  1. That's a darn good question. They should build their houses out of those arches.

  4. Steel or cement. Even at ground zero they found a steel bank safe still standing where the bank had been. Most of the destruction was from the fire storm after the bombs were dropped.

    The documentary called Hiroshima is a harrowing film. We watched it in 11th grade. A very real way to wake up people on why we don't want a war using atomic weapons.

  5. Given that the epicenter of the earthquake was at the opposite end of Japan from Nagasaki, I am calling fake pic on this one.
