Japan: Hiroshima marks 69th anniversary of US atomic bombing
Sombre citizens gathered Wednesday at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan to mark the 69th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Those who came for the Peace Memorial Ceremony went silent as the Peace Bell was rung and sirens sounded throughout the city at 0815 local time (2315 GMT Tuesday), the exact time the bomb was dropped.
The bomb was dropped August 6, 1945 in the closing days of World War II and marked the first time a nuclear device had ever been used in war. Over 100,000 people died instantly, with tens of thousands more dying later from radiation sickness and cancer. A second atomic bomb would also dropped on Nagasaki.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, it has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind; it also expresses the hope for world peace ...

Japan: Hiroshima marks 74th anniversary of atomic bomb
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Hiroshima's Memorial Peace Park on Tuesday, to commemorate the 74th anniversary of the US dropping the atomic bomb on the city. Among the attendees were several high-level politicians, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
After laying a wreath at the ceremony, Abe addressed those in attendance, saying we should not repeat the tragedy brought to Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the nuclear bomb. As the only one country exposed to the nuclear bomb, it is [our] mission which will never change, even as the new Reiwa era came, to continuously make efforts in order to make the world in peace without holding any nuclear weapons.
The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 in what became the closing days of World War II, and marked the first time a nuclear device had ever been used in war.
Over 20,000 Japanese soldiers and around 140,000 civilians were killed in the Hiroshima bombing, which was conducted in concurrence with a second atomic bombing of Nagasaki, where the death toll is estimated to be around 74,000. Many died immediately while others succumbed to injuries or passed-away due to radiation-related illnesses weeks, months and years later.

The date when they released the bomb at Hiroshima, was the day when humanity entered into the nuclear barbarian era. It is when we have started not to tell ourselves, 'it is horrible, let's never do that again'. But countries such as the United States have programmed researches on constructing nuclear weapons and still continue, and especially in France where they invest billions of euros to update the French weapons such as missiles, submarines etc.

STORYLINE:
Anti-nuclear activists marked the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with solemn ceremonies in Paris and Berlin on Tuesday.
A group of about 35 activists held a minute's silence in front of the Peace Wall close to the Eiffel tower in the French capital at 8:15 (06.15 GMT), the exact time the first bomb exploded on the city of Hiroshima in August 6, 1945, killing at least 140,000 people in the world's first atomic attack.
The bombing of Nagasaki three days later killed tens of thousands more, prompting Japan's surrender to the World War II Allies.
We believe that we must not forget that event, which has left a mark in the history of the world and it stays as an indelible mark in the history of the humanity, said Jean-Pierre Dacheux, of the anti-nuclear organisation Vigilance house.
We believe that there is still place for the thought of a definitive abolition of nuclear weapons, they cannot bring any peace to the world.

Hiroshima Bombing Story | Tour around the Atomic Hypocenter ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Today is the 74th anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing - August 6, 2019
Hiroshima, August 6, 1945. It’s a day that changed everything. The atomic bomb decimated the city, killing nearly all nearby the blast. Fast forward about 75 years later, and Hiroshima is now a beautiful city, resurrected from the ruins of the post war period. Near the hypocenter is the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park and Museum and across the river, the A-Bomb Dome which sits as it did, destroyed after the bomb in ruins. We'll look at the area around the hypocenter and see old video footage from 1945 after the bomb. We'll also meet a witness who will describe in detail the horror he saw as he volunteered to help in Hiroshima on August 7, 1945, the next day.
We’re now in the 4th generation since the bomb was dropped, those that were kids who could remember are now in their 80s and 90s. Yuji is a 3rd generation Hiroshima resident since the bomb and he wants to share the city of Hiroshima so people don’t forget the past. He learned a lot from his great uncle who told him stories as a kid of the horrors of that day and how the city rebuilt. Another reason is that he wants to teach his son so he can pass on the stories from his family who were alive nearby on that tragic day. They're now tour guides in Hiroshima.
At age 92, Yuji’s great uncle shares his story of the day he will never forget. He lived in Kure city near by, saw the mushroom cloud and went into the city to help. His account is graphic, the scene is grim and real.
The city cannot erase it’s past but it can move on and write the next chapter in its history and I think that is where Hiroshima is today. Tourism to the city is increasing, many international visitors stop by Hiroshima to understand what happened on that day, pay their respects, and tours like the one with Yuji and Magical Trip I took is a way to understand just how much the city changed that day and how it’s re-invented itself since. I hope you can feel something for Hiroshima and if you are in Japan, it's a must visit destination.
★ Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour can be reserved here:
Note: The tour takes about 4.5 hours. Child tour guide assistant may not always be present during tours.
▶︎WHERE is Hiroshima and the Peace Park?
Thank you to Magical Trip for helping me with this story to connect the past with the present and get a better understanding of where Hiroshima came from and where it is gong in the future.
