There was a man named Tsutomu Yamaguchi who was in Hiroshima for a business trip when the first atomic bomb went off. He suffered ruptured eardrums, temporary blindness, and serious radiation burns. After treatment he went to return home……..to Nagasaki. As he was describing the explosion at Hiroshima to his boss an atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki. He survived the second explosion with no new injuries. He is the only person recognized by Japan to have survived both explosions. A record that may last till the end of time

"The Operations Room" is 1,000 times superior than the so-called "History Channel"! The cutoff of narration after the Hiroshima explosion terrified me. Great job in history-telling, sir!!!

@jackmcfann

The carrying of the camera used to photograph the Hiroshima explosion was actually a very last second decision made by the crew of the Enola Gay. A war correspondent/photographer wanted to come aboard, but military security refused to allow him on. So instead, the photographer gave it to the tail gunner and quickly informed him on how to use the camera. Luckily, the tail gunner was able to properly understand and remember the very brief lesson he was given by the time they reached the target, and that is why we have these photographs today.

@tayzonday

The United States had satisfactory air superiority and conventional bombing capability beyond the yield of either atomic bomb. Indeed, the conventional bombing of Tokyo inflicted more casualties than either Hiroshima or Nagasaki. A lot of the historical question hinges on whether the atomic bombs (including new types of radiation casualties) yielded psychological outcomes that led to surrender- as well as a symbolic geopolitical outcome in the Cold War.

@SCIFIguy64

My grandmother worked in a Boeing factory for most the war. In 1945 she has to sign a bunch of papers for secrecy before being tasked with installing a modified bomb bay hinge. We don’t know if it was on the Enola Gay or just some other aircraft, but we know she worked in the same plant it came from and it was just the bomb bay door that was drastically different. Nothing as interesting as being related to anyone directly working in the Manhattan project, but some fun tidbits of history. Grandpa was an infantry man in Okinawa, but he had no stories to tell, or at least wanted to tell.

@bryonslatten3147

Like it or not, the atomic bomb saved 4.9M Japanese from death by land invasion.

@marathgaming7153

The pause, the silence, the brightness. Truly the best history channel out there. Well done.

@edwelndiobel1567

The bomb only turned 2.2 grams of mass into energy to obliterate a city. Also a man read the leaflet and took his family to the hills prior to the bombing despite his family begging him not to leave the city. He saved all their lives except his parents who refused to leave.

@442dudeathefront

My grandfather was a Hiroshima survivor. He was drafted last year of the war and stationed there. His unit was in the middle of roll call when the bomb blew up. Lots of other guys in his unit got horrible burns but he managed to survive unscathed and had to assist in the clean up. He never blamed the US for the bomb and thought it was justified. He ended up moving his family to the US in the 60s and became a citizen.

God I love this channel. Unapologetically about history and just fantastic and tasteful coverage without any hard biases. Keep up the solid work guys!

@Khemtime

It will never cease to amaze me how a channel with such simple animations consistently has me on the edge of my seat. That pause in the narration as Little Boy fell gave me chills. I’ll take Operations Room over most movies any day.

@LITTLE1994

The scary thing about those two atomic bombs is, infamous as they are in war history, Little Boy/Fat Man are quite weak compared to the bombs that of course came later and by today's standards. Imagine the same thing nowadays.

@ThePuschkin1986

cutting off the narration mid-word when Little Boy went off - what an outstanding idea!

@ariochiv

The detonation animations are appropriately both somber and terrifying. Nicely done.

@rhylieshifflett7114

This is one of the best telling of the bombings I’ve heard, just facts about the event, and why it happened. No justification no pointing fingers, just a plain telling of the story in a respectful manner. The first bombing scene was wonderful, keep up the good work

@lA-bk3wh

The content, the voice melody, the historical accuracy and pronunciation of Japanese words all combine into a perfect example of professional content of this chanel. Highly admire your job guys. Well done.
