Once Upon a Time On Planet Earth

Once Upon A Time On Planet Earth, on August 6, 1945 at 8:15 AM, the first atomic bomb was dropped on a civilian population in Hiroshima, Japan, killing 80,000 people instantly, and at least 60,000 since then have died, thus marking the beginning of the Nuclear Arms Race.

Sixty-two years later, on August 6, 2007 at 8:15 AM, participants from around the globe each took a single photograph.

"The belief that a single human being can make a difference, gives life to this innovative project. Remembering a single moment in history is the very essence of this global photographic endeavor."

"Once Upon a Time on Planet Earth" is our contribution to today's global dialogue - an essay from the unique and collective perspectives of the photographers who have chosen to participate in this experience.

if you are talking about the melted motorbike in the video...it is a photo from HIROSHIMA the aftermath of the bomb. So yes, there were scooters in the 40's. They have been around for more than 60 years.
