12 December: Atomic Bomb Museum & Peace Park

Images and items from the ruins filled the exhibition area to illustrate the impact and damages of the atomic bomb. The impact was beyond words that we could describe. It's not merely taking away human lives, but from the impact saw in the pictures, it's almost total destruction of the entire piece of land! I guess, the most horrible part was the 'aftermath' killing without bloodshed through chemical radiation!

After seeing the exhibits, now I undestand what were all these gamma, beta rays all about... what were they used for (when not put into good use!) and the impact it could create instead of trying to imagine what was described in textbooks.

The guide explained that the people of Nagasaki were angry and sad, being the accidental victims as the city was not one of those shortlisted, but because due to poor visibility and the bomb hit the place. On the other hand, I think, no matter which city the bomb was dropped, it would still create the kind of huge impact we saw. That's absolute cr

This memorial park site is about 250m away from the 'epicenter' of the bombing.

A giant statue with the left arm positioned horizontally, hand pointing outwards to symbolise peace while the finger of the right arm pointing upwards to warn for the destructive impact of the atomic bombing.
