People gathered to pray at the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan, in commemoration of 80 years since the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the city on Aug. 6, 1945, marking the first use of a nuclear weapon in war. More than 100,000 people were killed instantly from the bomb and hundreds of thousands died in the following years from injuries and illnesses caused by the radiation. The use of atom bombs in Hiroshima and, three days later, the nearby city Nagasaki, remain the only times nuclear weapons have been used in warfare. Japan surrendered on Aug. 15.
