what actually happens to someone in an atomic bomb explosion?

348 views

I saw a post on here showing the ‘shadow’ of a boy standing near the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bomb explosion, it’s not actually his shadow but just the spot that didn’t get ‘bleached’ by the damage of the explosion. I read that he was vaporized in quite a lot of comments on this case but one comment explained that the boy wasn’t actually vaporized, but how did he actually die? Where is his corpse or what’s left of it? How is the damage of atomic bombs different than ‘normal’ bombs used in wars?

Kurzgesagt did an [excellent video about the effects and aftermath of a nuclear weapon used on a city](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPH-br_eJQ) in a digestible ELI5 format. I recommend watching it if this topic is interesting to you!
