Human shadow etched on steps 260 metres from Hiroshima blast
Original: Sombra de una persona sentada en los escalones del banco Sumitomo a 260 metros de la zona cero de la explosión de Little
A photograph of the so-called human shadow — a silhouette left on the stone steps of the Sumitomo bank, about 260 metres from the hypocentre of the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima — is being widely shared. The image, held at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, shows where a person sat on the steps at the moment of the August 1945 explosion, their body shielding the stone from the flash.
Why now: The striking image from the Hiroshima bombing is circulating again, likely tied to remembrance of the atomic attack.
