                  World War, an atom bomb was
                  dropped on the Japanese city of
                  Hiroshima. The atom bomb spread
                  radiation around the area and this
                  caused a lot of harm to people. The
                  radiation caused most of the people
                  either to become seriously ill or die.
                  Moreover, it destroyed some bodily
                  systems of the exposed people, and
                  this in turn caused their children to
                  be born either sick or crippled.

                  the Russian city Chernobyl in 1986.
