THE AFTER PICTURES ARE VISUALLY EXTRAORDINARY

We all know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed in August 1945 after explosion of atomic bombs.
However we know little about the progress made by the people of that land during the past 64 years.

Here are some photos... THE COLORFUL CITY NOW

What's worse is if you go to either the Hiroshima or Nagasaki peace park all they talk about is the American aggression and oil embargo. There is absolutely nothing about Pearl Harbor or the atrocities in China and the Phillipines.

As a side note, all of the pictures that show a sail shaped building or a giant ferris wheel with a roller coaster around it's base are taken in Yokohama, not Hiroshima. The very last picture is Landmark Tower, also in Yokohama.

Not really a fair comparison with those picture because Hiroshima probably glowed in the dark like that for some time after the bomb fell anyway.

  Wow, you are all so messed up if you think that they need to be "bombed again" because Detroit still sucks, and Japan was a capable country who made progress and is always ready to do so. They are extremely affected by what happened all those years ago emotionally, these photos are mainly of the progress they have made, and while I do not deny they have, they are still parts in ruins, not to mention the psychological damage to the Japanese people, who respect their past and history unlike us who use it against other countries. I love America, but it's people can be so degrading and disrespectful of others and their countries. You should hear the way the Japanese talk about you, and I swear it's all good, despite what we did to them, and despite what you still say to them.

The first building of Detroit presented is in fact an old building in Warsaw, Poland at Waliców street which was part of the small ghetto !

It's not surprising that they are a strong city now because, like Germany post WW2, everything got built up but with newer technology so everything was more advanced. hence why Germany have had some of the best made cars in the last 30 years for example.

In Michigan, we gave tax breaks for Studios to make movies in our state. MGM remade Red Dawn and didnt have to spend much on sets, War torn America was already built. Detroit used to be the murder capitol of the US. Now there is no one left to mug or steal from, so the streets are pretty safe. Last time I was there I didnt see a single bum, they all moved to Denver.
