Shadows of Hiroshima "With a blinding flash and a sky-high fireball,
the world's first atomic bomb exploded over the Japanese city of Hiroshima
on August 6, 1945. The American bomb killed about 70,000 Japanese instantly,
and an equal number would soon die of radiation poisoning. The weapon
saved American soldiers' lives and ended the Second World War, but it
ushered in a new era of nuclear arms. CBC Archives looks at the atomic
bomb, its impact on Hiroshima and its legacy." Hiroshima
