A ceremony is underway August 7th Sunday
morning in Nagasaki to mark the 70th
anniversary of the atomic bombing of
the southern Japanese city.
Survivors, guests from 75 countries
and others are gathered under a tall
white canopy to shade them from the
sun at the annual commemoration at
Nagasaki Peace Park.
As a bell tolled, they observed a
minute of silence at 11:02 am, the time
when the US dropped the atomic bomb,
killing more than 70,000 people and
prompting Japan's World War II
surrender. The first atomic bomb in
Hiroshima three days earlier killed
140,000.
The city's mayor was expected to
renew his call for a world without
nuclear weapons. :'
