The Burned Tricycle
from Ants Under The Sun · host Norman Chella
I saw it first-hand. Three-wheeled and tiny, the right size for a 5-year old. Rustic, broken, singed at the handles, the tires, and stuck to the very floor it was extracted from when it happened. A remnant depicting one of the greatest atrocities in human history. We walked in a line, there were so many people who wanted to pause and take in the pictures of people dying, burned to the core. Indeed, they were burned to the core. I hope they enjoyed these photographs. The ones who suffered didn't. Myself included. We kept on walking.Researchhttps://www.nippon.com/en/features/h00141/hiroshima-peace-memorial-park.html http://visithiroshima.net/things_to_do/attractions/parks_and_gardens/peace_memorial_park.html https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3400.htmlEntry on the tricycle: http://a-bombdb.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/pdbe/detail/153487CreditsMusic from https://filmmusic.io "Sovereign" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Music from https://filmmusic.io (https://filmmusic.io) "Mesmerize" by Kevin MacLeod ( https://incompetech.com (https://incompetech.com) ) License: CC BY ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) ) Music from https://filmmusic.io (https://filmmusic.io) "Private Reflection" by Kevin MacLeod ( https://incompetech.com (https://incompetech.com) ) License: CC BY ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) ) Music from https://filmmusic.io (https://filmmusic.io) "Ripples" by Kevin MacLeod ( https://incompetech.com (https://incompetech.com) ) License: CC BY ( http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) ) Audio of the highschool choir spliced from personal footage.
