Hiroshima is a day not of celebration but of a day of remembrance. Millions of souls lost their lives due to the catastrophic explosion. On a bright and beautiful sunny Monday morning of the 6th of August 1945 , the beautiful city of Hiroshima was reduced to an actual picture of hell. 80,000 died instantly, and by the end of the year of 1945 another 60,000 succumbed to radiation poisoning and other dreadful injuries, bringing the death toll to 140,000, out of a total population of 300,000.

The uranium  fueled  bomb made in a devilish design to maximize the devastation was detonated at 8.15 a.m. Even after this devastation , the Americans did not step behind for a further attack. On 9^th August 1945, they dropped the FEROCIOUS MONSTER on Nagasaki. The nuclear blast annihilated Nagasaki and killed 73,884.
