I ke kakahiaka o ʻAukake 6, 1945, ua noho kahi kamaʻāina o Hiroshima ma luna o nā ʻanuʻu pōhaku ma waho o ka Sumitomo Bank i ka wā i kī ʻia ai ka pōkā atomika mua ma luna o ke kūlanakauhale. Ua paʻa ʻo ia i kahi koʻokoʻo e hele ana i kona lima ʻākau, a ʻo kona lima hema paha ma o kona umauma.
Eia nō naʻe, i loko o kekona kekona, ua hoʻopau ʻia ʻo ia e ka ʻōlinolino o kahi mea kaua atomic. ʻO kahi aka eerie i hoʻolei ʻia e kona kino i kū i ona lā, kahi hoʻomanaʻo weliweli no kāna manawa hope loa. ʻAʻole ʻo ia wale nō, akā ʻo nā manawa hope loa o nā haneli haneli mau kānaka e like me ia ua paʻi ʻia i kēia ala i ka ʻāina ʻo Hiroshima.
Ma nā wahi a puni o ka ʻoihana ʻo Hiroshima, hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia mau silhouette hoʻoweliweli - nā kahakaha mai nā puka aniani, nā kiwikā, a me kēlā poʻe kūmākena i loko o nā kekona hope loa. ʻO nā aka nukelea o ke kūlanakauhale i makemake ʻia e hoʻopau ʻia ua kālai ʻia i nā hale a me nā ala hele wāwae.
I kēia lā, lawelawe kēia mau aka nukelea i mau hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo no nā ola helu ʻole i kū i ko lākou make i kēia hana kaua mua ʻole.
Nā aka nukelea o Hiroshima
ʻO ke keikikāne liʻiliʻi, ka pōkā atomika i hoʻopahu aku i 1,900 ft ma luna aʻe o ke kūlanakauhale, ua hoʻomālamalama i kahi kukui uila ikaika e hoʻā ana i nā mea āpau i pili. ʻO ka papa o ka pōkā pahū i loko o ke ahi ma 10,000 ℉, a ʻo nā mea āpau ma waena o 1,600 ft o ka wahi pahū i hoʻopau ʻia i loko o kahi sekona i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia. ʻAneʻane ʻo nā mea āpau i loko o hoʻokahi mile o ke kaohi hopena i lilo i puʻu ʻōpala.
He ikaika loa ka wela o ka detonation a hū ʻo ia i nā mea āpau i ka wahi pahū, e waiho ana i nā aka radioactive o nā ʻōpala kanaka i kahi o kahi kamaʻāina.
ʻO ka Sumitomo Bank ma kahi o 850 ft ka mamao mai kahi i pili ai ʻo Little Boy me ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Hiroshima. ʻAʻole hiki ke loaʻa i kekahi e noho ana ma kēlā wahi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum ʻaʻole wale nā mea kuleana no nā aka eerie o ke kūlanakauhale ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pōpō atomic. ʻO nā alapiʻi, nā puka aniani, nā kiwikā wai nui, a me nā paikikala holo holo i hopu ʻia i ke ala o ka pā, a waiho i nā kiʻi ma ke kua.
ʻAʻole ia he mea nui inā ʻaʻohe mea e ālai ana i ka wela mai ka waiho ʻana i kahi paʻi ma nā papa o nā hale.
ʻO ke aka i hoʻolei ʻia e kēlā me kēia mea e noho ana ma nā ʻanuʻu pali, ʻo ia paha ke aka kaulana o nā aka Hiroshima. ʻO ia kekahi o nā manaʻo kikoʻī loa o ka pāhū, a noho ʻo ia ma laila no ʻaneʻane mau makahiki he ʻelua a hiki i ka neʻe ʻana i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Hoʻomanao Hoʻomanaʻo Maluhia ʻo Hiroshima.
Hiki paha i nā mea kipa ke kū kokoke me nā aka Hiroshima weliweli, kahi mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai i nā pōpilikia o nā pahū nukili. Ua hoʻopau mālie ka ua a me ka makani i kēia mau paʻi, i hala paha ma kahi o kekahi mau makahiki a i nā makahiki he ʻumi, e hilinaʻi ana i kahi i waiho ai.
ʻO ka luku ʻia ma Hiroshima
ʻO ka luku i ukali ʻia ma hope o ka pōpoki atomika o Hiroshima i hele mua ʻole ʻia. Ua manaʻo ʻia hoʻokahi hapahā o nā kamaʻāina o ke kūlanakauhale i make i ka pōkā, me ka hapaha ʻelua e make ana i nā mahina i ukali iā ia.
Ua hōʻeha ka pohā a hiki i ʻekolu mile ka mamao mai ke kikowaena kūlanakauhale. Ma kahi o ʻelua a me ka hapa mile ka mamao mai ka hypocenter o ka pahū, hū ke ahi a wāwahi ʻia ke aniani i hoʻokahi tausani ʻāpana.
