Inari-Machi Streetcar bridge
"People walking on the Inari-machi streetcar bridge, which was bent by the atomic bomb's blast, with some pillars in the bridge's center, as well as ties and rails, buckled. Part of the ties were ignited by the heat rays. Many victims crossed this bridge seeking refuge at the Eastern Drill Ground and other locations, as the main Inari Bridge for pedestrians, which was next to the streetcar bridge, had collapsed".

On 6 August 1945 an atomic bomb was detonated above Hiroshima, destroying the city apart from this building, the Product Exhibition Hall which opened in 1922 and partially survived the blast. The building is now known as Genbaku Dome or Atomic Bomb Dome and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
