On August 6, 1945, a single B-29 bomber flew undisturbed over mainland Hiroshima. It was a bright morning, and people were just waking up and preparing for the day ahead of them. The calm was ruined by the push of the button and the drop of a single bomb - just like that, Hiroshima went up in flames. Families were torn apart by the unwarranted travesty of justice that is the atomic bomb. Three days later, Emperor Hirohito of Japan declared surrender to the United States of America. The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was brutal and horrific. It was an act that would resonate with the Japanese people for the rest of time, and would redefine their lives in terms of their health and social status.
