Hiroshima marks 70 years since atomic bomb - BBC News

Terrible anniversary.

On the TV, the BBC and Sky are avoiding mentioning the USA at all. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Scary isnt it , that it had to come to that .
The japs were nasty horrible folk though apparently

 

[On one]

It had to be done ,or the total death toll would have been even greater had we had to fight for every little Japanese island,because once the allies started setting foot on Japanese soil the death toll started sky rocketing

Had a clerk of works on a site back in early 70's and he worked on the railway in the 40's, hated the Japanese with a vengeance.

And of course America still bombing using the latest trend. Drones. Killing probably just as many to be fair too.

Shame on them eh

Apparently the nuclear bombs of today are a 100 times more powerful.
Now that's scary.
