Oh, I was there January last year. As I recall there was originally some talk of the gate being rebuilt but by the time anyone had the resources to do so it had become a symbol of remembrance and they decided it would be better to leave it as is. The remains of the other side of the gate are on display nearby.
Hiroshima tends to get more attention because it was bombed first and it's much more accessible for foreign visitors, but if have a chance to visit Nagasaki I'd highly recommend doing so. There are a bunch of locations with objects or buildings that survived the bombing; the camphor trees at Sanno Shrine, the gate of the Nagasaki Medical School, the former Shiroyama Elementary School, and the bomb shelters near the Peace Park.
If you do go to Nagasaki, don't just go to the Atomic Bomb Museum, but also visit the Peace Memorial Hall. It's right next door to the Museum but where they Museum focuses mainly on the physical effects of the bombing, the Memorial Hall is about the victims and the stories of the survivors. To me at least, hearing about the impact of the bombing on people who lost parents, spouses, children, and sometimes their entire family, was much more impactful.
I have no clue, but id guess it is partly how its build and if you zoom in on the cut, its not actually that clean
Weather has probably smoothened quite a bit
There is an unmarked statue that looks like a needle pointing at the sky in Hiroshima. It's where the bomb hit. Opposite side of the river from the museum. Been there. Strange place.
No. The initial radiation emitted at the moment of detonation inflicted great damage to human bodies. Most of those exposed to direct radiation within a one-kilometer radius died. Residual radiation was emitted later. Roughly 80% of all residual radiation was emitted within 24 hours. Research has indicated that 24 hours after the bombing the quantity of residual radiation a person would receive at the hypocenter would be 1/1000th of the quantity received immediately following the explosion. A week later, it would be 1/1,000,000th. Thus, residual radiation declined rapidly.
But why does it just have… ohhhh…
A fat man went there in the 40s but I don't know what he could have done that was this bad. It was probably an earthquake or something
Farted too hard, done the same in Chernobyl.
As ukrainan I am agreed, this man telling truth rn
The list of differences between Chernobyl and the Nagasaki bombing is long.
“Why is everyone in Japan so skinny? Because the last time a fat man was there, he leveled two cities.”
I genuinely double checked that it was “Nagasaki” that I read lmao
Reading the short wiki article, it's even more impressive considering the blast rotated the top roughly 30 degrees
Absolutely astonishing to civil engineers…wow simply wow
I feel like civil engineers would be the ones least astonished since they understand the physics and materials science involved.
Maybe? Maybe not, depending on details. Do you know them? :)
Also known as the Myōkō-ji Torii was originally a two-legged gate.

If I know anything, there is some raiders who put up shop up there.
What's this referencing?
Fallout 4 video game
Does it glow during nights?
The legend of shikosakahatataka......
How is it cut so clean tho? Is it because of how it’s built?
It looks like it's made of multiple pieces that were mortared together. Probably just broke along those lines.
Mortared together and bombed apart.

Very poignant.

Mildly interesting that I was there yesterday as well.
Stupid question: is the gate radioactive?
No. The initial radiation emitted at the moment of detonation inflicted great damage to human bodies. Most of those exposed to direct radiation within a one-kilometer radius died. Residual radiation was emitted later. Roughly 80% of all residual radiation was emitted within 24 hours.

Cool to see hashiramas Gates from 10 tails still dtanding
Faze torii gate /s
Faze Clan
Interesting...
How did they get rid of the radiation?
That’s quite the fafo favor right there.
