32. Hiroshima Gas Corporation Monument
The sky was blue that day, too.
Half a century later,
The sky is clear today, too.
Invisible substances

Explanation
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.
