The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed millions of people, left families with nothing, and leveled cities. The war would have gone on for a couple more years if we had not dropped the bombs and sent troops to Japan instead. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified. This is one of the pros for the atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One of the pros for dropping the atom bombs is that the Japanese would have not surrendered.
How effective were world governments on communicating the disaster? Thirty years later, nuclear power is being used more than ever by mankind, with such an accident present in history are we safe from another meltdown knowing that humans will always commit errors? The direct cause of the accident came from reactor number four of the power plant when it went under several unauthorized tests which led to the explosion of the reactor resulting in a nuclear meltdown and the release of nuclear materials into the atmosphere (Leo.Maryann.De). This was the equivalent of four hundred times more pollution than the bomb of Hiroshima. In the thirty kilometer radius of the plant, a hundred and sixty one thousand people were evacuated due to the twenty five thousand square kilometers being heavily contaminated by nuclear radiation (Discovery Channel).
It releases a huge amount of energy and all the neutrons released cause fission with the other surrounding nuclei of uranium-253, and this is what causes a chain reaction. After the fission process has started it has to continue the release of energy to create a big enough reaction. The results depend on how many neutrons actually collide with uranium-253, and how many pass to the surrounding area without colliding with the nuclei. There are three different things that could happen, in a subcritical process if there are only three uranium nuclei present and only one or two actually fission then the process soon dies out. The critical process requires that one neutron from each fission process produces only one more fission process.
On the official report of 9/11 it says that the collapse happened because of the fire in the buildings, but regardless other evidence contradicts this theory. In the documentary 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions, during an interview with NBC News Professor Jones states that a molten metal was found in the basement of all three buildings, and the only way that the steel would have been able to liquefy the way it did was if Thermite was placed in the buildings to burn the steel, because open fire cannot reach the heat level necessary to melt steel. The professor’s argument shows validity because molten metal was found in all three buildings and in contrary to the repot fire alone did not contain the heat needed to cause the metal to melt. The report failed to clarify the molting of the metal in the fires that pulled down all three buildings. The report given by authority states that the buildings dropped because of the planes crashing into the building and the after math destruction that followed those incidents but fails to state any reasons behind explosions
1994,When Technology Fails : significant technological disasters, accidents, and failures of the twentieth century, Gale Research, Detroit, pp.81-86. This article assesses the causes and consequences of accident of United Airlines Boeing 747 Hawaii (1989). The authors enlighten two other accidents which were connected severely with this accident which are Pan Am 747-100(1987) and Kennedy International Airport 747-200 (1991) . Schlager, Neil (ed.) 1994 conclude that the real causes of this disaster were weak locks of the door and the stray signals produced by some pair of wires which made the opened itself without any command.
The largest number of people killed in war was not at Hiroshima, but at Tokyo, with conventional firebombs. The military leaders refused to take action and surrender. Some 80,000-100,00 people killed. After Japan surrendered in 1945, no more Japanese people were killed. It would have been hard to imagine how many Japanese lives would have been lost had they not have stopped.
At the Battle of Somme 1,000,000 people had died, this is ten times more than what Germany is allowed to have in their military. Now, think about how easy it would be to wipe out Germany in a battle. The only way Germany would be able to defend themselves in a battle now is if their military was a team of superheroes. The countries that decided on Germany's punishments should have been more reasonable. This is a treaty isn't it?
Why gun control won’t stop crime After the tragedy in Newton CT, where twenty-six innocent people lost their lives gun control seems to be a hot topic again. The ideas of certain types of gun control have been all over the news and radio talk shows ever since the tragedy. But it’s my belief that gun control is not the answer to violent crime, and in my opinion gun control doesn’t make us safer, it just makes law-abiding citizens an easier target for crime. Many opponents for stricter gun control laws have stated it will cut down on violent crime, or mass shootings such as the one in Newtown. Politicians have stated thy will introduce new laws wanting tougher background checks, forced registration, and outright banning of military looking firearms.
Especially with males ages 16 to 25, this age group is the least likely to buckle up. Do to the fact that they do not believe they will be injured or killed. And this is bad new because this is the nation’s highest risked drivers, with drunk driving and more speeding and more crashes then any other age group. Crashes were a seat belt is not worn kills an estimated 9,500 people each year. Yet only 68% of the people buckle up.
"Those who weren't killed by the intense heat," says Dr. Dave Rothery, from the Department of Earth Sciences at the Open University, "would have been sandblasted to death. It was hot enough to carbonize everything in its path" (Heber-Percy, Lyall n.p). The real killers, though, were the giant tsunamis that were unleashed off the Indonesian coast, reaching heights of 40m,
