On This Day

On this day in 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan killing more than 70,000 people and destroying most of the city. Tens of thousands more died afterwards from effects of the fallout.

 "The people I met, the suffering and struggles I witnessed, and the scenes of incredible devastation … caused me to question every belief previously held about my so-called enemies.” - Sgt. Joe O’Donnell, Marine photographer who was on the scene.
