      Don't get me wrong; the firebombings of Japanese cities were horrible war crimes. But I think there's a unique horror to a nuclear bomb that goes beyond anything conventional weapons can cause. The descriptions in this post start to express the horror but it goes much deeper than even that. People near the center of the explosions were so completely obliterated that the only traces of them left were their shadows, burned onto concrete walls forever.
