Impact of the Atomic Bomb The after effects of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Mushroom Cloud The atomic cloud (mushroom cloud) produced just after the burst is one of the most distinctive characteristics of an atomic bomb.

Area of destruction

Hiroshima blown to bits This one of the few structures in Hiroshima to survive

Just after the bombing This photo was taken 3 hours after the bombing – just to the right is downtown Hiroshima – a raging fire is burning and both ends of the bridge is filled with bombing victims, many from a local girls school nearby

More scenes of devastation 300-year-old tree uprooted

Destruction near the hypocenter

School destroyed by the blast

Human toll of the bombing The heat was so powerful that it literally burned the pattern of these women’s clothing onto their skin

The heat of the blast The heat of the bomb was so hot that it left imprints on the concrete of human bodies – it’s believed that someone was sitting on these steps when the bomb went off

Instant Death This boy was about 700 meters from the hypocenter of the blast and was burned to death.

Memorial to the Victims In the background, you can see the domed building that is a monument to the victims and as a sign of hope for world peace
