The people saw a flash, or maybe two. Then the city caught fire. It took about 36 hours to burn, according to Crawford Sams. It's possible, the flashes had nothing to do with the fire. People heard no explosion.

Hershey also talks about a rain. The sky was clear that morning over Hiroshima. Is rain a common result of firebombing? Was the rain really rain, or something being dropped from planes? What chemical reaction might create rain?

I assumed there would mostly be fire and smoke, given that there were wooden buildings and also industrialised materials such as paints and gasoline and timber. If magnesium incendiaries were used, or thermite, there would be intense white or yellowish points of light, amid smoke. If the presumably cheaper gasoline incendiary sticks were dropped, which I'd guess are more cost-effective in igniting wooden houses, there must have been drops or blotches of burning gasoline jelly. I assume the smoke would include sparks, soot and fragments of ash, which would go up in the updraft. But some of the gasoline wouldn't burn fully; so there would be some blackened drops, or blotches, or fiery, tarry dribbles in the air - or dropping from the roofs or sides of houses. That's what I assume 'black rain' must mean - though of course there are no helpful translator's notes.

Imagine all these ships and crews close around the blast! What were they doing there?

Even if the picture says it shows a peaceful nuclear testing/explosion, it is just a hole in a sandy beach. Watch out so you do not drop into it!

Pair of faked photos - you can see they're faked because there are two versions with the identical 'mushroom'' or spray cloud.

Note that underwater explosions (or under sand, or at night, or on a high tower) are all good for hiding what was actually there.

http://www.3rd1000.com/nuclear/cruc18.htm tells us:

“That the scientists in the mesa laboratory did their job well was known to a handful of men who in rain and lightning witnessed the first explosion of an atomic bomb. This test explosion took place at 5:30 am, July 16, 1945, at the Alamogordo Air Base in a desert of New Mexico, 120 miles southeast of Albuquerque. The bomb, containing (according to the Smyth Report) between 4 and 22 pounds of plutonium and U-235 (a British report gave the weight as between 22 and 66 pounds), fissioned with a blinding glare, vaporized the steel tower on which it had been exploded, and left a crater half a mile in diameter covered with sand sintered to a green, glassy consistency. It was estimated that a temperature as high as 100,000,000oF was reached in the center of the explosion. The age of nucleonics was here. »

It sounds impressive ; vaporized steel tower, crater half a mile in diameter covered with sand sintered to a green glassy consistency. Temperature 100,000,000°F, bla, bla.
Imagine a little sphere, diameter 15-20 centimeters, of Uranium/plutonium fissioning (?) in nanoseconds into fission fragments and energy.
Has anyone seen a sample of the sand sintered to a green, glassy consistency??? Any photos of the crater at Alamogordo?

We have a thread on 'Trinitite' problem - where's all the fused sand and earth? (Right click to open in new window)

We were told that the tower vaporized, there was a big crater and the sand had melted, etc.
On the other hand there is this photograph:

It is Oppenheimer and his boss general inspecting what remains of the tower after the blast!
LOL
You find it at http://www.3rd1000.com/nuclear/cruc18.htm
The steel didn't melt after all! So what about the sand?

[rerevisionist]

Thanks for finding that picture. It's in fact on various sites including here http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Med/Oppgrov2med.jpg

It's Groves and Oppenheimer. I'm grateful - FirstClassSkeptic found that photo before, or one like it, and his comment was they hadn't yet invented the radiation idea, and so they were photographed just strolling around. Afterwards they realised they wanted people to keep away, so they invented 'radiation' as a convenient hazard.

I'm certain that picture was posted before, by FCS, but I couldn't find it anywhere on this site or on archives.

No, I don't remember that photo.

[rerevisionist]

Maybe it was Mooninquirer then, or possibly Cactusneedles=Alexis1111, the father of nuclear revisionism. But certainly someone mentioned it, and mentioned the relevance to the supposed radiation risk.

[FirstClassSkeptic]

Groves certainly looks like the dominant character of the two. And Oppenheimer looks like a queer.

Color of the Sun:. As photons escape the interior of a star...

It would seem there is no such thing as a photon, (which might explain why it is massless)

Hence the photoelectric effect was bollocks, and all of Jew science is now up for revision IMO
