At the end of the day, the cloud of smoke coming from the Station Fire is overwhelming and looks like the atomic bomb. On August 28th, 2009, the Station Fire that burned in the Angeles Crest Fire has a cloud of smoke that is overwhelming. When the fire was finally contained and fully put out, two fire fighters lost their lives, 18 people lost their homes, and 42,500 acres was burned.

What was left from the terrible catastrophe
“At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today.
The atomic bomb exploded at a height of 600 meters, 160 meters to the southeast of the Atomic Bomb Dome. At the time, the building was the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. At the moment of detonation, the blast exerted 35 tons of pressure per square meter and created a fierce wind speed of 440 meters per second. The building absorbed the powerful explosion and heat, and burst into flames. Because the impact of the blast came almost directly overhead, curiously the thick outer walls and the steel dome escaped complete destruction. However, the people who were inside at the time died instantly and the interior of the building was completely gutted by fire.”
Although the exact time is unknown, the building with its exposed steel dome began to be referred to as the "Atomic Bomb Dome".
It was a moving experience to fathom the viciousness of such attack a group of human can cause to another in the name of war.
