No
visit to Japan is complete without paying respects
at Ground Zero, Peace Park, Hiroshima City. |

At
08:15 August 6th, 1945, an atomic bomb exploded
above the city of Hiroshima, incinerating bodies and
buildings in an instant.
160,000 people were killed instantly and many more
succumbed afterwards from injuries and radioactive
fall-out.
It
is an emotional experience to walk from A-bomb Dome
past various statues and memorial tombstones to the
Memorial and Reference Museum. A once in a life
time experience that every citizen of the world will
value. |
