Hiroshima

Clip 1

This is a video without spoken narration. There is a song in the background, and some of the signboards are in English and some in another language. However, in cases like this, pictures speak loudly enough for themselves. I have left out some of the “harsher” pictures.

This is also without narration but with a musical background. A lot of the destruction of the buildings I couldn't capture screen images of since it was all done so fast.

Again, there is no actual narration. Apparently these people are all going about their normal lives when the bomb is dropped, except for one soldier on a train. The train is hit by the shock wave from the bomb and he is injured, but apparently he makes it back to the city. I think what he has found is where is home is supposed to be, but there is nothing left there.
