Eccoed horrors of the past entry 16

Today we went took an adventure to a very dark part of Americas past, it was one of the hardest places I have ever gone to. We woke up this morning met Dr.V and went to Hiroshima where exactly 70 years ago 150,000 lives vanished in less then 10 seconds with after effects of 350,000 total lives gone from the long term effects of radiation left by the terrible A-bomb. We started out at the A-bomb dome where the A-bomb exploded over, it is kept in the exact same conditions that it was found after the massive explosion. This building was physical proof of the terror that happened that day, it was chard and crumbling with the skeleton of the dome still present. It was almost frightening being in the presence of this building to see the horror of it in person. I felt like I could see the whole thing happen right before my eyes, how much panic I would be feeling right before my body was disintegrated by the molten blast of the bomb. After this experience the flood of emotion was not even close to being quelled. After we were done at the A-bomb dome we went into the museum that exhibited even more of the horrors that this day brought on, as soon as I passed through the entry way which was designed to simulate what it might look like to see Hiroshima after the explosion from the A-bomb dome, I was in a mood of sorrow for all the lives that our military brought to an end that day. There were figures made to look like children with their skin literally melting off their bodies from the heat of the explosion, there was a chard tricycle and helmet from a child who was just enjoying his or her life and one of the most grizzly things was the ashes of a human being that settled on the steps after there body was disintegrated by the fire of the bomb, a complete human living their life was reduced to nothing more then a pile of ash. It is so ugly what human beings are capable of, we can be the most dangerous living organisms on the face of this planet. All in all It was a terrible thing what we did to the Japanese people but something had to be done to end the war, however i'm not sure if an a-bomb was the best choice. life is such a precious thing, to take it away in such a magnitude is a very ugly thing, I just can't get over the thought of there had to be a better way of doing it but I cant give an answer to what that could have been. all I know is that 70 years ago 150,000 innocent lives were taken away in a matter of seconds, God rest the souls of all who perished on that horrifying day.
