Although it was 64 years ago. We must remember and remind the atomic destruction. This happened on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
happened also at the end of war. Probably many young people and many young people my age do not know or recognize this nuclear attack ordered by Harry Truman, former U.S. President against the people of Japan. Surely
Harry Truman, President of the United States number 13, was taken seriously belong to the Ku Klux Klan.
I can not stop it. Hiroshima and Nagasaki seem too real and too new. I can remember yet (although he was born), the day the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress with the name of the pilot's mother, released Little Boy, an explosive 5-ton uranium on Hiroshima (6 August 1945).
Three days later (August 9, 1945), and if it was not obvious, Recupero another plane, with the funny name of Bock's Car (by its original pilot), launched Fat Man, which in English is fat man more complex by a bomb plutonium implosion on Nagasaki.
This I have not met in a history class is over, I remember hearing the track in a university classroom, in a matter of chemistry.
In Hiroshima, Little Boy killed nearly 80,000 people instantly, and seriously injured were an equal number. It is said that (for those fans of fiction) in this place was created a fireball that reached more than a million degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, Fat Man exploded and wiped out 74,000 people in Nagasaki, with the force of 22,000 tons of TNT. Another 75,000 were seriously injured.
Shortly after the bombing, thousands killed by poison, radiation and other diseases caused by this attack. This persisted for months, and then for years.
when we do not know if to marches or acts "memorial" to this fact, remember all this or if you know it. 64 years later, Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not serve so many symbols of peace.
While most global trade is the arms, photographs, testimonies are staying on the shelf of libraries. Yes, this is also important.
terror of nuclear annihilation or terrorism seems to have disappeared. Even though the nine nuclear powers - the U.S., Russia, France, Britain, China, Israel, Pakistan, India and North Korea - have together more than 27,000 operational nuclear weapons between them, enough to destroy several planets
Little Boy was a 15-kiloton warhead. Most of the warheads in the U.S. arsenal current are 100 or 300 kilotons. Unthinkable, inescapable truth. You need to keep remembering, but also wary and demanding.

64 years of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb
Interview: Rafael de la Rubia, World March of Peace (Japan )
In cities around the world, thousands of people remembered the victims of release of the first nuclear bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The launch of this powerful nuclear weapon killed 140 000 people. Despite the few international treaties and conventions are to achieve real progress reducing weapons, let alone disappear.
