06:15A short time ago, an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima.

06:22We have won.

06:22What has been done is the greatest achievement of organized science in history.

06:28We knew the world would not be the same.

06:38Few people laughed.

06:46Few people cried.

06:48Most people were silent.

06:50Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

06:58We should strive not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything, your belief is evil.

07:10This is just in, ladies and gentlemen.

07:18President Truman just announced the first ever use of a new secret weapon.

07:22An atomic bomb of unparalleled strength.

07:26The bomb was deployed 16 hours ago and engulfed Hiroshima in a mushroom of fire.

07:30Japanese officials have confirmed the immediate loss of over 78,000 lives following the blast.

07:36With the total number of casualties now exceeding 130,000.

07:40President Truman has called for Japan to surrender or expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth.

07:48Sir, at the time that you first found out about the atomic bomb, did you regard it as a curse or a blessing to mankind?

08:14Well, I thought it was a blessing.

08:16I thought it could be used and made a blessing.

08:18I never worried about this being a curse.

08:20I wanted a weapon that would win the war and it did.

08:23That's what I was interested in.

08:44And I wish you worked, but you can't do anything.

08:45I didn't want you to.

08:47I was like, what?

08:54I didn't want you to get it off of your weapon, and I didn't want you to.

08:56I didn't want you to get it off of your weapon, so you never became a curse.

08:59But you're all the same.

09:01You literally didn't want you to get it off of your weapon.

09:03You do not believe your weapon is no longer than you.

09:06And the only reason you ever have to be used in the fight,

09:09you could do your weapon.
