"The view where a moment before all had been so bright and sunny was now dark and hazy What had happened? All over the right side of my body I was bleeding My private nurse set about examining my wounds without speaking a word. No one spoke Why was everyone so quiet? The heat finally became too intense to endure Those who could fled; those who could not perished
Hiroshima was no longer a city but a burned-over prairie. To the east and to the west everything was flattened. The distant mountains seemed nearer than I could ever remember How small Hiroshima was with its houses gone."
- Michihiko Hachiya, Hiroshima Diary: The Journal of a Japanese Physician August 6 - September 30, 1945

the observations that the doctor had made about the effects of the bombing of his city were that a once birght and sunny view was now dark and hazy. he had observed that no one was speaking; everyone was silent. he also noticed that the heat was too much to endure for many, and those who could, fled; the people who could not had perished. he also noticed that the mountains that seemed so distant before seemed nearer now. he also noticed that everything was flattened
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the doctor almost was certain his death was near.. how everybody was silent and nobody knew what was going on

The observations that the doctor had made about the effects of the bombing in his city was that there was no activity. No communication amongst people, the once lighted city with bright and sunny skies was gone. The city was destructed and everything was gone.
