Welcome back to Video Thursday here at Covered Bridge.
Since this week marks the 70th year since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and because atomic bomb concerns continue to make headlines, we thought it would be fitting to show some of the contemporaneous news reel coverage here on Covered Bridge. Warning: some of the language in these videos is anachronistic, offensive and shouldn’t be taken as the opinion of VISTA Today but viewed only as history.
