Doug's connection to the A-Bomb Dome

A few comments related to the history of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and my personal connection to someone who was very involved with making the bomb dropped here. The video location is plotted here.

I should saw the building when i had the chance. Did they clean the building or did they leave it as it was

[caldwdo]

They have left the building much like it was in Aug 1945. Efforts to maintain it for 60 years have been to preserve how it looked on the day the bomb dropped.

It's amazing how destructive atom bombs are.

[caldwdo]

Thanks for noticing my video so quickly. We are fortunate that only two have been used so far in human history to end a war. Today's nuclear weapons are far more destructive.

i cant even imagine what those people went thru when the bomb was dropped. What i cant understand is how did the japanese soldiers did what they did to the chinese in WW2 because all the japanese people i met are really nice. They didnt just shoot people they found ways to kill in the worst way raped and made sons rape their mothers, stuck sticks and up girls...
