Japan marks 68 years since Hiroshima
Children wear masks to protect themselves from radiation in the devastated city of Hiroshima nearly three years after the U.S. bombing of the city on Aug. 6, 1945.
Around 140,000 people, or more than half of Hiroshima's population at the time, died in the first atomic bombing, with another 70,000 people perishing in the bomb dropped over Nagasaki Aug. 9, 1945. Countless thousands others died in the years following from radiation poisoning.
Aug. 6, 2013 marks the 68th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
