Answer: In “Nagasaki August 9, 1945,” Michaito Ichimaru has discussed an eyewitness account of the destruction caused by the atom bomb. This atom bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.
At the time of nuclear bombing, the writer was a Medical student in Nagasaki. This bombing caused great destruction. The writer noticed that the trees had lost their greenery. Many people were killed and many were wounded. Their clothes were in rags. Their shred of skin hung from their bodies. They looked like ghosts with vacant stares. They were crying for water. Next day, when he reached his medical college, he witnessed that everything had disappeared. Many burnt bodies were lying there. It was difficult to dispose of the dead bodies. Most of them were burnt in the wood wire.
He calls this scene “An Inferno”. Therefore he advises that these terrible weapons should never be used. He pathetically appeals to humanity, “Never again should these nuclear weapons be used. Will the souls of the friend rest in peace”. We also agree with the writer and disapprove their use at any stage. (Words: 179)
