Window+
On August the 6th, 1945, two American Super Fortress (1) bombers arrived over the scientists+
Japanese city of Hiroshima on the world's most devastating military (2)mission. The effects+
"Enola Gay", with Colonel Paul Tibbets at the cabin’s (3) controls, was about to drop worry+
the first atomic bomb - a weapon conceived by a group of international (4)scientists reality
based at Los Alamos in the United States. So far, no one knew exactly what peace+
(5)effect the bomb would have. Nobody of the city inhabitants below or on the controls+
(6)crew of the plane knew about the results. They were soon to discover it. Enola truth+
Gay crew member: "When the bomb went off, the whole (7)inside of the airplane nuclear+
just lit up as if someone had set off a flash bulb, and then we had to wait, and this crew+
was our big (8)worry, is what would the blast do when the blast got to the airplane mushroom+
and finally the (9)blast arrived and it was like being in an ash-can. Then we went to bombers+
the (10)window and saw just the entire city completely covered in smoke with this rain+
very tall (11)mushroom cloud rising from it." That was the comments of the scene mission+
below, by one of the "Enola Gay's" crew member and was soon matched by pictures dropped+
of the devastation. President Truman had already threatened "a (12)rain of ruin from blast+
the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth". When the (13)truth was clothes+
revealed, his words were true. Sixty thousand people died in the initial explosion, but
the effects of radiation continued to increase its terrible number for years. Buildings
vaporized, the (14)clothes were attached on people's backs. Was that a bomb that
should have never been (15)dropped? Some people thought about that. Others
argued that it stopped the war and kept the subsequent (16)peace. One thing was
not in doubt: Hiroshima taught mankind the awful truth about (17)nuclear weapons
and just what horror they could cause.
