In photographs: Hiroshima and Nagasaki after nuclear attacks
(Euronews) It was
76 years ago today that the US military thought it was a good idea to ruin the world by imagining and carrying out a crime against humanity. Today marks 76 years since the US devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons. The US dropped atomic bombs on people in these cities on August 6 and 9, 1945, almost completely destroying them. Between 130,000 and 226,000 people — nearly all noncombatant civilians — had their lives taken from them.
These archive photographs show the scale of the devastation the nuclear weapons caused.
