It's taken you nearly a week to post some conspiracy drivel about this. You're slipping.

Terrible tragedy. As well as the raids on Tokyo earlier in 1945 that were some of the worst (if not the worst) non-atomic bombings ever seen. Napalm used for the first time and unimaginable pain on innocent civilians.

It was a bomb alright. Just not one of your normal run of the mill type terrorist bombs. It was a very neglected leathal mixture of chemicals and gunpowder leaking all over the place that finally mixed together. KABOOM.
The whole lot of officialdom should be blamed from top to bottom and not just the poor slaves who were supposed to look after it.

Mate don't be silly. All i was saying is what they said on radio 2 news. They said it might have been a missile or a bomb and nothing has been ruled out at this stage.

Thats not a conspiracy, thats just news reporting. Was it either? I have no idea as I've not even watched the footage of the incident.

Who said it might have been? Some nutjob they were interviewing in the street or an expert?

BBC4 are repeating their Hiroshima bomb doc. It's got some dubious re-enactment scenes and sticks to the questionable Establishment view that it saved net lives by avoiding the need for invasion, but worth watching for the eye witness accounts and old footage.

No Thor
You said they suggested it might be a bomb.
Whereas what was REALLY said was
Authorities are not ruling out that it was a bomb.

Very different.

From the same YouTube channel. Apparently due to problems with getting the new Boeing B-29 Superfortress flying and able to carry the new very large and extremely heavy atomic bombs, there was a backup plan to instead use modified RAF Lancaster Bombers. In the end, this never happened. It would seem that the modified RAF Lancaster bomber was the Avro Lincoln.

An interesting watch, thanks for posting.

As awful as it sounds to say it, the result of the two bombs being dropped seems to have been the least worst outcome, as the Japanese surrender was not a foregone conclusion and the deaths of millions of civilians ("the glorious death of 100 million"), not to mention horrific losses among soldiers on all sides, would have surely followed had the Japanese fought on as many of their military leaders wanted to.

My pleasure faldO.

Mark Felton's content on Youtube is incredible viewing and time well spent. It just cuts to the chase with so many facts.
