Hiroshima War sites

Today I walked around Hiroshima. I saw all the sites and memorials from the bombing of Hiroshima on October 6th 1945. I found it hard not to get emotional at the sad past of Hiroshima; there are so many sad stories, so many ruined lives and so much suffering that I can't do it justice in writing. Watch the video, and I hope that it conveys the story well enough. I have tried not to include too many things, but just the ones that really touched me.

@dalastdon1432 aha the reason why pearl harbor was attacked was because it was a naval base in asia japan wanted to end the american presence in asia and they saw an excellent opportunity to criple its navy, the two countries as you know went to war, the reason they dropped the bomb was to show they could it was a message for other countries and the reason they did it it was because it was japs they would not ever dropped the bomb on germany because they are white caucasians that is the fact.

@dalastdon1432 But let me ask you this? Was nukeclear holocuast really the answer?

[TempletonIII]

Omg "attacked first". Destroying these cities brought more deaths than us lost in the whole war! You as americans must be bombed with nukes nowadays then. Since US bombed more than 20 countries in last 50 years. disgusting pile of "democratic" bullshit above bunch of greedy fat freaks with making money as a main goal in life. Disgusting shitty country.

lol, says who?

[dalastdon1432]

so when the Japanese attacked the Philipinos and the Chinese, not to mention Pearl Harbor, they were saints? the USA did what they felt was right in order to protect their own country and prevent more casualties. I do feel bad for those civilians that lost loved ones in that attack but understand that we as Americans were attacked first.

I bet they wont ever try to bomb our naval bases again huh? the japanese govt makes it out to seem like THEY were the victims, when in reality back then everyone was, it was a WORLD WAR!!! they made a move and so did we. except I'm sure they didnt know that we would decimate their cities.

for the person who is talking in the video... it'd be better if you didnt show feeling like your sadness and sentiment. here you are a guide, so i for one, dont want to hear a sad talk from you, i would prefer just an explination, and then i would show the emotion. Its still a good video...

oh, and its missing maybe some peaceful piano or 'theme' music.

US - the only country that used nukes on CIVILIANS. I can imagine what'd happen if US only would have atom bombs in 60-70-90-00 years... Fucking States of UglyFatGreederica. It will fall down really soon and the world will applause.
