7. A Haunting Shadow from the Hiroshima Bombing
When the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, the explosion literally vaporized so many people within seconds that there is no accurate count of how many people perished. The blast’s radiation caused imprints on the surfaces where people were vaporized, leaving thousands upon thousands of “death shadows” on the city. This picture looks like something spilled on a porch. However, it is all that remains of someone vaporized by the explosion, and we have no idea who the person was.
