since were on the subject of chernobyl,
Id like to acknowledge the selfless sacrifice of those who volunteered for the immediate clean up.
It was one of the most epic displays of bravery ever.
those men received lethal doses of radiation in just a couple of minutes, and many died horrible agonizing deaths.

They picked up pieces of radioactive debris with their bare hands and used wheel barrows to remove it.


Indeed pumpkin works..indeed once again. I am not sure many of these young men actually knew the full extent of what they were getting into but it required bravery nonetheless. Courage under fire.

I join you in saluting these sacrifices of these peoples in there struggle to contain this disaster.

The video of the helicopter pilot interview is forever etched in my mind as representative of the effort by all of these folks. I still see his interview and the images of him hovering his helicopter over the uncontained pile and dumping filler on top of this heavily radiating material.

Thanks again,
Orangetom

What is interesting if one reads the accounts of the bombing of Japan in WW2 is that there was actually more damage done by conventional bombs than by these two Nuclear devices.

Conventional High explosive and Incendiary Bombs did so much more damage to Japanese industry and cities than did these weapons. The accounts of these conventional raids are a horror to read. It was the same with certain raids in Europe.
THese were huge multi plane raids made possible by large bomb loads and the speed by which these new B29 bombers could fly when under way. This made most Japanese air interceptors/air defenses useless.

What is also very telling and indicative that something very different was afoot is how few planes actually went on this raid to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As I recall it was only some three or four planes. The bomber itself carrying the weapon...two or three spotter planes to record camera footage and still photos. As I recall the narrative...the spotter planes stayed far away on the outskirts while the Enola Gay went ahead to history.
Also I believe they were not entirely sure with the first bomb that the plane...Enola Gay would survive the explosion and shock wave.

There were not enough planes on this raid to cause such massive damage with conventional high explosives or Incendiary weapons.

Also...though it has been years since I read the accounts...one of these cities Hiroshima or Nagasaki was actually a secondary or alternate target. Pathfinider planes went ahead to certain cities in the target group to check the weather. One of the targets was judged to overcast and the alternate city was selected and the planes were rerouted to this alternate target.

Nonetheless...there were not sufficient planes sent on these missions to cause such damage with conventional weapons.
Just another facet of looking at this history.

Thanks,
Orangetom

No evidence like this

warning graphic

Tell that to the light that was so intense it burnt shadows into pavement.

and the hundreds of thousands of people with genetic birth defects, or the hundreds of thousands who suffered radiation poisoning and had to watch their skin stop retaining their blood and guts.

Trying to be dismissive about nuclear arms is like spitting in everyone of those poor souls faces.

Which sounds more simple nuclear arms exist or every nation that has them is making it up so that they can keep from getting bombed by other countires fake nukes?
