HIROSHIMA, JAPAN- Today marks the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima. About 50 thousand people gathered at a memorial service, marking the day the U.S. dropped an A-bomb on the city back in 1945. During the ceremony, participants prayed silently at 8:15 a.m., the moment the bomb was dropped. The names of victims are stored in a stone vault. Japan is the only nation in the world to witness the first-hand destruction of an atomic bomb.
