Nagasaki Bomb - 1945 | Movietone Moments | 9 Aug 19
On this day in 1945 this US dropped a 2nd atomic bomb known as Fat Man on Japan and destroyed part of Nagasaki. Here is Movietone's report on the events.
The Atomic Bomb (an experimental one) was dropped in New Mexico. The second was dropped on Hiroshima and this film shows the resulting devastation. Nagasaki was the target for the third bomb three days after that at Hiroshima. The widespread damage in Tokyo was done by Superfortresses dropping incendiaries. At the prison camp in Ofuna many allied prisoners were starved and ill-treated, our film shows a few of the fittest leaving for home.
CUT STORY: KS At New Mexico. GV tower from which test atomic bomb was dropped. Atomic bomb explodes. Clouds rising, smoke, mushroom shape.

Hiroshima: The tram that survived the atomic bomb - BBC News

USA: WASHINGTON: HIROSHIMA SURVIVORS APPEAR IN MUSEUM EXHIBIT
Jap/Eng/Nat
Survivors of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki atom bomb attacks are in Washington as part of an exhibit opening at American University.
Survivors and officials from both Japanese cities say they hope the exhibit will help prevent future use of nuclear weapons.
The display of pictures and artifacts taken from both cities after the A-bombs were dropped are part of a university summer-student programme.
Chinese students at American University say the display ignores important aspects of the Japanese legacy in World War II.
Hiroshima's mayor led a delegation today of Japanese citizens -- all guests of the American University -- invited to help Americans and others remember the unthinkable of fifty years ago.
Among the guests - survivors of the bombs dropped by U-S planes to end the war with Japan.
They're here at the opening of the university's own exhibit - a week after new controversy over the U-S museum display of the plane that dropped one of those bombs.
SOUNDBITE: (Japanese)
As a nation, both Japan and the United States are sharing delicate issues. But we are here beyond the nationalists point of view. We are here because we would like to explore what we should do to survive and to live for the future. The misunderstanding between the countries could be natural. But I'm hoping, as a citizen of Hiroshima, that we could narrow the gap between the citizens of Hiroshima and the citizens of the United States regarding the understanding of the consequences of the atomic bomb.
SUPER CAPTION: Takashi Hiraoka, Hiroshima Mayor
SOUNDBITE:
The exhibit is not being brought to present evidence for or against deciding who was an aggressor or not or how the decision was made to drop the bomb and so on. It is presented as testimony to the consequences of a nuclear act and what has happened that we can understand in the aftermath of moving beyond that.
SUPER CAPTION: Benjamin Ladner, President, American University
The exhibit is the first of a series of public events at American on the fiftieth anniversary marking the end of World War Two.
It's also part of a history course taught at the school. The professor who has been teaching the course for ten years says there's a lot about those A-bomb attacks to be learned from the exhibit.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
...What we're saying here is not something that is going to offend anybody. Soldiers who we've spoken to about this exhibit, who fought in the second world war, think this is a very valid and important story. They don't see this as in any way questioning or criticising or condemning their actions or demeaning their heroism in the war....or anybody questioning whether the United States was right to fight this war. I feel very strongly that this was a just war.
SUPER CAPTION: Professor Peter Kuznick, American University
SOUNDBITE: ...Yes the civilians, most women, that were killed in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they were victims of war. All we are saying is that there were other victims.
SUPER CAPTION: Ao Wang, Chinese Student Association.

Nagasaki remembers atomic victims
Thousands of people gathered in the Japanese city of Nagasaki on Monday to mark 65 years since the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city during the Second World War.
In 1945, the nuclear bomb hit Nagasaki three days after Japan's city of Hiroshima was struck by another US atomic bomb. Collectively, they killed about 80,000 people.
The death toll from the bombings is updated each year by the Japanese government, as residents continue to suffer from their after-effects, including detrimental levels of radiation.
After a minute's silence to honour the dead, Japan's prime minister Naoto Kan, who attended the gathering, spoke of the country's self-imposed ban on the possession and production of nuclear arms.
Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay reports.

We went to the ATOMIC BOMB MUSEUM in Nagazaki, Japan (2019) │ My Travel Journal
Japan is such an interesting country, so different than ours, so organized, so clean ( the funny part is that you don't find garbage bins easily).
We came to Nagasaki, we really wanted to see how is the city, the people.
The Atomic bomb is part of the history of this country, imagine how important is for the history of NAGASAKI.
We visited the BOMB MUSEUM and the surroundings. Just by the museum we found the Peace park, the famous Shrine, the Cathedral, the Hypocenter (where the bomb exploded), etc.
In the PEACE PARK we will find the famous PEACE MEMORIAL STATUE, it is huge but today they were cleaning and fixing it. This statue has a very interesting meaning, the way is done and the Sculpture wrote this:
After experiencing that nightmarish war,
that blood-curdling carnage,
that unendurable horror,
Who could walk away without praying for peace?
This statue was created as a signpost in the
struggle for global harmony.
Standing ten meters tall,
it conveys the profundity of knowledge and
the beauty of health and virility.
The right hand points to the atomic bomb,
the left hand points to peace,
and the face prays deeply for the victims of war.
Transcending the barriers of race
and evoking the qualities of Buddha and God,
it is a symbol of the greatest determination
ever known in the history of Nagasaki
and the highest hope of all mankind.
— Seibo Kitamura (Spring 1995)
