The Germans, immediately after sinking the ship, accused Britain of the Lusitania carrying munitions, not just passengers. The government tried to justify the sinking of the Lusitania by saying that the Lusitania contained weapons (“Sinking of RMS Lusitania” para. 2). The Germans must have known that the Lusitania held weapons, years before future historians and scientists would prove their existence true. If not, Germany would have looked at all the positives and negatives of sinking the Lusitania, and would have realized the cons outweighed the pros in this situation.
The Highwaymen were the scandalous criminals that patrolled the highways and traffic roads to scavenge for useful goods. “With the use of the Hydrogen Bomb, the Christian era was dead, and with it must die the tradition of the good Samaritan” (page 84). After the many atomic bombs destroyed Orlando and other major cities, the survivors went against each other and become either hostile criminals or bystanders trying yo avoid to confliction. “Some nations and some people melt in the heat of crisis and come apart like fat in the pan” (page 132). The villainous Highwaymen, drug addicts, and gangsters all came apart at the seams when their lifestyles changed for the worse.
What gave the atomic bomb the potential to bring swift results was its capacity for destruction: it could cause more damage over a larger area in much less time than any regular means of that age – and so would send a clear message to the enemy. As per the results of the trinity test, the power of the bomb was estimated to be “in excess of the equivalent of 15,000 to 20,000 tons of TNT; and this [was] a conservative estimate” (Groves 1), the equivalent to the bomb load of 2,000 B-29 Superfortresses. Every living thing within a mile of the tower of explosion was annihilated almost momentarily, and the effects of radiation within and beyond this area were felt in a matter of minutes at most. If used militarily, such an explosion would mean catastrophic losses for the enemy in an instant, thus bringing them closer to defeat and consequently, the end of the war. A few bombs, delivered easily, could destroy Japan – a fact not lost on the Japanese side.
On one hand we have “Dr. Strangelove” who makes us laugh about what we should be concerned and worried about, and the film transforms this horrible idea about the bomb and massive destruction into something funny and peculiar that we should accept as part of our normal life. In this film all the characters seems to be unreal and mentally insane. A human sickness is the one who determines when, where, and how we should drop a bomb. On the other hand, we have “Fail-Safe” that, from a very serious point of view, exposes the problematic of nuclear bombs.
Then, the day after the nuclear explosion, the contaminated dust and water rain down and contaminate a large area. This rain is known as the fallout. The head wave comes from the gigantic energy that develops from the detonation. In the center of the detonation, the temperature can reach several million degrees. The head wave only takes a few seconds, but it kills everyone within a three-mile radius.
As technology become more advance, people use their knowledge to create a lot of weapons to fight with other like guns and bombs. For example, in the story, John sees the fire fallings out of the sky and a mist that poisoned. It helps the reader to realize that all the ruin roads and broken statues in “By the Water of Babylon” were the disaster that cause by bombs. Like John said “They ate knowledge too fast” it’s
Well, the Japanese had demonstrated near-fanatical resistance, fighting to almost the last man on Pacific islands, committing mass suicide of Saipan and unleashing kamikaze attacks at Okinawa. Firebombing had killed 100,000 in Tokyo with no discernible political effect, and the atomic bomb was the only way to jolt Japan’s leadership to surrender. With only two bombs ready, it was way too risky to “waste” one in a demonstration over an unpopulated area. If there was an invasion of Japan by the Allies, there would have been casualties on both sides that could easily have exceeded the toll at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two targeted cities would have probably been firebombed anyway.
Once the first plane had struck the north tower there was obviously explosions in approximately 3 floors around the impact zone, but another explosion occurred almost 20 floors below…this explosion was nothing to do with the impact of the aircraft but something far more devious, explosives. I strongly believe the collapse of the twin towers of majorly aided by explosives and thermite. My conspiracy theorists sought the help of demolitions experts. Once analysed experts where positive that these 2 skyscrapers where not brought down by the initial attack but explosions that came parallel to the attack and post attack. After these explosions Thermite is clearly seen pouring from each corner of the building.
<BR> <br> <br> A third world country is producing nuclear weapons. The country is the same that has given the <br>United States trouble in the past. It is Iraq. Shortly after the U.S finds this out, we are being attacked by a <br>nuclear strike from Iraq. U.S. cities are being destroyed one by one.
Torture is illegal is the majority of the world and immoral to most cultures. Torture is unethical and it should be illegal. The act of torture is cruel and inhumane. The United Nations outlawed torture for this reason (Dieringer). Some of the smartest individuals and the leaders of most countries decided torture was inhumane and should be outlawed.
