Hiroshima Hiroshima was the primary target of the first atomic bomb mission. The mission went smoothly in every respect. The weather was good, and the crew and equipment functioned perfectly. In every detail, the attack was carried out exactly as planned, and the bomb performed exactly as expected. The bomb exploded over Hiroshima at 8:15 on the morning of August 6, 1945. About an hour previously, the Japanese early warning radar net had detected the approach of some American aircraft headed for the southern part of Japan. The alert had been given and radio broadcasting stopped in many cities, among them Hiroshima. The planes approached the coast at a very high altitude. At nearly 8:00 A.M., the radar operator in Hiroshima determined that the number of planes coming in was very small - probably not more than three - and the air raid alert was lifted. The normal radio broadcast warning was given to the people that it might be advisable to go to shelter if B-29's were actually sighted, but no raid was expected beyond some sort of reconnaissance. At 8:15 A.M., the bomb exploded with a blinding flash in the sky, and a great rush of air and a loud rumble of noise extended for many miles around the city; the first blast was soon followed by the sounds of falling buildings and of growing fires, and a great cloud of dust and smoke began to cast a pall of darkness over the city. At 8:16 A.M., the Tokyo control operator of the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation noticed that the Hiros...

Biden pays tribute to Hiroshima bomb survivors without apology

HIROSHIMA, Japan— The patter of rain had subsided on a gray Friday morning as President Biden and other Group of 7 leaders arrived at the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima, the first of two Japanese cities where American planes dropped atomic bombs in August 1945, laying waste to both and leading to the end of World War II. Tanaka Satoshi, a 79-year-old hibakusha, or survivor of the atomic bombings, watched closely on television. Biden, the leader of the country that carried out the world’s only nuclear attacks, stood in front of the Cenotaph, a memorial shaped to resemble a Japanese dwelling. The arched monument is designed to metaphorically shelter the After Biden and his foreign counterparts placed wreaths of white flowers at the foot of the memorial, Hiroshima Mayor Matsui Kazumi explained the carefully worded inscription: “Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.” “I think we can now say they have made the promise that they will never repeat the same wrongs,” Satoshi told The Times. “And I hope Biden takes this promise with him.” The ceremony opened the G-7 summit, where leaders of some of the world’s most powerful economies planned to discuss pressing global issues, including the war in Ukraine, climate change and the global economy’s dependence on China. But their visit to Hiroshima was a reminder that the threat of nuclear destruction is closer now than perhaps any time since the Cold War. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made ov...
