207 A Day the World Changed Forever

1

70 years ago on a hot and humid morning an American B-29 airplane flew over the southern

Japanese city of Hiroshima and the world was never the same again. On the 70th anniversary of

the atomic bomb exploding over the city, ENW has come to Hiroshima’s Peace Park to record

live from the commemoration ceremony.

2

People from Hiroshima, around Japan and dignitaries from across the globe have come to Peace

Park today August 6th 2015 to remember the bomb that fell on this city 70 years ago. Just after

8:15am the Enola Gay, piloted by a 12-man crew and led by Colonel Paul Tibbets, dropped

Little Boy – the name of the atomic bomb. From 32,700 feet the bomb fell before exploding just

1,800 feet over Hiroshima. With a blinding flash of light and with temperatures of 4,000C the

bomb vaporised people and animals; melted buildings and reduced the 400 year-old city to dust

and ruin.

3 On August 5th 1945 Hiroshima had a population of 350,000 people. Within seconds of Little Boy

exploding on August 6th – 80,000 people had been killed instantly. In the next few months the

death toll would rise to 135,000 people – nearly half of the city killed by just one atomic bomb.

4 Hiroshima mayor Kazumi Matsui has used his 2015 Peace Declaration to urge world leaders to

create a better trust between each other. Mayor Matsui said, “My Peace Declaration calls on world

leaders to stop taking actions that causes mistrust in others, so no one ever again suffers a nuclear

attack”. Mayor Matsui added he thought world leaders should visit Hiroshima so they could

talk with the Hibakusha, the atomic bomb survivors, so as to better understand the tragic results

of nuclear weapons.

70 years after the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki historians still debate if the bombs needed

to be dropped. One view is that it could have taken another two years to defeat Japan, so the

atomic bombs ended the war speedily. The alternative view is Japan was actually close to

surrender and the real reason was to examine how successful nuclear bombs could be.

Whatever the truth, standing here in Peace Park 70 years, and 80 minutes after the first atomic

bomb exploded, ENW feels grateful that these remain the only two military atomic bombs in

world history.
