Introduction:
Survivors Stories:
Dr. Ryuso Tanaka recaps what he saw after the bomb hit: "I looked for my friends around the pool.They were beneath a big tree lying down on the ground. Their skin was burnt. However the damage was not severe. They were still alive. Our dormitory was severely damaged so I carried them to the Judo practice building. I put some Judo clothes into water and then covered their bodies with the wet outfits. It was now about 30 minutes after the explosion. Many wounded people came into the Judo practice building to ask for help. There skin was melted."
