Hiroshima

If you haven`t heard of Hiroshima then you fell asleep during every history lesson you ever took. The Atomic Bomb Dome is a building that was almost directly under the blast back in 1945 and survived; seriously scared but intact. Take a scene from any apocolyptic film, freeze frame and drop it into the middle of a modern day.

The Museum nearby has a lot to see. Touch a roof tile where the intence heat caused the surface to melt and reform bobbled and rough. Run your fingers from a shielded smooth "before" to the rough "after".

Watches stopped at the moment of detentation.
