Hiroshima Day

The atom bomb brought an empty victory to the Allied arms, but it resulted for the time being in destroying the soul of Japan."

~M.K Gandhi

Monday, August 6,1945 at 8:15am, one of the most disastrous days in the history of Japan. The nuclear weapon named 'little boy' was dropped on Hiroshima,a quiet city in Japan.

The 'Little Boy' had completely destroyed the city. Man had once again proved to be the major cause of the destruction of man himself. Thousands of people had taken their last breath that day. Dead bodies surrounded the city. The buildings, houses, the entire landscape was shattered and completely done away with. Within few seconds, the entire city seemed to be utterly disfigured at once. There were bodies of the dead covered in blood and broken pieces of buildings lying everywhere. The city, Hiroshima had witnessed its biggest moment of crisis that day. Humanity had lost in the hands of power and greed yet again. That day, August 6, 'little boy' was not only dropped on Hiroshima. It had also marked the failure of humanity. It proved that humanity was not above all, sadly it was perhaps the acquisition of power and cruelty which outshined humanity.
