On 6 August 1945, Yamaguchi, a young engineer with the shipbuilder Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was in Hiroshima at the end of a short-term secondment with two colleagues. He recalled hearing engine noise in the skies above, but thought nothing of it as this was commonplace owing to Hiroshima's importance as an industrial city and military base. In fact, what he heard were the engines of the US B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, which was about to drop the first Atomic Bomb on the city. Seconds after getting off a tram he saw a flash of light and was knocked to the ground by the force of the Bomb, and passed out as it detonated 600m above Hiroshima at just after 8.15am. He later recalled seeing a huge mushroom-shaped pillar of fire rising up high into the sky. The "Little Boy" Bomb, a reference to former President Roosevelt, was a 13 kiloton uranium Atomic Bomb which contained devastated an area of five square miles. Around 140,000 of Hiroshima's 350,000 population perished instantly and in the aftermath thousands more suffered burns, Yamaguchi among them. Though less than two miles from Ground Zero, he suffered only serious burns to his upper body and a perforated eardrum. Yamaguchi spent the night in the city in an air-raid shelter with people dying and screaming out with pain all around him. The following day, Yamaguchi and his two colleagues navigated through the piles of burnt and dying bodies in order to catch a train the 180 miles bac ...

With James Cameron' s near decade spent developing and filming Avatar , and with the well deserved billion dollar success a sure comfort, it looks like Cameron is wasting no time in getting back to work! Seeing Cameron get his feature film appetite back in full stride would be great, but the three documentaries he directed in between Titanic and Avatar have me pumping the brakes on jumping to either conclusion. Back on December 22nd, Cameron took a trip to Nagasaki, Japan accompanied by Charles Pellegrino -- author of The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Bac k. The two went to a hospital to visit Atomic Bomb survivor Tsutomi Yamaguchi , the only official survivor of both Atomic bombs in Japan in the second World War. Sadly Yamaguchi, who was being treated for stomach cancer, has since passed away. Yamaguchi, then an engineer for the shipbuilder Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped an Atomic Bomb on the city, killing 80,000 people instantly and another 60,000 in the months that followed. The badly burned Yamaguchi, who was less than two miles from the blast, spent the night in an air raid shelter before returning home to Nagasaki, 180 miles away, two days later. While visiting the survivor of the atrocities as research for “ a film about nuclear weapons,” Cameron made a pledge to Yauguchi to “pass on his rare and harrowi ...
