The other day for the first time "Hiroshima atomic bomb Dome and flat sum Memorial Museum" they visited.
Finally visited, at this age, has somewhat embarrassing. Descend on "Genbaku Dome-Mae tram stop" there are front of Peace Memorial Park. Go to a-bomb Dome appeared immediately. That impression, "small..." that was that. Will know the meaning later. It is seen from the ferocity of the bombing at that time at peace Memorial Museum.
It is that "only it intervened building". Park walked along the motoyasu River. It was quiet. Cross the bridge and see the picture children's peace monument, turn left there and flame of the "peace lamp" light and continued to the monument containing the names of. Standing before the monument visible flame front, atomic bomb Dome moved the Interior.
You looked so downright sad. You may be surprised at the Peace Memorial Museum is two. One entrance fee adult children and students were foreign visitors 30 yen cheap another one as a, is ¥ 50. "Japanese people than in? "And all I had I think.
They think that not only Americans a victorious country is really how it felt "a nightmare of Hiroshima"? The Museum had a panoramic model with aerial bombing before and after. See it can understand the situation well. Above 600 meters above the ground with a blast! "-To 4000 ° f heat, 19 tons of 1 m2 / blast and radioactivity swept ground to 3000 degrees after the second. Square that is 2 km from the Center. Leaving only a part of the reinforced concrete structure on earth everything is blown out in an instant, burned and destroyed.
After "Shadowlands, many people got badly burned seek water..." couldn't believe it. America dropped the atomic bomb in Hiroshima at that time, dropped just three days later on Nagasaki. "One bomb of Hiroshima" 140000 people died that year and many people suffering he was dead after that in the aftermath of. Whatever is the reason "for the early settlement of war" that was "dropped the real why do?
"... Those questions remain in my mind today.
