Today, August 6, it is exactly 65 years ago the first (and one of only two) nuclear bombs was ever used in war. 70,000–80,000 people, or some 30% of the population of Hiroshima were killed immediately, and another 70,000 injured. Over 90% of the doctors and 93% of the nurses in Hiroshima were killed or injured—most had been in the downtown area which received the greatest damage.
What a horrible day.
