Ekuseni ngo-Agasti 6, 1945, isakhamuzi saseHiroshima sahlala ezitebhisini zamatshe ngaphandle kweBhange iSumitomo lapho ibhomu lokuqala le-athomu emhlabeni lihlaselwa edolobheni. Wayephethe induku yokuhamba ngesandla sakhe sokudla, kanti isandla sakhe sobunxele sasicishe esifubeni sakhe.
Kodwa-ke, ngemizuzwana nje, wadliwa ukugqama kwesikhali se-athomu. Isithunzi esesabekayo esaphonswa ngumzimba wakhe sasimmela, okuyisikhumbuzo esesabekayo somzuzu wakhe wokugcina. Hhayi yena kuphela, kepha nemizuzu yokugcina yamakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu abanjengaye ibhalwe ngale ndlela ezweni laseHiroshima.
Kuso sonke isifunda sebhizinisi saseHiroshima, bekungabonakala lezi zithombe eziphazamisayo - izinhlaka ezihlasimulisayo ezivela emawindini, kumaphayiphu, nakulabo bantu abadangele abebesemizuzwaneni yabo yokugcina. Izithunzi zenuzi zedolobha elalizocekelwa phansi manje lase lifakwe ezakhiweni nasezindleleni zokuhamba.
Namuhla, lezi zithunzi zenuzi zisebenza njengezikhumbuzo eziyikhulu zezimpilo ezingenakubalwa ezahlangabezana nokufa kwazo kulesi senzo sempi esingakaze sibonwe.
Izithunzi zenuzi zaseHiroshima
Umfana omncane, ibhomu le-athomu eliqhumise i-1,900 ft ngaphezulu kwedolobha, likhiphe isibani sokukhanya okukhulu, okubilayo okushisa konke okuhlangana nakho. Ubuso bebhomu buqhume amalangabi ngo-10,000 ℉, futhi noma yini engaphakathi kwe-1,600 ft yendawo yokuqhuma iqedwe ngokuphelele ngomzuzwana ohlukanisiwe. Cishe yonke into engamakhilomitha ukusuka endaweni yomthelela yaphenduka yaba yinqwaba yemfucumfucu.
Ukushisa kwebutho bekunamandla amakhulu kangangokuthi kwahlanza yonke into endaweni yokuqhuma, kwashiya izithunzi ezesabekayo zemfucumfucu yabantu lapho kwake kwaba khona izakhamizi.
Ibhange iSumitomo lalicishe libe ngu-850 ft ukusuka lapho uLittle Boy athinte khona nedolobha laseHiroshima. Akekho umuntu obengasatholakali ehleli kuleyo ndawo.
IHiroshima Peace Memorial Museum ithi akusibona kuphela abantu ababebhekene nezithunzi ezesabekayo zedolobha ngemuva kokuwa kwebhomu le-athomu. Izitebhisi, amafasitela amafasitela, ama-valve amakhulu amanzi, namabhayisikili agijimayo konke kubanjwe endleleni yokuqhuma, kwashiya imibhalo engemuva.
Kwakungenandaba ukuthi ngabe akukho lutho oluvimba ukushisa ekushiyeleni uphawu kuzakhiwo zezakhiwo.
Isithunzi esenziwe umuntu ohleli ezitebhisini zebhange mhlawumbe yaziwa kakhulu kwizithunzi zeHiroshima. Kungokunye kokuvela kakhulu kokuqhuma, futhi yahlala lapho cishe iminyaka engamashumi amabili yaze yathunyelwa eHiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
Izivakashi manje zingasondela eduze nezithunzi ezesabekayo zeHiroshima, ezisebenza njengezikhumbuzo zezinhlekelele zokuqhuma kwenuzi. Imvula nomoya kancane kancane kwachitha le mibhalo, okungenzeka ukuthi yahlala noma kuphi kusukela eminyakeni embalwa kuya eminyakeni eyishumi nambili, kuya ngokuthi ishiywe kuphi.
Ukubhujiswa eHiroshima
Umonakalo owalandela ukuqhuma kwamabhomu e-athomu eHiroshima wawungakaze ubonwe. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ingxenye eyodwa kwezine yezakhamizi zaleli dolobha zabulawa kuleli bhomu, kwathi ikota yesibili yafa ezinyangeni ezazilandela.
Lokhu kuqhuma kudale umonakalo omkhulu ebangeni elingamakhilomitha amathathu ukusuka enkabeni yedolobha. Cishe ibanga elingamakhilomitha amabili nohhafu ukusuka lapho kuqhuma khona ukuqhuma, kwaqubuka imililo kwaqhekeka izingilazi zaba izingcezu eziyinkulungwane.
