much that he began to
run away from the area every time he
glanced back over his shoulder he saw
this skinless horse following him
staring at the soldier
pleadingly before the explosion father
Matias heard two planes overhead revving
their engines as if they were trying to
escape something he doesn't know what
happened after that when he regained
Consciousness he realized that he joined
hundreds of other dazed half naked
people and he'd become one of the ant
Walkers he looked at the man in front of
him and he noticed that his was hanging
Loosely from his back like pieces of
tattered shirts all of the Flesh on his
forearms had been Stripped Away
revealing blackened
bones father maias aimlessly followed
this Walking Corpse until he bumped into
the frame of a charred street
car inside the car father Matias saw the
scorched remains of a family then he
noticed movements an unborn baby
struggling inside its dead mother
mother the horrified father Matias
stumbled away he didn't know where he
was going he just wanted to get away
from the smoldering car as fast as he
could he noticed more than a dozen ant
people had formed a line behind him and
began to follow he didn't know how long
he'd been walking but suddenly a noise
from above caught his attention he
looked up and he saw the corner of a
three-story brick apartment building it
was the only structure still standing
three naked children clung to the top of
the tower screaming hysterically one of
them seemed to be completely covered in
blood father maias continued walking as
he reached the river the first rescue
boats began pulling corpses from the
water waiting in he noticed a woman
carrying her child towards him pleading
for the infant to open his eyes when the
woman stepped into the water her skin
and muscles began to Fall Away from Her
Bones at this moment father matias's
numbness began to crack and he was
overwhelmed by a sense of guilt that's
when he started to think about the three
children that he'd seen on top of the
tower every day for the rest of his life
he wondered what had happened to them
each night they were the last thing that
he thought about before falling asleep
and his dreams were plagued with their
screams
suomi yamagushi a ship designer was
nearly 3 kilomet from Ground Zero when a
bright flash almost blinded him
instinctively he dove into an irrigation
ditch and covered his head the ground
shook violently tossing him nearly a
meter into the
air when yamagushi looked out burning
paper and smoldering clothes were
falling from the
sky one side of his body felt intensely
hard
the Exposed Skin on his left arm was
burnt Brown and looked like an
overcooked
chicken he was suddenly overcome by an
intense thirst and he ran towards the
river despite the coppery scent of blood
and the presence of floating corpses
Yamaguchi drank the
water he noticed that the bodies in the
river appeared to have unnaturally long
arms almost twice as long as normal a
upon closer inspection he realized that
the Flesh on their shoulders and arms
had melted and peeled away from the
bones floating on the surface of the
water like broken cobwebs still
connected to the people by their
fingertips by the river he encountered a
group of children who he would later
refer to as the pierced boys at first he
thought that their burned and lacerated
backs had sprouted some kind of strange
hair but as he looked closer he realized
that these weren't hairs long thin
blackened glass shards had been driven
into the boy's flesh by the shock wave
he tried to help these children advising
them to pull these shards from each
other's backs but this proved to be
extremely difficult their children began
to grow weaker and they seemed to be
dying one after
another all around him people moved in a
zombie like fashion driven by an
overwhelming thirst they lay down at the
river and drank the foul smelling water
before wandering off aimlessly into the
Smoke by this point Yamaguchi no longer
cared about his military duties or the
war efforts all he wanted to do was to
get home to see his wife and son as he
wed through the devastated landscape he
saw one horror after another a mother
singing a lby to her dead child a
horse's head burning with an aery blue
green flame
he had to cross two rivers on his way
home one of these Rivers no longer had a
bridge but there were so many corpses
piled up in the shallows that they
formed a kind of Natural Dam that he had
to cross the experience of crawling over
these burned bodies to cross the river
was extremely traumatic for the rest of
his life he would revisit that bridge in
his nightmares
walking in a State of Shock akah hero
Takahashi a 14-year-old boy was only
madly burned compared to the rest of the
population he followed street car tracks
past a wrecked corpse filled trolleys
until he heard a friend calling his name
as he headed off towards his friend a
line of ant people began to form behind
him his friend was so severely poisoned
by radiation that his teeth were falling
out akahira would later say that before
he died his belly turned purple and he
vomited a continuous stream of blue gray
substance on his journey through the
city akah hero saw many disturbing
things he encountered a woman with her
eyeball dangling on her cheek and he saw
a skinned horse with exposed bloody
muscle lying dead in a waterfill
system as walked through the devastation
dozens of people followed him although
most of them no longer looked like
humans he was so horrified by these ant
Walkers that he tried to distance
himself from them but it seemed that
with every Twist and Turn of his journey
new nightmares awaited him he ran past
the body of a young mother who had been
completely de gloved with her screaming
infant lying next to her this baby
somehow was still alive despite its
entire skin being turned to
charcoal and this wasn't the last or
even the worst horror that akihiro
encountered on his way he would later
say that there were other sites that
were so horrifying that words can't
describe
them the aftermath of the Hiroshima and
Nagasaki bombings was as harrowing as
the
explosions the cities were reduced to
smoldering ruins with just a few
structures left standing and almost no
life the initial death toll from the
blasts was staggering but the long-term
consequences were equally
devastating the survivors known as hiusa
faced not only the physical horror of
their injuries but also the lasting
effects of radiation exposure many
survivors developed acute radiation
sickness which manifested as nausea hair
loss and severe burns that healed slowly
if at all
in the weeks and months that followed
the death toll continued to rise as
infections organ failure and Cancers
claimed many more
lives the cleanup and recovery process
was an extremely Grim task rescue
workers many of whom were soldiers and
volunteers had to navigate through the
charred remains of the city and all of
the horrors that it had to
offer when soldiers sent by the war
Ministry arrived at the city carrying
stretches they couldn't understand why
they had been sent because there was not
a living thing in sight when they
entered Ground Zero they found a statue
like figure of a naked man standing with
his arms and legs spread apart the man
had been turned into a brittle pillar of
charcoal crumbling at the slightest
touch he must have climbed out of a
shelter shortly before the blast driven
by the hot fumes only to be killed and
carbonized instantly where he
stood they encountered a young petite
woman carrying the bloated corpse of a
dead child on her back she seemed to be
completely insane screaming
incomprehensibly her shouts getting
louder and louder over
time they encountered another woman
whose mind appeared to have been
completely wiped clean she appeared to
be uninjured except for a large slash
across her belly the soldiers propped up
against the wall where she spent the
night in the morning they found her
sitting in a pool of her own blood it
seemed as if she'd spent the night
carefully trying to push her own
intestines back inside
herself it was at this point that they
noticed that she was pregnant a baby
only halfway to term had emerged from
her belly along with her intestines and
it hung lifelessly from her body when
soldiers approached to try and help her
she gave them a hideous smile before
collapsing and
dying the psychological toll on The
Rescuers and the survivors was profound
for years afterwards many struggled with
the haunting memories of the dead and
dying the Eerie Silence of the
devastated cities and the
incomprehensible sense of
loss even now decades later these scars
both physical and emotional remain

so I hope you found this video
interesting I think this provides just a
tiny snapshot of the kind of Horrors
that people saw in the aftermath of the
herish my bomb for every horror story
you've heard today there were probably
hundreds of thousands more that remain
Untold thank you for watching this video
and thank you very much to everyone who
is supporting the channel it really does
help me make more videos like this so
thank you very much to all of
you if you're in the mood for more
videos like this I can recommend my Unit
731 video or my video about the horrors
of the sa Commandos of outwits I'll put
a link to those on screen now thank you
once again for watching and until next
time goodbye
