Took these photos while waiting for the fireworks in the office today. Yes, they are sub-standard photos but again, what can you expect from a camera-phone?! It’s supposed to be a phone, not a camera, remember?

And yes, you won’t see one of those ‘Happy Birthday, Singapore’ items from me. If you want to know why perhaps you should read this.

On this day in 1945, the city Nagasaki was the target of the world’s second atomic bomb [Fat Man] attack at 11:02 a.m. The north of the city was destroyed and an estimated 40,000 people were killed. (This does not include the people who subsequently died of radiation disease.) Until today, the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remained the only to be attacked by a nuclear weapon in a military action. No matter what the justification was (such as the Japanese has given the order to kill all the POWs when the invasion of the Japanese homeland commences), this second bomb is still unjustifiable. |
