Topic Reading-Vol.1216-8/10/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Fourdays and seventy years ago in HIroshima
Four days and seventy years ago on a sizzling summer morning, Hiroshima was atomic-bombed.
There were hundreds thousands of innocent civilians in the city in western Japan starting their day. Shortly after eight in the morning, tens of thousands people were killed instantly by the heat wave and more shortly after by the burns and radiation. By the end of the year, over a hundred thousand died.
Who could have done that? Having known exactly and precisely what they had done, they did it again to Nagasaki only three days after to test another type of atomic bomb to show their capability and determination. No matter what the rationales were, any gods in the world an in history would have allowed such mass genocides.
70 years after the tragedy, Japan’s Asahi Newspaper has created a very intensive photo work that almost time-travel you four days after the bombing.
If you click the photo, it'll start showing 360-degree panorama view of Hiroshima four days and 70 years ago. You’ll see what devastating the power of the atomic bomb. But what you will NOT see in the panorama photo is how severely people suffered by the heat and radiation.
