A fair while ago someone linked to an excellent article about the atomic bombing of Japan, and I'm sure it here.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

By "excellent" I mean "harrowing and bleak", of course.

Yes. I think it was In bits and bobs.
I also think it was me, bizarrely.

Help me out, Beexers!

I watched a documentary about Hiroshima just the other day, it's a few years old from the BBC, narrated by John Hurt. Anyway it was horrifying, I had never really heard the accounts before of exactly what it's like to be the victim of an attack with a nuclear weapon. Some terrible stories.

Ah, cheers. I was making my way, piecemeal, through that article on a forever-open tab, til it disappeared.
