Description | Hiroshima urban area 1.5 seconds after the A-bomb explosion Drawn by Torao Izuhara August 6, 1945, 8:15 a.m. Approx. 610m from the hypocenter Riverside of the Otagawa River Artist's comments: “A red fireball was said to have been seen when the atomic bomb exploded, but I didn't see that. When I looked outside the window, with the room flashing like a present-day strobe light, I just saw a red fire disk flying at about 100 meters, trailing black smoke, which then disappeared beyond the roof of a two-story house.” |
