August 6, 1945. 8:15 am. An American B-29 bomber streaked across the skies of Hiroshima and dropped its deadly cargo. Seconds after the world's first atomic bomb unleashed 15 kilotons of brute power, most within a radius of one mile were dead. Buildings were razed to the ground, while the survivors wished they were dead.
Fifty-eight years later, a Japanese man prays at the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima. The structure survived the blast that levelled the rest of the city and hastened Japan's surrender in World War II.
