Tech Srgt Myron R. Killions Pics of A-bomb aftermath

Here are pics my grandfather took of what was left after one of the bombs hit. Chuck thinks that it is Hiroshima due to some things we saw in Richards pics from his recent visit. You guys take a look and see what you think. I will load all the pics. Some may not be the area and I can delete/move them to another thread if we can rule them out for being Hiroshima or Nagaski.
First some of his buddies. I have no names and some of these may be somewhere else.

More Japan scenes. It looks with the hills in the background like it is close to the strike of the bomb.

Pretty sure that is Hiroshima and the surrounding area....That Torii gate is definately the same one Richard took pics of at that temple near Iwakuni. I glad you got them up...those are simply AMAZING!

Maybe Richard can post the picture for comparison? Also some of the others if they match up?
