that type of destruction and loss of life is and will never be beautiful
it was bound to happen (and it needed to happen) by either us or someone else
but in no way should it ever be described as "beautiful"

And there were a lot more casualties from the fire bombings that preceded that.

Science is weird.
Those were roads they cut to the test site. This was in the middle of literally nowhere. There were no roads to the site where the detonation was to take place so they had to cut out rudimentary dirt roads to where they wanted to test the bomb.
They built a tower at what was to be ground zero so they could hoist the bomb into the air for the test.

Prevented a deadly land invasion and led to MacArthur occupying and promoting liberalism in Japan. Which eventually led to the Japanese Miracle.

the long peace is in reference to no major super powers having been to war since simply because we are all too scared of the consequences

I agree. Thought you were being facetious

There is a documentary about a man who was in both blasts but survived.

Looks like roads to me. It was in the middle of a desert so they had to take all the equipment to build the tower out there by trucks. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like to me.

Yes, the problem with Haiti is that it hasn't had two nuclear bombs dropped on it. You present a compelling case.
