New Delhi, India: May 29, 2008 – Released by Federation of God Believers - I have already tried to reduce my feelings into writing that an Atomic Bomb is the most powerful and dreadful weapon by my own knowledge, experience and observation relating to the ill fated Hiroshima.

Really one shivers to keep in mind their immediate as well as after effect, virtually one’s heart sinks while thinking of the massive damages to life, property and environment caused by the explosion of two Atomic Bombs.

Their remembrance is highly hurting and emotional, even though more than 52 years have passed; it still refreshes the wounds of Japanese, in particular, and noble human beings, in general.

I myself feel gloomy and miserable at times particularly when I recall how the Americans had dropped an Atomic Bomb over Hiroshima, equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT, instantly that   totally devastated 4-squre miles of the heart of the city of 3,43,000 inhabitants.

More than 2 lakh people were killed by Japanese estimate and over 60% city’s structures were totally destroyed or severely damaged. People even at 10 Kilometers were severely affected with physical deformities by its radioactive ash which reached them from the central point of the explosion and far off structures were also affected to a great extent.

The strong radioactive radiation contaminated the whole city killing all the people over there and those who escaped the death became more or less crippled for life time. Unable to move about; their life became worse than death, I met some of them, when I was to go to South Korea via Japan.

The detonation, in effect, whirled up a lot of dust/ water, and it was contaminated with radioactive which flew high in the air by several kilometers.  On the first day after the detonation, the radioactive dust/ water rained down and returned on the earth and contaminated a big floor space. This horrible rain is called the fallout.

As regards Head Wave, it came about the huge energy developed by the detonation. As a result, the detonation centre reached the temperature of several millions degrees centigrade and this took only a few seconds to snatch the life of all the people within a radius of 2 kilometers. Even at a distance of several kilometers, the people were also affected, some percentage died and some got the unprotected burns.

The Shock Wave destroyed all the buildings in a distance of about 2 kilometers and damaged other structures beyond this radius at many kilometers. Like the head wave, the Shock Wave just took only a few seconds to force the winds to move at the maximum speed of 1200 km per hour to cause unbelievable destruction without mercy and its cruelty was spread on all streets of the city.

If I talk of the Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EEP), it is made of extreme strong magnetic fields and that disturbed the radio contacts and destroyed the electric devices in the city.

When I think of the detonation of 20 megatons Atom Bomb, you should not be surprised to know that its Head Wave just take 20 seconds, and even the people in the distance of 45 kilometers get second-degree burns. The shock wave destroys all the buildings within a radius of 20 kilometers. One 20 megatons Atomic Bomb can kill some millions of people at a stretch.

Dimension 

I am further concerned and feel pained to see the advancement of nuclear destruction, its dimension disturbs me. The size of the atomic bomb is calculated with the power of the dynamite TNT, which is indicated in kilotons and megatons. One Atomic Bomb with the marking of 1 kiloton has the energy of 1000 tons TNT, and the Atomic bomb with the marking of 1 megaton, holds the energy of 1 million tons TNT.

The atomic bombs, which the Americans dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were of a 12 kilotons and a 22 kilotons. Even these bombs killed some hundred thousand people and destroyed two cities and forced Japan to surrender. Today the dimension of the bomb is of around 20 megatons having the size like 1500 Hiroshima-bombs, or 750 Nagasaki-bombs.
 
If all the atomic weapons in the arsenals of different countries are put together as on today, they are enough to destroy the whole world four times.

Some times a single mistake can raze the entire human race and civilization. The initiation of war by Herr Hitler, in effect, led to the deadly inventions of Atomic Bombs.
 
His scientists were already on the job to build an Atomic Bomb that could function with Nuclear power, and he was sure that they would most certainly succeed in building such Atomic Bombs, within his time framework, and he would be able to win over all the countries one by one, just in one go in each country, and his atomic power would compel every nation to surrender before him.

But Herr Hitler missed the timing; it was God’s will that saved the world. Had his scientists succeeded in compiling an Atom Bomb that functions with the nuclear power, before the Americans did, the history would have been overturned. 

There would have been just dictatorship all over without any human value, and the people might have been forced to act as complete slaves to such administration. Pride hath a fall, and Japan, the supporter of Germany, had to face the brunt, though it was tragic but how the war could be ended?
