Hiroshima was the first city in the world to have an atomic bomb dropped on it. The bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945 at precisely 8:15 am. Almost all of the buildings in the city within a two kilometer radius of the hypocenter were destroyed. The A-Bomb Dome or the Hiroshima Peace Memorial was one of the few that remained. This building now stands as a memorial to the people who were killed from the bombing.

the bomb itself was about three meters long
