Description At the so-called pika (flash), I instantly covered my face with my hands and was trying to duck on the ground when the tremendous don (boom) happened. Falling counterclockwise, I noticed for a brief instant Hiroshima Castle leaning leftward in a cloud of dust just before I was dashed to the ground.
