The nightmare aftermath of Hiroshima: Parents carry burned children past corpses and rubble in rare photographs taken during the days after atomic bomb killed 140,000 people

  • Horrifically injured locals are pictured dying on flattened streets strewn with corpses just hours after the bomb hit
  • Radiation in the city was so intense that everybody pictured in the chilling images would have died soon afterwards
  • The images taken 70 years ago today show mothers cradling their badly injured babies while covered in blood
  • Japan is today remembering the 140,000 killed in the initial blast, as well the countless numbers who died later
