El 'Ground Zero' original / The original Ground Zero

Per sempre més la ciutat d'Hiroshima estarà lligada a la destrucció nuclear, des del fatidic 6 d'agost del 1945. És dificil d'explicar tot l'horror que aquest nom ara implica.

 

Aqui es pot veure el punt exacte sobre el cual, a uns 300 metres d'alçada, va explotar la bomba atòmica. Està just a la cantonada de la més famosa 'Cupula atomica'.

 

--------------------------------

 

For ever more the name of Hiroshima would be linked with nuclear destruction and the madness of war. It's dificult to write down all that this name means.

 

This is the exact place where the atomic bomb exploded (well, at an altitude of 300 meters over here). Its located just in the next street to the most famous Atomic Bomb Dome.
