Hiroshima
This video has a very clear description of the flight of the B29 bomber to Hiroshima, how the atomic bomb worked and Oppenheimer's reaction.
Fascinating animations of the technical structure of the bomb.

There was one storage room that is seared in my memory, with shelves upon shelves stacked with ancient specimen jars. They were filled with tissue samples taken from the #AtomicBomb survivors, who had come to the research lab over decades after the bombing during the US occupation and beyond.

While living in Hiroshima, I was fortunate to have a glimpse into its unique history that few have seen. Thanks to an educator friend who cared deeply about sharing Hiroshima’s past, I was able to tour the research facilities run by the American government for decades after the #AtomicBomb. 🧵

Geschichtsnachhilfe vom Feinsten:
"Die Atombombe, die 1945 auf Hiroshima fiel, tötete mehr als 100.000 Menschen und symbolisierte das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, aber auch den Beginn des Atomzeitalters. Der Dokumentarfilm schildert die Ereignisse vor, während und nach der Detonation..."

Edge of Armageddon: why does one of the world’s top thinkers believe we’re nearing nuclear apocalypse? (The Guardian)
In a chilling new book, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says we’re back on the brink – and this time, leaders chronically lack the nous of Kennedy and Khrushchev. So why is he against rearming?
“The idea of the Russian military being a threat to Europe is ridiculous. Russia can’t even get to Kyiv! A few years ago, Russia had 4% of the world’s military spending and Nato had 40%.”
The real problem, Rovelli suggests, is mutual fear.
