Hiroshima Atomic BombIng: Why did a 19-year-old Japanese girl escape the heart of the explosion just 260 meters away?
At 8:15 on August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb "Little Boy" was successfully exploded in Hiroshima, Japan. It was the first atomic bomb in human history to be put into actual combat. Its destructive power is super great. According to statistics, 88,000 people were reduced to ashes that day, 48,000 buildings were razed to the ground, and many Hiroshima citizens were disabled for life because of the aftermath of the nuclear bomb!
Amazingly, a 19-year-old girl in Hiroshima who is only 260 fans away from the heart is safe! Why?
The girl's name was Akiko Takakura. Japan launched a war of aggression against the outside world, resulting in insufficient manpower at home, and many jobs were replaced by women. Akiko Takakura is no exception. At the end of his studies, he worked at Hiroshima Bank. Mainly responsible for the insurance business, often go to the underground vault to check gold, insurance, etc.
By the way, the vault is located more than ten meters underground.
The "little boy" threw himself at Hiroshima, and a white light lit up, as dazzling as the sun, followed by a loud rumbling sound, like a great earthquake.
At this time, Akiko Takakura was in the vault below. A huge shock wave knocked her over, causing her to faint on the ground.
When she wakes up, Akiko Takakura finds herself surrounded by ruins, the painful groans of her colleagues, and the bloodied or charred corpses.
Living death!
Akiko Takakura was admitted to the hospital. After recovering, he was sent to the countryside for convalescence.
Later, Takakura Akiko learned that she was only 260 meters away from the center of the atomic bomb!
marvel!
Scientists conducted an investigation and analysis, and the front of the bank and itself, are reinforced concrete. It effectively avoids radiation and high temperatures, and slows down the power of shock waves.
In addition, Akiko Takakura was located underground, and she survived.
The moment the atomic bomb exploded, it reached the power of 15,000 tons of TNT! Most of the people were vaporized by the high temperature of the nuclear bomb in an instant, leaving only a black mark on the ground.
After some survivors experienced the nuclear bomb, due to radiation, sequelae frequently appeared, and some survivors who could not bear the pain of illness chose to cut themselves off.
Akiko Takakura was indeed lucky. Later, after the doctor's diagnosis, she had completely recovered from the nuclear explosion and could work again.
As a result, Akiko Takakura returned to Hiroshima to participate in the reconstruction work.
On August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced his unconditional surrender. Akiko Takakura is once again back to normal life.
Later, Akiko Takakura worked in a nursery school, got married and had children, and lived a happy and happy life.
However, the nuclear radiation syndrome was still manifested in Akiko Takakura's later years. Frail and sick, spinal tumor, myelodys syndrome...
The President of the United States gave a speech entitled "No Wronged Souls Under the Atomic Bomb." Yes? Non-also?
