Today marks the 64th Anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb. Occurring at 8:15 AM a blinding white light surrounded the city. People were thrown about, eyes melted onto faces, babies were instantly aborted within womens’ stomachs and hundreds of thousands of victims would suffer the specter that is leukemia until their premature death.
Not the most pleasant day to remember but a critical day in the forging of our future. View the images here and check out my review of John Hersey’s Hiroshima here.
