Eternal Echoes: Unraveling the Legacy of Hiroshima's Atomic Catastrophe
The atomic bomb's explosion was a moment of enormous significance, as "Little Boy" descended to an altitude of approximately 1,900 feet or 580 meters. This event triggered a nuclear chain reaction, culminating in a blinding flash that engulfed Hiroshima, Japan. The ensuing blast generated searing heat that reached an astonishing 12,600 °F or 7,000 °C, setting off a destructive fireball and a powerful shockwave. This catastrophic incident eradicated everything within a radius of about a quarter-mile, resulting in the tragic instantaneous loss of 70,000 lives. Those who managed to survive the initial explosion were thrust into a harrowing struggle against agonizing burns, the effects of radiation poisoning, and the relentless grip of impending death.
