Ruin of
Hiroshima Prefectural Commercial Exhibition
Hall, Hiroshima Japan
At 8:15 AM on the morning of August 6, 1945,
Little Boy, the first atomic bomb used in war, was detonated almost
directly above this
building. The heat of the explosion immediately melted the
copper Genbaku Dome, partially dissipating the pressure so at least some
of the building managed to stay intact.
