Nagasaki paid tribute to its dead yesterday, 60 years to the day after the city was levelled by an atomic bomb in one of the last acts of World War II. Politicians and survivors of the bomb that killed an estimated 80 000 people after it exploded above the city on August 9 1945 laid wreaths to the victims in a ceremony at the city’s peace memorial park.
On the eve of the anniversary on Tuesday of Nagasaki’s devastation 60 years ago by the ”Fat Man” atomic bomb, a steady stream of tourists flowed past the horrific exhibits at the city’s memorial museum. There is a clock, its glass smashed and bent hands frozen at exactly 11:02, the moment of the blast.
