It’s your friend Aman here.
Today, we will see Hiroshima, Japan. An eye opener and a very inspiring city.
When you think about Japan, you think about – technology, cars, bullet trains, capsule hotels, arcade games etc.
In this video, we will have a look at The A-Bomb dome. It is the ruins of the former Hiroshima Prefecture Industrial Promotion Hall which was detroyed by the first atomic bomb ever to be used in the history of humankind on August 6, 1945.
8:15 am, aug 6, 1945, an American B29 bomber carried out the world’s first atomic bomb and the bomb was detonated in the air at an altitude of 600 meters almost right over the hall. The explosion by a single bomb claimed the lives of over 200,000 people and the city area of about 2 km radius was turned into ashes. In order to have this tragic fact known to succeeding generations and to make it a lesson for humankind, the reinforcement work of the ruins has been done by the contributions of many people who desire peace within and out of the country. The ruins shall be preserved forever.
For many years, public opinions about the dome remained divided. Some felt it should be preserved as a memorial to the bombing, while others thought it should be destroyed as a dangerously dilapidated structure evoking painful memories. As the city was rebuilt, other A-bombed buildings vanished and the voices calling for preservation gathered strength. In 1966, Hiroshima city council passed resolution to preserve the A-bomb.
In December 1996, the A-bomb Dome was registered on the World Heritage List as a historical witness conveying the horror of the first use of a nuclear weapon and as a world peace monument appealing continually for lasting peace and the abolition of such weapons.
