We will become like slaves
to our conquerors...
:49:04
and made to wander
helplessly... Iike beggars."

[ Lord Chamberlain ]
The days and nights
will pass slowly...
:49:16
and with great suffering
and terror."

...but to a single B-29 over
the Japanese city of Hiroshima,
:50:11

8:15 in the morning
found a 400-pound bomb...
:50:21
with the destructive force
of 20,000 tons of TNT...
:50:24
mushrooming up
over the stunned enemy city.
:50:27
To the frightened inhabitants,
the end of the world had come.
:50:30
The almost horribly beautiful mushroom
cloud ballooned up into the heavens.
:50:34

was to become the trademark...
:50:37

and destruction.

:50:42
"An atom bomb explosion is

one could possibly imagine.
:50:46
I'm sure that at the end of the world,
in the last millisecond
of the Earth's existence,
:50:51
the last man will see
what we saw today."
