The sky was blue that day, too.

Explanation

Hiroshima Gas Corporation Monument

The Hiroshima Gas Corporation was located 210 m from the hypocenter.
It was a three-story reinforced concrete building with a basement. The A-bomb destroyed the building, leaving only part of the south side, and killed all the staff inside, about 35 people. The floors and ceilings of each floor collapsed in one piece in the extraordinary windblast pressure.

Location : Ote-machi, Naka-ku
