11:34Now PlayingSixtynine years ago at 815 a.m., the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Destruction from the bomb was massive shock waves, radiation and heat rays took the lives of some 140,000 people nearly half of the town's population. Three days later, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on the Japanese Nagasaki killing another 74,000. At Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, we hear from blast survivor Koji Hosokawa, who was 17 years old at the time. His 13yearold sister, Yoko, died in the bombing. Hosokawa spoke to us next to the Abomb Dome, one of the few structures in the city that survived the blast.
