Rare photographs show the aftermath of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb | Daily Mail Online
Devastated: Hardly any buildings in Hiroshima were left
standing after the massive atomic bomb blast.

Obliterated: Japan is today commemorating the loss of 140,000 people killed in the initial Hiroshima blast, as well the countless numbers who died later as a result of radiation poisoning  

Chaos: The unknown photographer is believed to have died shortly before his camera went on sale, as nobody could have survived the radiation levels in the area so soon after the bombing

In 1988, five of the greatest musical minds of the century came
together to create a super group like no other: The Traveling
Wilburys. Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, and
George Harrison formed this legendary band that fused their
unique styles into one harmonious sound. From Dylan’s folk-
rock roots, Lynne’s pop sensibilities, Petty’s Americana flair,
Orbison’s rockabilly vibes, and Harrison’s Beatles influence,
the group created a timeless blend of music that generations
have enjoyed. They released two albums in 1988 and 1990,
respectively.

Although the members have since gone their separate ways,
the Traveling Wilburys will always be remembered as an
incredible collaboration between some of the most influential
musicians ever.
