Why Japan’s Military Could Not Locate the Blast Point at Hiroshima?

Описание: On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was erased in a matter of seconds.
But what confused the Japanese military most was not the scale of destruction — it was a far more basic question:
Where was the explosion point?
When Japanese military units and technical survey teams entered Hiroshima after the blast, they could not find what every previous bombing had always left behind.
There was no bomb crater.
No clearly defined ground zero.
No familiar pattern of destruction.
The city had been almost completely flattened, yet the ground showed no trace of a conventional explosion. Buildings collapsed in directions that defied standard blast logic. Some reinforced concrete structures remained standing at the heart of the devastation. People died not only at the moment of the blast, but for days afterward — many without visible wounds.
In this video, we follow the Japanese military and Japanese scientists as they surveyed Hiroshima in the first days after the disaster.
From early military reports and incorrect assumptions, to the moment when science forced them to admit that everything they thought they understood about warfare had collapsed.
This is not just the story of a destroyed city.
It is the moment when traditional military thinking became obsolete, as war entered a new era — one in which a single bomb could destroy an entire city without ever touching the ground.

👉 Watch until the end to understand why Hiroshima marked not only the end of World War II, but the beginning of the nuclear age — and why even those tasked with investigating the site struggled to believe what they were seeing.
