The text is a script for a video titled "Animated Nostalgia" by Felipe Castanhari. The video aims to educate viewers about the devastating effects of an atomic bomb, specifically the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
The script begins with a description of the morning of August 6, 1945, in Hiroshima, Japan. It tells the story of Eiso Nomura, who was working in a building controlling fuel rationing in the city. When he heard a deafening explosion, he was one of the few to survive the bombing. The script then delves into the technical details of the bomb, explaining how the uranium in the bomb was broken down by a neutron in a process called nuclear fission, creating a chain reaction that left the bomb's temperature millions of degrees hotter than the Sun's surface.
The script describes the immediate aftermath of the bombing, including the gigantic ball of fire, the intense heat that melted metal structures and burned wood buildings, and the evaporation of internal organs of humans and animals closest to the explosion. It also mentions the release of radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere and the contamination of the soil with radiation.
The script then discusses the shock wave released by the explosion, which spread at a speed of 1200 km per hour, bringing flames throughout the city and destroying everything in its path. It describes the formation of an atomic mushroom-shaped cloud that sucked in the city's overheated air and caused many fires to turn into firestorms. The script also mentions the death of more than 70,000 people within a minute and the subsequent development of radiation-related illnesses among survivors.
The script concludes by discussing the second atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki three days later, which resulted in an estimated 80,000 deaths. It warns that a new war could bring an even more powerful weapon capable of destroying not only a city, but all of humanity. The script ends with a call to action, encouraging viewers to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and leave comments.
1. The text describes the morning of August 6th, 1945, in Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.
2. The country was showing signs of defeat, but continued to fight.
3. Eiso Nomura was working in a building that controlled fuel rationing in the city.
4. He heard a deafening explosion and saw an apocalyptic scene after the bombing.
5. Only eight employees managed to escape the building after the bombing.
6. Mr. Nomura ended up becoming the only survivor.
7. The world was experiencing the devastating power of an atomic bomb for the first time.
8. The text mentions a new project called Animated Nostalgia.
9. The project aims to show the devastating effects of an atomic bomb.
10. The detonation took place just 170 meters from Mr. Nomura's work.
11. He escaped only because he was in the basement at the time of the explosion.
12. Eiso Nomura was known as the survivor who was closest to where the bomb was detonated.
13. Thousands of other residents of Hiroshima were not that lucky.
14. The bomb called Little Boy, weighing more than four tons, was released by the Enola Gay plane.
15. Little Boy carried more than 60 kg of uranium.
16. After a bomb is detonated, the nucleus of a uranium atom is broken down by a neutron in a process called nuclear fission.
17. This creates a chain reaction across the uranium, leaving the bomb's temperature millions of degrees hotter than the Sun's surface.
18. When Little Boy finally explodes, Hiroshima is illuminated by a huge flash.
19. More than 300,000 people in the city hear a deafening bang sound.
20. The explosion creates a gigantic ball of fire which is 30 meters in diameter.
21. It burns at more than 270,000 degrees.
22. The heat is so intense that clock hands merge with the viewfinder, forever recording the exact moment of detonation: 08 hours and 16 minutes AM.
23. The explosion releases more than 200 radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere.
24. The soil is bombarded with radiation from neutrons and gamma rays.
25. Hiroshima is instantly contaminated by radiation.
26. The thermal energy released devastates everything within a radius of one kilometer.
27. Building's parts and statues built with metal melt down.
28. Houses and buildings made out of wood are on fire.
29. Some internal organs of humans and animals closest to the explosion evaporate instantly.
30. Many people are completely vanished.
31. All that remains of them are their nuclear shadows, which appear when a body blocks extreme thermal radiation.
32. These shadows are the only witnesses of the last moments of life of those victims.
33. A wave of infrared energy sweeps across the city, burning the skin of people furthest from the hypocenter.
34. All of that you just saw happens just a second after the detonation of the bomb.
35. The shock wave released by the explosion spreads at a speed of 1200 km per hour.
36. Within seconds, the survivors see more than 60,000 buildings disappear instantly.
37. A black cloud caused by explosion, fire, and destruction of the buildings, turns the day into night.
38. The fireball in the sky reaches almost 275 meters in diameter, causing the temperature of the ground below to rise to almost 4000 degrees.
39. Someone who'd observe this fireball from 9 kilometers away would see a luminosity ten times stronger than our Sun’s.
40. An atomic mushroom-shaped cloud then begins to form, sucking in the city's overheated air and thereby making any flammable material catch fire.
41. Many fires turn into firestorms that spread throughout Hiroshima.
42. In less than a minute, more than 70,000 people are dead.
43. Radioactive waste in the atmosphere begins to fall in
