When the bomb was originally used the scientists made educated estimations on the after effect of the atom bomb on the land and on the people. They thought people would be safe with in a 50 mile radius and thought the radiation would "die out" within 10 years. Later they concluded it could be 50-100 years before no radiation would be detected.

It amazed the physicians of the gravity of the injuries and the "vaporization" of thousands of people. For the next ten years, people who had been exposed to the radiation died from radiation poisoning and cancers. If they did not die right away from radiation sickness they died within months from serious burns. Some of the burn victims survived but they suffered for the rest of their lives.

A team of Japanese and American scientist are still monitoring the after effects of the radiation fallout.

One of the sad things that happened was a monsoon hit Nagasaki several weeks after the bomb damaged the city. This hard rain and wind further scattered the radiation poison.

Why would you not be able to prove that an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima using the scientific method?

The dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima is a historical event, not a scientific experiment that can be replicated or tested. While scientific methods can be used to study the aftermath and effects of the bomb, the actual event itself cannot be scientifically proven in the same way as a hypothesis in a controlled experiment.


Do you feel that the US should have used the Atomic Bomb as a means to end World War 2?

Although using such a devastating weapon is always questioned, I believe the U.S. was justified to use the Atomic Bomb. Even the Japanese citizens were told to fight. By dropping the Atomic bomb, there was potentially less death, since no U.S. soldiers were harmed. The citizens would not have surrendered. Japan was not going to surrender, and so the Atomic bomb saved thousands of American lives, and shortened that terrible war
