Japan remembers Nagasaki atomic bomb, 70 years on
BBC News - 8/9/15

...A minute's silence and bells marked the time of the explosion in 1945 at 11:02 (02:02 GMT).
...
Nagasaki often gets forgotten as the world focuses on Hiroshima.
But the bomb dropped here was made from plutonium and was even more powerful.

Perhaps the most powerful moment in the ceremony came when survivor Sumiteru Taniguchi got up to speak.
He described his own terrible injuries - of the skin hanging like rags from his arms and back.

But then he turned on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sitting nearby.
Do not meddle with Japan's pacifist constitution, he warned him.
The audience erupted in loud clapping.

Mr Abe looked straight ahead, showing no emotion.
