Last crawled date: 1 year, 8 months ago

this is a model of the a bomb dome . The most famous landmark in Hiroshima is the Atomic Bomb Dome ('Gembaku Domu' in Japanese).The building's original name was the Industrial Promotion Hall, and it was considerably larger than the remains left after the explosion .It was one of the few buildings left standing within a two kilometer (one and a quarter mile) radius of the explosion. very few structures in the area, such as the Bank of Japan building, were repaired afterwards and are still used today. The Atomic Dome itself was too badly damaged to be saved It was really a very attractive building, making it a fitting memorial to what happened on the 6th of august 1945. #atom #atomic #blast #bomb #death #destruction #japan #ruin #ruins #war #world_war_two
