1. Required viewing for all chicken hawks, or should be.

2. Should also be required viewing for

Tepco, as they ineffectually try to deal with the ongoing Fukashima disaster.

Thanks for the very moving and worthwhile video.

10. On your left...

-

as you get off the lower U Bridge going north.

I always wondered about that Park. It's such a small little park. You can miss it if you don't look for it, and not very many people in the UDub area even know it's there,

5. In Oklahoma City,

at the National Memorial Museum, there are a thousand metal cranes hanging from the ceiling in the last room.



There is a small cubic Plexiglas case with a paper crane in it that tells the story of Sasako.

9. Tragic! This must never be allowed to happen again!

For nearly 70 years, country after country has been seduced by the power of these terrible weapons.

Domo arigato, AsahiniKimi-san; thank you for posting this. We must never be allowed to forget!
