Japan's Atomic Bomb
Tune In: Tuesday, August 16 @ 8pm ET/PT

A revealing look at the untold story of Japan's atomic bomb, and how they
may have detonated a nuclear device just two days before surrender. Since
the end of WWII, conventional wisdom claimed that Imperial Japan was years
away from building an atomic weapon--this special shatters this view. Using
once secret Japanese wartime documents, we provide evidence that Japan had
world-class nuclear physicists, access to uranium ore, and cyclotrons to
process it. They devised an innovative way to deliver the bombs using
400-foot long Sen Toku submarines, capable of carrying and launching
airplanes. Most startling--just six days after Hiroshima, Japan tested its
own atomic device on a small island 20 miles off the Korean coast. The
sobering conclusion is that Japan may have been just weeks behind the US in
the race for the bomb.
