Atomic Bomb Dropped on Hiroshima

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, marked one of the most devastating and pivotal moments in human history. At 8:15 AM, the U.S. B-29 bomber *Enola Gay* released the uranium-based bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion unleashed a force equivalent to approximately 15,000 tons of TNT, instantly killing an estimated 70,000 people, with tens of thousands more dying later from radiation exposure and injuries. The once-bustling city was reduced to ashes in seconds, leaving behind haunting remnants of buildings and a powerful legacy of suffering. The bombing of Hiroshima not only brought World War II closer to an end but also introduced the world to the terrifying capabilities of nuclear warfare. Survivors, known as Hibakusha, lived with severe health issues, both physical and psychological, for the rest of their lives. Their testimonies and the ruins of Hiroshima serve as somber reminders of the cost of war and the urgent need for peace. Today, Hiroshima stands as a city of resilience and a global symbol of peace, advocating for the abolition of nuclear weapons through education and remembrance. \#MomentsOfLife #MoofLife\_Moment #MoofLife #Hiroshima #HistoryMatters #PeaceNotWar #NeverAgain
