When I saw the pictures of the completely burnt out districts, the first thing I thought of was Hiroshima. At least we got most of the people out first this time, though.
- Schiendelman 2y agoMuch/most of the damage at Hiroshima was the resulting fires, not the explosion, so it's very similar!
- spike021 2y agoAs someone who’s spent their entire life in california near these types of fires and someone who recently visited the Hiroshima memorial museum, this take is pretty disingenuous.
- macintux 2y agoAs someone who’s not participating in the discussion, can you elaborate? “No it isn’t” is an unhelpful response without any explanation whatsoever.
- rasz 2y agoFirst thing I thought was hopefully they wont rebuild using same cardboard and wood in a highly fire prone area.
