Interesting to see how the "vaporized" numbers continue to climb each
year.
The numbers far exceed those from the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey.  I
have read that Japan counts as a "victim" each person living in those
prefectures at the time of the bombing, who later dies, even at age 90
from a heart attack, as an atomic victim.  Interestingly, no one ever
mentions the casualties of the Tokyo fire bomb attacks which, have been
reported, as exceeding the toll of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  I wonder
what the truth is?

The following documentary is on tonight ... HBO02 ... which is in 25
minutes, Pacific Daylight Savings Time. Perhaps it will be on again.


White Light, Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

On August 6th and 9th, 1945, two atomic bombs vaporized 210,000 people
in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those who survived are called
"hibakusha"--people
exposed to the bomb--and there are an estimated 200,000 living today.
Today,
with the threat of nuclear weapons of mass destruction frighteningly
real-
the world's arsenal capable of repeating the destruction at Hiroshima
400,000 times over, Oscar(r) award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki
revisits
the bombings and shares the stories of the only people to have survived
a
nuclear attack.
