The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum released digitally remastered footage on July 6 that shows Hiroshima in April 1935, 10 years before a U.S. nuclear bomb was dropped on the city toward the end of the Second World War.The rare video, said to have been donated to the museum in 1963, shows everyday scenes along the Motoyasu River, including the Aioi Bridge, the intended target of the atomic bomb. The bomb detonated at 540m directly above the nearby Shima Hospital on the left bank of the river.
