My research started when I was doing a report on the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, and I found this in the Getty archives 
Obviously, those are the same mushroom cloud. And the more I looked, the more TV and online reports I found conflating the two: CNN, France24, even us at DW.
Today is the 75th anniversary of the bombing of #Hiroshima.
It was the 1st time a nuclear weapon was used in anger & it left a searing impression on the world.
But that impression is fading, and with it the political consensus to address arms control. #Hiroshima75 <thread>

Eleven United States Senators were born before Hiroshima.
Of those, only five were older than 5 years old when the bomb was dropped.
Of the five who were old enough to remember that event, only one, @SenFeinstein, is a champion for non-proliferation.

None of the four Republican Senators old enough to remember Hiroshima voted in support of New START, the signature nuclear arms control agreement between the US and Russia.
New START is up for renewal in the beginning of 2021, and the negotiations are taking place right now.

#OnThisDay at 08:15 in 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Today we remember the lives lost and vow to double down on our campaign for a nuclear free world.

Emma Collinson remembers #Hiroshima75
It's 75 years since the bombing of Hiroshima and we are forgetting that it was as much of a watershed moment as #COVID19.
35 years after I visited the Peace Park, the memory still fills me with a sense of urgency.

The Nobel to @ICANN apart, that we still need to talk about nuclear disarmament says something about our unwillingness to learn.

Nuclear disarmament is a feminist issue, and this is why.

75th anniversary of the Trinity atomic bomb test! Some wondeful stories about how the Manhattan Project influenced science & culture.

What would have happened had Trinity test failed? Bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Soviet declaration of war & invasion of Manchuria, US rejection of the conditional surrender offer, an abortive coup by Japanese officers all took place in the same week!

Hasegawa's "Racing the Enemy" (based on US, Soviet & Japanese archives) was eyeopening. Stalin accelerated plans to invade Japan as soon as Truman told him about Trinity test in Postdam. Both atomic bomb & Soviet invasion about securing terms of surrender.
