“Ndinapulumuka chifukwa ndinkapita ku nyumba ina yomwe inali kuseri kwa kaphiri kena komwe kanayang’anizana ndi tauni. Ndinayima m’njira yakuti nyumbayo inali kudzanja langa lamanja ndipo dimba lamwala linali kumanzere kwanga. Linali tsiku laukwati wa mwana wanga wamkazi ndipo ndinali kukankhira madiresi aukwati mu wheelbarrow kupita kuholo yaukwati. Mwadzidzidzi, popanda chifukwa chodziŵika, ndinangogwetsedwa pansi. Sindinamvepo bomba. . . Nditatsala pang’ono kudzuka, mwadzidzidzi nkhuni ndi zinyalala zinagwa kuchokera kumwamba n’kundigunda m’mutu ndi msana, moti ndinakhala pansi. . . . Sindinamve nkomwe nkhuni ikugwa. . . . Nditayamba kumva, kunali phokoso lachilendo. Ndinathamangira kudera lamapiri komwe ndimatha kuyang'ana kumunsi kwa mzinda. Sindinakhulupirire zimene ndinaona. Mzinda wonse wa Hiroshima unali utapita. Ndipo phokoso ndinamva - anali anthu. Anali kubuula ndikuyenda ngati Zombies manja ndi manja atatambasulidwa patsogolo pawo ndipo khungu lawo likulendewera pamafupa awo. "
Sikuti onse anali kuyenda. Sikuti aliyense anali wofanana ndi mtembo wogwada. Anthu ambiri anali atatenthedwa ngati madzi pa poto yokazinga. Anasiya "mithunzi" pansi yomwe nthawi zina imakhalabe. Koma ena ankayenda kapena kukwawa. Ena anafika m’zipatala kumene ena ankamva mafupa awo oonekera akugwedera pansi ngati zidendene zazitali. Kuzipatala, mphutsi zinkalowa m’mabala awo, mphuno ndi makutu awo. Mphutsi zinkadya odwalawo ali moyo kuchokera mkati mpaka kunja. Akufawo ankamveka ngati chitsulo pamene akuponyedwa m’zinyalala ndi m’magalimoto, nthaŵi zina ndi ana awo aang’ono akulira ndi kubuula pafupi nawo. Mvula yakuda inagwa kwa masiku, kugwa imfa ndi zoopsa. Amene ankamwa madzi anafa nthawi yomweyo. Iwo amene anali ndi ludzu sanalimba mtima kumwa. Osakhudzidwa ndi matenda nthawi zina amakhala ndi madontho ofiira ndipo amafa msanga kuti aone imfa ikuwagwera. Anthu amoyo ankakhala mwamantha. Akufa anawonjezedwa ku mapiri a mafupa omwe tsopano akuwonedwa ngati mapiri okongola audzu kumene fungo latha.
Izi ndi nkhani zomwe zafotokozedwa m'buku laling'ono komanso labwino kwambiri la Melinda Clarke, Okonza Mtendere: Oopsya a Hiroshima ndi Nagasaki Ayankhula. Kwa osawerenga, pali video. Pafupifupi panalibe. A US Occupation Force amaletsa kulankhula za zoopsa kuyambira September 17, 1945 mpaka April 1952. Filimu ya kuzunzika ndi chiwonongeko inalandidwa ndikusungidwa mu US National Archives. Mu 1975 Purezidenti Gerald Ford adasaina Lamulo la Kuwala kwa Dzuwa. Kampani yosindikiza mabuku ya Hiroshima Nagasaki inauzidwa kuti iyenera kugula filimuyo, kusonkhanitsa ndalamazo, ndi kuigula. Zopereka zochokera kwa anthu opitilira 100,000 zidamasula zomwe zidapezeka M'badwo Wotayika (1982). Onetsani kwa aliyense amene sakugwira ntchito yoletsa zida za nyukiliya ndi nkhondo.
“Sindiimba mlandu Amereka kaamba ka kuphulitsa mabomba,” akutero wopulumuka wina, amene ali ndi lingaliro lamakono la nkhondo, ngati si lamulo, mopepuka. “Nkhondo ikayambika njira iliyonse ingagwiritsidwe ntchito, ngakhale njira zowopsa komanso zankhanza zopezera chipambano.
