Heartbreaking.

I hope this sort of thing is never repeated but knowing humans, I'm not too optimistic.

Thank you for sharing these photos and for the work you put into your site.

Alas, General Sherman's dictum stands the test of time.

Yes this is bad.
But if they hadn't of dropped them who knows
what kind of super weapons Japan could of created
if they were not stopped.
Amen to that.

Call me a devil’s advocate but, Japan couldn’t make any super weapon. They were burning, starving, and strangled of steel, fuel, food, rubber, all that would be needed to make any weapon. They lacked aircraft able to take off, pilots to fly them, and enough air superiority to make anything meaningful of it.

It is disheartening we had to drop nuclear weapon on fellow humans, however, the reason was not because they would have super weapons but instead that they would rather have every Japanese person kill themselves than to live in defeat. We did it to save them from themselves.
