I doubt its an 'A' ! I know the fall-out can cause deformities, but.

Maybe what WAS the vehicle? I'm kinda like Big John; would have thought the ground swell would have moved on thru and devastated ????

The caption on the photo was 'Nagasaki, 20 minutes after the atomic bombing in 1945' , but I agree, it's kind of hard to imagine anyone would be still be standing around? The distance might be deceptive?

The distance may be deceptive and they had know idea what had just happened. They had no idea about an atomic bomb or its effects.

It looks like a 1938 Datsun to me, possibly a Model 17 sedan. Look close at the grille.

The Nagasaki bomb missed the target spot, but still did a lot of damage. The photo might have been taken some distance away from where the bomb hit.

Can you say "Photoshop"? Doubtful that the mushroom cloud would still be there after 20 min.

I agree.
I wonder if it shouldn't have read 20 seconds, or even 2 minutes, but not 20 minutes.

I think you are right. I wasn't sure if Datsun was even around back then.

You guys got me wondering. How long can that cloud hang out? Depending on winds etc up to an hour or much longer. what I read says it takes about 10 minutes for the cloud to stabilize and it grows laterally. Nasty business.

With all the dust that was kicked up, I bet it was there for much longer than 20 minutes.

IN the photo with the fire trucks, are the two on the right 30 Model A's. Shell and bumpers look right.
