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?

My late father was involved in the British H-Bomb trials in the late 50s in the Pacific and personally witnessed two of the “Grapple” tests including Grapple Y which was equivalent to 3 Megatons of TNT. As is correctly shown in the Oppenheimer movie, my Dad was instructed to lay face down on the ground (actually the deck of a Royal Navy ship) away from the explosion, and place the balls of his hands over his eyes. He told me he still saw the flash. They were 20 miles from “ground zero” and over the horizon.
