A look back at August 6, 1945

Here's a link to the Denver Post Blog showing a collection of photos relating to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. There's no doubt that this single event had an irreversible effect on the warfare as we knew it.

I got the chills after looking at and reading the caption in the first picture. To have a picture of the watch "frozen" in time is quite eerie.

The other thing that caught my eye is how you can see the vast amount of destruction that took place. Very rarely do see anything more than rubble in the background of the images -- all of the buildings have been completely destroyed.
