Recreating Pre-War Nagasaki in 3D

Students at the University of Nagasaki are attempting to recreate a community that a nuclear weapon destroyed. The Urakami neighborhood in Nagasaki was ground zero for the second atomic bomb the U-S dropped on Japan in World War Two. That attack killed 39-thousand people. And it destroyed most pictures of life in Urakami before the war. The students are recreating pre-war Urakami, with the help of memories and 3D technology. Here Akiko Fujita's report at http://www.theworld.org.

More focus on the 2 atomic bombs... and not on their slaughter of many nation's peoles. They still, to this day, refuse to address this. BTW, more people died in the Tokyo firebombing in one night than all the dead of Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined. But the atomic bomb has given them a focal point. BTW, Japan had heavy water plants running in Korea to make.... ATOMIC WEAPONS. The German sub that was carrying Uranium to Japan was sunk. Let's talk about THAT.
