I had a presentation in Hiroshima Tuesday night so I decided to stay the night and spend some time in Hiroshima today. This clip above is a 5-min montage of clips I shot with a very low-rez (but convenient) Flip camera. All editing was done in Quick Time -- all cut & paste. That's it. It does not get any more basic than that. So yes, the quality is pretty low in every way, but it was very quick to put together on the train ride home. As for Hiroshima itself, it's perhaps my favorite city in Japan. As for the event that happened on Aug 6, 1945, well I think everyone in the world should visit Hiroshima and spend some time in the Memorial Museum and the Peace Park and reflect on the significance of that day. No one comes away from the park unchanged.
 
(Warning: Several of the photos in the video (in the middle section) are quite horrific but give the visitors to the museum at least some tiny glimpse of the terrible human suffering caused by the Atomic bomb.)
