Advancer #1 Atomic Bomb Dome 6/21/2014
Hiroshima, Japan
21 June 2014
It was the only structure left standing within the 2 km radius of the hypocenter after a nuclear bomb, equivalent to 16,000 tons of TNT, exploded over Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945.
Referred to as the Little Boy, the atomic bomb that dropped on Hiroshima exploded 600 meters right above its structure, which spared it from the explosive force released by the bomb. Other structures within the hypocentre had been obliterated in an instant.
Formerly known as the Hiroshima Prefectural Commercial Exhibition Hall before the bombing of the city, the Atomic Bomb Dome has been registered in the UNESCO World heritage list in December 1996 as a symbol of nuclear abolition and the vow of the human race to pursue peace.

Hiroshima Bombing Story | Tour around the Atomic Hypocenter ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Today is the 74th anniversary of the Hiroshima Bombing - August 6, 2019
Hiroshima, August 6, 1945. It’s a day that changed everything. The atomic bomb decimated the city, killing nearly all nearby the blast. Fast forward about 75 years later, and Hiroshima is now a beautiful city, resurrected from the ruins of the post war period. Near the hypocenter is the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park and Museum and across the river, the A-Bomb Dome which sits as it did, destroyed after the bomb in ruins. We'll look at the area around the hypocenter and see old video footage from 1945 after the bomb. We'll also meet a witness who will describe in detail the horror he saw as he volunteered to help in Hiroshima on August 7, 1945, the next day.
We’re now in the 4th generation since the bomb was dropped, those that were kids who could remember are now in their 80s and 90s. Yuji is a 3rd generation Hiroshima resident since the bomb and he wants to share the city of Hiroshima so people don’t forget the past. He learned a lot from his great uncle who told him stories as a kid of the horrors of that day and how the city rebuilt. Another reason is that he wants to teach his son so he can pass on the stories from his family who were alive nearby on that tragic day. They're now tour guides in Hiroshima.
At age 92, Yuji’s great uncle shares his story of the day he will never forget. He lived in Kure city near by, saw the mushroom cloud and went into the city to help. His account is graphic, the scene is grim and real.
The city cannot erase it’s past but it can move on and write the next chapter in its history and I think that is where Hiroshima is today. Tourism to the city is increasing, many international visitors stop by Hiroshima to understand what happened on that day, pay their respects, and tours like the one with Yuji and Magical Trip I took is a way to understand just how much the city changed that day and how it’s re-invented itself since. I hope you can feel something for Hiroshima and if you are in Japan, it's a must visit destination.

Hiroshima - Atomic Bomb Dome - Peace Memorial Museum
On August 6, 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in human history.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum is museum located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, in central Hiroshima, Japan dedicated to documenting the atomic bombing that occurred with the additional aim of world peace. The museum was established in August 1955 with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall (now the International Conference Center Hiroshima). It is the most popular of Hiroshima's destinations for school field-trips from all over Japan and for international visitors. 53 million people had visited the museum from its opening in 1955 through 2005. The number of visitors is over one million per year. The architect of the main building was Kenzo Tange. Source: wiwipdia
Japan sucker punched by The New York Times
The New York Times on October 28, 2014 published an article written by their Tokyo Bureau Chief, Mr. Martin Fackler. The title of the article “In Japan, Pressure to Forget Sins of War.” The title screams with condemnation of Nihon, Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun.
Reading further into the article it continues with screams, shouts, and finger pointing at Japan. The article leads off with Mr. Koichi Mizuguchi who lives in the northern part of Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido. Mr. Mizuguchi discovered a graveyard said to be Korean bones. These are the bones of Korean laborers who worked in the area during World War Two.”
According to Mr. Fackler of The New York Times, those Koreans “laborers died of abuse, disease and malnutrition” A monument was attempted to be erected, however the mayor of the village put a halt to the project. According to Mr. Fackler’s article it was due to harassment from other Japanese who have been assigned to belonging to a group titled “Net Right.”
“Net Right” being cyperactivists who are extremists “have gained outsize influence with the rise of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s conservative government which shares their goal of ending negative portrayals of Japan’s history,” according to the article. Counter that with the U.S.A. where the liberals in the educational system gleefully relish in exposing the USA’s “negative” history with the goal of diminishing any form of patriotism.
It is amusing to read where The New York Times are now vilifying Japan’s conservative Prime Minister Abe for anything they perceive as negatives much as they did with President Bush. If sun spots erupted it was George Bush’s fault. Any harassment in Hokkaido, why of course blame Shinzo Abe. Liberals be they in the USA or in Asia are all the same.
This “Net Right” group is estimated to be around two thousand members in Japan. The article awards them with out of proportion clout. How about a little balance here? In South Korea there is a group of net citizens called VANK – V.A.N.K. – Voluntary Agency Network of Korea. The claim is it is an NGO (Non-Government Organization).
VANK enjoys a membership of around seventy-five thousand net citizens. Need a Facebook page hacked, VANK to the rescue.
Further in the article Mr. Fackler claims “A similar campaign led the city of Nagasaki……to delay approval of a cenotaph to Korean laborers who perished in the 1945 atomic bombing.” Really? Mr. Fackler must be writing about a second memorial / cenotaph because according to the two articles below one already exists in Nagasaki:
Articles noting a ceremony in front of a Korean cenotaph in Nagasaki.
In addition a monument to Korean atomic bomb victims in Nagasaki already exists and has been there since 1976:

Visiting HIROSHIMA Today: IS IT SAFE from RADIATION?!
Hiroshima today is a city transformed, but it's known for harrowing history. The Peace Memorial Park, Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum are very important for everybody to experience… but I didn’t expect to find so much fun on my city tour.
From tasty Okonomiyaki to craft breweries and rooftop bars. Hiroshima in 2019 is a really vibrant, modern place. But it also owns it’s history, presented best by the story of Sadako Sasaki.
This is my Hiroshima travel video, that I hope captures my thoughts and feelings of the place.

LEAD IN:
As the 62nd commemoration of the bombing of Hiroshima approaches residents in the Japanese city are expressing anger that the event is being forgotten.
On August 6th 1945 an atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima killing some 140,000 people. Three days later a further bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki
STORY LINE:
Feelings of anxiety and disappointment are looming over Hiroshima, just as the thick radiated mushroom cloud hung over the city 62 years ago.
Residents feel that many Japanese are beginning to forget the tragedy that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
Many citizens remain angry at former Defence Minister Fumio Kyuma, who said on June 30th this year, that the dropping of the atomic bomb in Nagasaki Could not be helped and resulted in ending the war quickly.
The remark sparked fierce anger from residents in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which lead to the defence minister's resignation.
The bombs are said to have killed more than 140,000 people by the end of year one in Hiroshima alone.
Abe said he was busy preparing for the first parliamentary session on 7th August.

JAPAN: SURVIVORS OF A-BOMB WILL REFUSE COMPENSATION PAYMENTS
Jap/Eng/Nat
Survivors of the atomic bombing of Japan in World War Two say they will refuse to claim a new payment offered to victims and their families.
The Cabinet of the Japanese government has backed the measure at a meeting in Tokyo. It will now go before Parliament.
But protestors are angry that not everyone they believe should benefit will be eligible to claim.
Nearly 50 years on, this is the only physical reminder of the
destruction caused by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6 1945.
The former Industrial Promotion Hall, now known as the A bomb
dome, stood just yards from the centre of the explosion.
Official figures put the death toll at 140,000, nearly half the
city's population at the time. Their names are kept on a register at
the memorial cenotaph in the Peace Park. Each year more names are added to the list.
But 330,000 people who survived the A bomb attacks at Hiroshima
and Nagasaki are still alive in Japan. They are still suffering from
radiation poisoning and other after effects. The 'hibakusha' as they
are known, are still battling for what they say is adequate
compensation.
The Japanese Cabinet has approved a new bill giving a 1,000 US dollar bond to families of victims who died between 1945 and 1969. It is now set to go before Parliament. But survivors say it does not go far enough. People who were evacuated from Hiroshima and orphaned cannot claim.
For that reason Akihiro Takahashi will refuse the cash as a point
of principle. He was 14 when the bomb went off at 08:15am.
SOUNDBITE:(17') I refuse to receive the payment for two reasons. Firstly the bill does not come out and clearly say that it is direct compensation from the government,and moreover it discriminates against some bomb victims. This is not truly meaningful compensation for the bereaved families.
SUPER CAPTION: AKIHIRO TAKAHASHI ,A BOMB SURVIVOR
Now 86 years old,Kikue Komatsu spent days looking for her teenage
daughter after the bomb went off. She never found her. The museum in Hiroshima brings back painful memories. Mrs Komatsu says she will refuse the new payment too.
SOUNDBITE: (5') I do not think this law as it stands is enough.
SUPER CAPTION: KIKUE KOMATSU A BOMB SURVIVOR
Japan's young generation see Hiroshima as part of their nation's
history. But nearly half a century on, the government is still
accused of failing to help the victims of history adequately.
The government insists the new bill is generous. Survivors are planning to lobby hard to get it improved.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Left One Building Standing- This is it 74 yrs later
During the terrible tragic events of how WW2, Hiroshima, Japan was bombed in 1945 and somehow only one building managed to stay standing. This building is referred to as the hiroshima A bomb Dome or Hiroshima Prefectural Products Exhibition Hall. It was built in 1915. I toured Hiroshima 74 years after the bomb went off there to see what it looked like and what the surrounding area looked like more than 70 years later.
