The roasted dogs carcasses hanging at my local shi jang.

I was privilegded (not) to be one of the first Americans to see the video of Nick Berg being beheaded by militants in Iraq. His screams haunt me to this day. Every time I think about it... I almost cry and I get cold chills. Nothing could ever be as bad as that.

This posting just ruined my day.

As traumatic as the death of one man must be, I can't see how it compares to the instantaneous deaths of almost 74,000 people at Nagasaki, including 2,000 conscripted Koreans.

A plaque in 'Peace Park' gives the following statistics:

Dead: 73,884; Injured: 74,909;
Sufferers: 120,820; Houses burned down:11,574;
Houses half-ruined, 5,509; Houses partly damaged 50,000.

The Atomic Bomb Museum has such grisly things as a human wrist bone enveloped in molten glass, scorched schooldchildren's uniforms splattered with blood & glass shards. I could go on. It's something everyone in Japan (& Korea too, if possible), should see, if they have the opportunity. It must never happen again.

Then there's Hiroshima...

^^^^ Missed the part of the title spelled 'L.I.V.E'

Did ya?

Going to a museum and witnessing something live are very different experiences physically and psychologically.

[chris_J2]

I saw the actual schoolkids uniforms in Nagasaki, that wrist, & a thousand other exhibits, rather than just photos or weblinks. So I'd consider it "live". Have you been, DWAEJIMORIGUKBAP?

This is a disgusting thread.

Regardless the exhibits at the museum weren't live (actually happening at the time, not 50 something years ago) events.

[chris_J2]

The physical evidence of what happened 64 years ago at Nagasaki & Hiroshima, ago still exists. Not everything was vaporized. And yes, I've been to both museums. Absolutely chilling. Newsflash. Nobody standing at the epicenters survived. You haven't answered my question, DWAEJIMORIGUKBAP. Have you been to either of these museums?

I would not consider this last one 'live', as:

(a) I did not take the original photo, (wasn't even born) &
(b) it's not physical evidence. (I could have touched the One Legged Tori, if I'd chosen to. This is physical evidence).

I have also been to the Bridge on the River Kwai cemeteries & museums, & Nanjing Massacre Museum, which had the same unsettling effect. I'd imagine Auschwitz & the Cambodian killing fields would be the same, even though I've been to neither.

[DWAEJIMORIGUKBAP]

Lol why can't you just admit it's not live...

[chris_J2]

Why can't you just admit you've never been? It's no laughing matter, btw.

I was driving with my father to my grandfather's house. We were on the highway and I noticed there was a car stopped in the middle of the highway with its flashers on. As we got closerm we saw that it hit a moose. We were the first one's on the scene. The moose was dead. It wasn't a big moose. It was sliced open and its guts were everywhere. Terrible smell. The people in the car were fine. They just had lots of blood on them, but nothing a little patching up couldn't fix.

I've seen a few post-mortems and been to car accidents with people trapped inside, bleeding and screaming. Just another day's work.
