Anniversary of the Atom Bomb

From AFP:

"Hiroshima, Japan - With prayers, wreaths and emotional calls for the abolition of nuclear weapons, the Japanese city of Hiroshima on Saturday marked the 60th anniversary of the world's first atomic attack.

    Hiroshima fell silent as a relative of one of the more than 140,000 dead joined a child in ringing a bell at 8.15am (23h15 GMT on Friday), the exact moment 60 years ago when a single US bomb flattened the southern city."

Maybe if we would all review the footage of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we might all be more active in nuclear nonproliferation.
