Hiroshima, Japan : One minute of silence, wailing sirens and pigeons at Japan’s martyr city recalled the horrors of the US nuclear attack 63 years ago.
Over 45,000 people at Peace Memorial Park honored hundreds of thousands of victims of the US August 6, 1945 radioactive threat to the world.
On the fatal morning, a B-29 bomber released the 4t bomb loaded with 1 kg of uranio-235 that blasted some 600 meters above the ground.
Over 65,000 buildings, houses and hospitals and 70,000 people evaporated instantly. Among 300 doctors, 60 died at once and 210 were wounded. All clinics and 188 hospitals disappeared.
Another 110,000 women, men and children started to die short after of massive burning or mutilated. Hiroshima was erased from the map.
Still unpleased with the savagery, the Pentagon released a second bomb over Nagasaki on August 9 that claimed another 70,000 fatal victims.
Kyodo news agency says Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba called Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda to work to dismantle nuclear arsenals world wide.
In his address, Akiba reminded that the US is one of three countries that opposed the project Japan submitted to the UN to ban nuclear weapons.
For his part, Fukuda supported Akiba wishing to lead the anti-nuke drive and try to help people in seriously ill after being exposed to radiation.
