The enormous scale of the blast and pressure effect from the atomic bomb dropped
The enormous scale of the blast and pressure effect from the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki can be seen in the remains of the Mitsubishi steel works factory, which was three quarters of a mile from the detonation point. The blast and pressure have bent the steel stanchions causing the roof to collapse. Circa September 1945

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki during World War II. Taken in September 1945, it showcases the immense scale of destruction caused by this catastrophic event. The remains of the Mitsubishi steel works factory stand as a haunting testament to the sheer force unleashed upon this city. Located three quarters of a mile from the detonation point, the factory's steel stanchions have been grotesquely bent under the tremendous blast and pressure effects. The once sturdy roof now lies collapsed, symbolizing not only physical devastation but also shattered lives and dreams. The image serves as a reminder of Japan's painful history during this dark period known as the Pacific War or World War II. It highlights both the destructive power of nuclear weapons and their long-lasting consequences on humanity. As we reflect on this photograph, let us remember those who lost their lives in these horrific events and honor their memory by striving for peace. May it serve as a stark reminder that war and conflict should never be taken lightly, urging us to work towards a world where such devastation is never repeated again.
