Stories of tragic hero's have held our interest of the centuries for many reasons. Some of these reasons are, some of our hero's go MIA [missing in action] and we have no clue what happend, they saved others lives in return of their own, or the hero's weren't even trying to help. An example of this is [the last one] on August 6th, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This bomb caused devastating radiation that still remains in Hiroshima, and it can still cause cancers and or birth defects. There is a story [A very true story] that says, "The morning the bomb was dropped, someone was standing right outside a bank on the steps. Nobody knows age, gender, nothing about this person. But the were immediately cremated becuae of the bomb, which protected the stone steps. This staircase is held in a museum in Japan to remind us of the past and our heros." I placed an article at the bottom of this page so you can read it.
