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.
