More Than 70% Of Nagasaki Survived - Because Of A Terrain No One Paid Attention To

At 11:02 a.m., Nagasaki was erased — but not destroyed.
The second atomic bomb in human history detonated exactly as military calculations intended. The sky split open. Heat and shockwaves powerful enough to annihilate a city were unleashed.
Yet Nagasaki did not die like Hiroshima.
More than 70% of the city’s population survived. Not because the bomb was weaker. Not because people had time to flee. But because of one factor no one truly controlled: terrain.
The hills and valleys surrounding Urakami bent the shockwave, broke the fires apart, and trapped destruction inside a single basin. Within the same city, separated by only a ridgeline, one district was obliterated while another remained standing.
This video explores:
– Why Nagasaki was once considered a “bad target,” yet was added at the last moment
– Why Kyoto was removed from the list just in time
– What truly happened inside the Urakami Valley at 11:02 a.m.
– And why, in a nuclear war, the line between life and death can be as thin as standing on the wrong side of a hill
Nagasaki became the last city ever struck by a nuclear weapon.
Its story is not only about war — it is a warning: even when humanity believes it holds absolute power over destruction, nature may still deliver the final verdict.
