If the footage is fake?
Dude, you can physically go there and see the damage.
Yes, Firebombs.. Look at docu "Fog of War" on McNamara ; Listen carefully, he will not speak about nukes, but states it was firebombing that was "worse" - https://freedocumentaries.org/documentary/the-fog-of-war - I saw the film when it was first released in NYC and the director was there. He said you could not tell from the movie itself but that 99 out 100 questions asked the General, only one was answered.. Most of the interview was silence. The director has to work a long time to compile an entire movie.
Some experts have plainly stated that it simply looks like massive fire-bombing. But it is just my opinion after having checked into it a bit. Seems plausible for several reasons but that's just me. Edit: By footage I mean films of nuclear explosions, tests, not Nagasaki.
The Hiroshima bomb wasn't that big. The shockwave wasn't that powerful, but Japanese construction was weak. Mostly, the release of energy by the bomb took the form of a massive fireball. Hence, why it all looked like firebombs. The radioactivity and radiation disease was very real. And the eyewitness testimony was pretty consistent. A single bomb on a parachute, exploding in the air into a point of white light that became a fireball brighter than the sun.
It's actually fucked up because unlike the pure energy (allegedly) annihilation of a big H bomb, the Hiroshima bomb was just a big ol fireball.
An entire downtown area was engulfed in it, and people who were somehow sheltered still became engulfed in pure fire. There were tens of thousands who jumped into the river to put out the flames and the river ended up filled with bodies. Look it up, not a pretty picture.
Actually in real firebombings small rivers would sometimes actually boil so people would jump in them to put the fire out only to be boiled alive. Babies would melt and fuse into their mother's backs. Peoples' skin would fall off from like "5th" degree burns.
Sick shit. At least the Axis used gas and bullets to kill people rather than recreating a literal inferno on earth opening the portal to hades.

it would be nice to believe that. but so much other horrific shit is real, a big nasty ole bomb seems the least of it. I'm not so afraid of nuclear war as much as more incidents like fukishima. All our old nuke plants are ticking time bombs and we enthusiastically put them in our front yard.
