Title
Hiroshima
:
Immediate
effects
of
blast
and
heat
on
physical
objects
,
01
.
Melted
bottles
.
Description
Immediate
effects
from the
heat
and from the
force
of the
blast
and of the
ensuing
fires
in
Hiroshima
. The
glass
bottles
in this
image
were
melted
and
deformed
by the
heat
of the
atomic
bomb
blast
and the
heat
of the
resulting
fires
,
which
consumed
Hiroshima
as an
immediate
after-effect
of the
initial
explosion
. The
stacks
of
coins
on the
left
in the
image
were
fused
together
by the
heat
. The
temperature
required
to
cause
these
effects
may
have been in the
vicinity
of
approximately
1500
degrees
Fahrenheit
and,
obviously
, the
effect
of this
heat
on
human
victims
was
unspeakable
. These
items
are on
display
in the
Peace
Memorial
Museum
in
Hiroshima
