Description | Students suddenly engulfed in light; they lost consciousness and came to in hell. Drawing and text / Setsuko Morita August 6, 1945 Approx. 2,500m from the hypocenter Onaga-machi (now, Hikari-machi) "I don't know how long I was unconscious. When I came to, I was here, 2 or 3 meters from where I had been pulling weeds. The weeds were on fire. I was woozy, but eventually started looking around. I was in hell."
