The Bull's Eye for the Enola Gay, Hiroshima
May 2014. This video is of the T bridge, which was the bull's eye of the target for the warplane Enola Gay when it dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
Amazing Video of Stork Sitting on Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome
In the first section, you can faintly hear a fiddler. He is playing underneath the nearby Aioi Bridge (the large T-shaped bridge, which the American military had intended as the target of the atomic bomb).
The stork is a symbol of peace, and in this video, there is a stork sitting on the Genbaku Dome-mae (the Atomic Dome building). This felt beautiful, that in the midst of such destruction, there was a symbol of peace.
Near the end of the video, you hear an airplane. It was an eerie feeling, to be in the dark, in the shadows of the Atomic Dome, with an airplane engine buzzing low overhead. It's a reminder of the terror that was inflicted here on hundreds of thousands of women, children, and old people.
