8:15 AM, August 6th, 1945. Hiroshima, Japan.

Today is the 62nd anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Radgeek points us to Dulce Et Decorum Est: 2007-08-06, a post in memorandum of those 140,000 people who died because of the bombing. Radgeek says,
"As far as I am aware, the atomic bombing of the Hiroshima city center, which deliberately targeted a civilian center and killed over half of the people living in the city, remains the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of the world."
