Some really nice photos I have not seen.

Hiroshima, 64 years ago - The Big Picture - Boston.com

Great Photos,

I wonder why many of the trees appear to have minor damage when buildings and vehicles near them were completely destroyed?

Very nice indeed.

I was reading some of the comments on that link. Good grief what is being taught these days?

I thought the same thing. All our children are taught is that they were dropped and the plane that dropped them. It is all buttered up. I specificly remember that I got into an argument with one of my high school history teachers (who had gone to school to teach Math by the way) who told us that the Enola Gay had dropped both bombs and that both the Pilot and Co-pilot had commited suicide over the atrocious acts they commited. It wasn't a good argument, though I won

Amazing photos, Ike. The destructive power of this one weapon was incredible. I remember see photos similar to these back in the 50's when I was in elementary school. I believe they were in Life magazine. It's hard to imagine what it must have been like.

I was disturbed by some of the comments too.

You would think that it was the US who started the war and only wanted to kill civilians.

But as I have learned in my political science classes, you cannot debate people who think like that. They just dont process facts, and are like finger puppets as they spew the same old propoganda.
