I have never experienced anything like what I felt the first time I went to Hiroshima center. You look around and see people going to and from work, children running through parks, traffic moving normally and know that everything was just like that seconds before it was obliterated. It's a visceral, nauseous feeling that brought me to tears.
It's easy to joke about nuclear destruction, but very difficult to comprehend the sheer horror it represents.
