Whoa! Devastating fate. Makes me wonder why we keep toying with nuclear bombs in this sick global game of Chicken.

This picture also reminded me of those images captured on building walls from WII. Nice job.

That’s what happened in Hiroshima. This literally happened to people. There one instant, vaporized the next, like they never even existed. Gone in an instant.

We hope this will never come to reality, but in truth all it takes is a bit of greed on the part of the gatekeepers.

Oh, I just read a small book called “Hiroshima” by a journalist who visited and interviewed survivors in 1946…so chilling. He spoke specifically of the image of a painter dipping his brush into a paint can–preserved in all its detail on a concrete building. Horrors.

I’ve been to the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima and I’ve seen, as closely as any of us can in this generation, what nuclear war did to humanity. It was an overwhelming experience to visit the place where such devastation occurred. Still, all I can do is shake my head.

Your 33 made me look at the picture again and ponder the horrific truth of nuclear annihilation….I’d rather be a shadow on the wall than a survivor, slowly dying!
