At this instant in 1945 (8:15 AM August 6, local time), Little Boy—a 15-kiloton, uranium-fueled atomic bomb—destroyed Hiroshima, killing (per official US military estimates) ~70,000 men, women, and children, incl. 12 American POWs. Independent estimates later maintained ~140,000 people were killed.

Read John Hersey’s powerful, unforgettable August 1946 New Yorker article, “Hiroshima,” describing the horrific devastation of the city as recounted by six survivors: a clerk, a doctor, a tailor’s widow, a German priest, a surgeon, and a Methodist pastor—the first unvarnished account of the bombing.

Hiroshima

A hundred thousand people were killed by the atomic bomb. Survivors wonder why they lived when so many others died.

On the morning of August 6, 1945, Shinichi Tetsutani, who was one month shy of turning four years old, was riding this tricycle, playing with his best friend, a girl named Kimi, 1,500 meters away from where the Little Boy atomic bomb exploded overhead. When found in the wreckage of his house, he was still grasping the red handlebar grip from his tricycle. Severely injured and burned all over his body, calling out, “Water, I want water,” he died that night. Shinichi’s father buried him in the backyard with his favorite toy, and his best friend Kimi, so he could ride it and play even after death. Forty years later, in 1985, Shinichi’s father, Nobuo, decided to rebury his son in the family’s gravesite. Unearthing the backyard grave with Kimi’s mother, Nobuo rediscovered the tricycle and donated it to the museum.

Do you think they all knew what a banger they were making at the time? Cassavetes's smirk! Myrna Loy in radiant color! The introduction of Dog! Marvels everywhere you look.

I wasn't up on any of this, but I take a personal interest, as the owner of a 1973 sunburst strat that I've had for about 40 years
