These Are The Few Photos That Literally Changed The World

Nagasaki, Japan (1945)

Only 3 days after the Hiroshima disaster, the US went on to bomb the city of Nagasaki. This aerial view is basically a 45,000-foot cloud of radioactive particles.

One of the bombardiers, Lt. Charles Levy, described the scene as ‘purple, red, white, all colors—something like boiling coffee. It looked alive.‘

Over 80,000 people died that day.
