Hiroshima survivor: “We had no idea what happened” when the bomb dropped August 6, 2024
People’s World
“An H-bomb releases radiation in a fission-fusion-fission sequence,” explained Dr. Gwen DuBois of the Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility. “The temperature can be as high as a hundred million degrees Centigrade” inside the uranium or plutonium bomb’s thermal blast and ensuing fireball.
“It creates flash burns and flash blindness. It collapsed buildings, and anything that wasn’t tied down, including people, is picked up and thrown around.” And anyone within half an hour of the fast-moving fireball in Hiroshima “was asphyxiated.”
