"What's so special about Japan is the fact that nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What does that mean? That means that we would hate to have a third bomb dropped on us. We are the victims of the only two nuclear bombs ever dropped on human beings and we totally refuse to be the victims of the third bomb. If nuclear armament is needed to prevent another bomb being dropped on us, we would have it."

STORYLINE
Today, the city of Hiroshima looks like any other Japanese city.
But closer inspection reveals the scars of what happened to Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, when the city was completely wiped out by an atomic bomb.
It's believed that about 140-thousand people - mostly civilians - died instantly. The population of Hiroshima at that time was estimated at more than 330-thousand.
Some of the survivors suffered leukemia and other cancers years later due to radiation exposure.
Earlier this year, the government of Japan recognised more than 260-thousand people were still suffering from the Hiroshima A-bomb drop.
After the bombing, it took only nine days for Japan to surrender.
Japan, the only nation to have suffered the effects of nuclear devastation has to reconcile living in the current nuclear age.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Director Minoru Hataguchi's father disappeared when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
Hataguchi's mother went looking for him. She knew he was dead when she found his watch and a buckle of his.
