Hiroshima Peace Memorial
Known as the Atomic Bomb Dome, this building was 160m from the hypocenter of the blast on 6th August 1945. Due to the position of the building and the force of the blast bearing almost directly downwards on top of the building, it kept its shape. Everyone inside the building was instantly killed.
