The City of Nagasaki is now planning a major renovation of the museum, and is getting students at Nagasaki University involved.
Tokyo's report showed the bombers were accompanied by a Chinese navy Y-9 electronic intelligence aircraft. The spy plane—identified in the photographs by its under-nose radome—would have scanned the sea while flying the same route."While the Y-9 intelligence-gathering aircraft and H-6 bombers were circling over the Pacific Ocean, one presumed Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle was flying in the same airspace," Japan's Joint Staff said.
Japan's Air Self-Defense Force fighters were also scrambled on Saturday and Sunday when a Chinese KQ-200 maritime patrol aircraft flew a similar pattern into the Western Pacific, above waters where the U.S. and Japanese navies conducted frequent military exercises.
In the 11 months since April 2023, Japan's fighter jets were scrambled 599 times, the data showed.
Oppenheimer does not directly depict what happened on the ground when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, turning some 100,000 people instantly into ashes, and killed thousands more in the days that followed, mostly civilians."I feel there needs to an answer from Japan to Oppenheimer. Someday, I would like to make that movie," he said in an online dialogue with Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan.
Nolan heartily agreed.
The USA and Russia each have around 1,500 warheads deployed - ready to launch. Each of these is a hydrogen (or thermonuclear) bomb. Many of these, which are 20 times more destructive than those produced by Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project and which destroyed Hiroshima, sit on the top of ICBMs in land-based silos - in the US in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado - and are ready for a 'launch on warning.'What this means is that in the event of the detection of a possible incoming nuclear strike, the president - while they are being rushed to the White House bunker - has perhaps 12 minutes to decide whether to launch all of these missiles. Unlike nuclear missiles on submarines, which are designed to evade a first strike, this is a use-it-or-lose-it situation: the silos will get blown up at the end of those 12 minutes. What could happen next is unimaginable - save for the scientists who have imagined it.
