    Devastation at the west end of Miyuki Bridge (Panoramic view)

    At the west end of Miyuki Bridge, 2.2 kilometers southeast of the hypocenter. A police officer from the Ujina Police Station had begun to administer first aid by applying oil stored in the station to the wounds of the injured men and women of all ages who had taken refuge there. Men and women collapsed or squatting, a woman holding a baby, female students receiving first aid, and a police officer are captured in the photo. The railings on the lower river side (left side) of the bridge had been blown into the river. The building on the left is the Senda-machi Police Box of the Ujina Police Station, and the building in the back is Hiroshima Technical Institute. Miyuki Bridge, connecting Senda-machi and Minami-machi, is one of the major bridges in Hiroshima City, on which streetcars also run. (Distance from hypocenter 2200 meters.)
