Sixty-four years ago today, at approximately 8.15am, the uranium bomb called “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima, a city on the southern part of Japan. Needless to say, the city was reduced to ashes.
Today, Hiroshima has recovered from the devastation. No physical scars are seen, not even at the ground zero.
If not for the existence of photographic evidence, 64 years from now, this “historic” milestone in the science of destruction would have been reduced to just myths and legends.
