HIROSHIMA 75 - BLACK RAIN 7481

BLACK RAIN:

"Black rain, black rain

Huge drops

People craned their neck

To the sky

With their mouth open wide

Hot bodies, so very hot

They wanted water"

AKIKO TAKAKURA

 

Radioactive 'black rain' was created from soot and water vapour in the mushroom cloud to fall upon the survivors.
