This clock stopped precisely at 11:02 on August 9th 1945 in Nagasaki.

    1. Although it probably did stop at roughly 11:02, there’s no indication that the clock was keeping the correct time. If you rotate the clockface clockwise so that the 3 and the 9 are in the correct positions, it’s way off 11:02.

      Yeah. I’m positive whoever found the clock in its perfectly half destroyed state didn’t move the hand to make it just a bit more perfect.

      What’re the chances it was showing the correct time at the time of the explosion? I’d imagine fairly slim.
