It was hard for people to believe this guy survived, although he was in a reinforced building its still amazing that he managed to survive. Among the survivors they discovered long term effects like leukemia and infertility (“The A-Bombs Invisible Offspring” 1). One of things that happened from the bomb is that the radiation changed the shape and color of some plants and also tinted some human skin and formed huge lumps of scar tissue called keloids (1). Some of the victims that survived ended up dying from keloids. More than after a year the bomb was dropped 50-65 ships in the area of radiation were contaminated and unable to ever be manned again (1).
This time, 40,000 were killed instantly, and another 40,000 due to injuries and radiation. Common descriptions of the bombing include a "mushroom cloud", an extremely bright flash of light that caused blindness, severe burns (skin hanging from people, eyes burnt, people turned into ash etc. ), and the entire area being literally flattened. It was said that the heat produced was equivalent to the sun, and that the force of one atomic bomb was equivalent to 67 million sticks of dynamite! After the war, atomic bombs have never been used again.
The immediate death toll will never be known, but within four months, it was estimated that that the effects of both bombs had claimed around 166,000 people in Hiroshima, and 80,000 in Nagasaki. Scientist have been lead to believe that roughly half of these figures may have happened within the first 10 or so minutes of the bombs falling. The Hiroshima prefecture health department estimated that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other
The casualties in Hiroshima were 1, 40,000. Because of this bomb attack, almost 66000 people were injured. Many people also suffered from long-term sickness and disability. For many years after people who were born suffered radiation effects in their body.
No More Killing Smoking cigarettes is the top number one cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. It accounts more than 480,000 deaths every year or one of every five deaths. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015) The ad features a picture of two cigarettes standing upright; resembling the burning Twin Towers after hijacked passenger airliners struck them on 9/11. “No More Killing,” a statement in big bold letters hoping the make an impact on it audience. Under that on the left-hand side in small print is a statistic that reads, “It is estimated that one person dies every 8 seconds from smoking.
However, if the cell is able to recover, it may begin to proliferate widely in the uncontrolled growth of cancer. Don’t let these facts scare you into living in a bubble. Every day we engage in fatal games of chance that can ultimately lead to some form of human malady. Only about 1% of fatal human cancers are caused by the 30 trillion particles of radiation that we encounter throughout our
However it is very hard to find out the information which will be required to cure this disastrous health issue. Doctors are already using Gamma rays to destroy few cells in the body which contain cancer in them so that these cells don’t spread to the rest of the living cells in the body which by then the doctors will not be able to destroy the cells because there will be too many which would harm the body too much. In America cancer has killed the most people and 1 in 4 people are diagnosed with cancer which means 25% of the people in America are diagnosed with cancer. Cancer kills approximately 547,500 people in a single year. It has affected 7.3 million people all around the
“If we do not end the war, war will end us” - said by HG Wells. In the morning of the 6th of August 1945, B-29 bomber Enola Gay was used to release the first atomic bomb ‘Little Boy’ into the city of Hiroshima causing a fatal massacre that made many suffer up to this day. 100 000 innocent civilians lives were taken away by the Americans. 72 years later, since the dropping of the first weapon of its kind, it still remains a devastating time for Japan. Although the bomb ultimately saved more lives than it took, the ongoing feud of whether the bomb was justified or not still continues to this day.
Many countries were scared after the 9/11 attack and started to stricken their security. The attacks resulted in the death of 2,996 people, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims. The victims included 246 on the four planes from which there were no survivors, 2606 in New York City in the towers, and 125 at the Pentagon. Nearly all of the victims were civilians, and 55 military personnel were among those killed at the Pentagon. More than 90% of the workers and visitors who died in the towers had been at or above the point where the plane was hit.
But the thought of making the production and sale of cigarettes illegal is a more recent belief. I have come to this conclusion because I do not believe that people will stop using cigarettes just because of the health risks that are well publicized and well known. Some of these statistics are given in a very bold way by the National Institute on Drug Abuse: “Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Between 1964 and 2004, cigarette smoking caused an estimated 12 million deaths, including 4.1 million deaths from cancer, 5.5 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 1.1 million deaths from respiratory diseases, and 94,000 infant deaths related to mothers smoking during pregnancy.1 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cigarette smoking results in more than 443,000 deaths in the United States each year – about one in every five U.S. Deaths – and an additional 8.6 million people suffer with a serious illness caused by smoking.
