destruction in an accurate way. 75 years on if you remain who witnessed the devastation of heroes shima and nagasaki to tell the story to future generations it's important to many in japan that the facts in the images are correct. and as if a full depth report together draws going now in the studio how did you know all that the image was being used for decades across television and documentary films the way i came across at it is i was doing research for a story in the archives for the 75th anniversary of hiroshima back in early august and noticed that some of the cloud formations around the mushroom cloud looked the same in footage that was labeled here shima and photos it was labeled nagasaki now for the context my job here is very often to do research on social media so i'm part of a team that verifies images that we get over social media to make sure that they are what they say they are and what was interesting as i was using some of the same tools of verification looking at cloud formations what time of day it is the ambient weather things like this just the known facts about the s

lebanese are faring through the incident unfortunately there are firing through it as lebanon's here shima course there's no comparison between a nuclear bomb and what's happened today but it's only shows how deeply impacted and how saddened they are and how devastating this explosion has been on the up and on and on the lebanese what are already grappling with very bad economic situation kovac 19 pro-reform demonstrations or demonstrations asking to lemonade corruption from the power sharing system for failing in the country at the list goes on so this just adds further hurt and injury and tragedy to the lebanese people. in the bomb blast system that i think they take right down time they know it's not supposed to be everything he does. from the right side and then they've got the right state that's a good amount of people been injured. down since if you happen to our like the buildings in construction however devastated. homes around here been completely destroyed you see behind me you know that in terms of the problems of left in the spaces prior to the infrastructure i. think it was ve

this is the shima hospital. it was at the shima hospital where the bomb detonated. this is the elementary school and nagasaki. all the teachers and students were killed. it was a mile from the center. i take my students now every year on the morning of august 9th prior to the official nagasaki ceremony to go to a private ceremony at their elementary school. the children who attend the remedy school come there and they have a special piece commemoration ceremony. it's a very, very moving ceremony with the school full of elementary school students. you realize that that is the victims of the atomic bomb. after the war, congregants of church, unitarian church here in washington, d.c., sent art supplies to students at an elementary school in hiroshima. the students there used the arts supply to prepare a little supplies of any sort in hiroshima or nagasaki after the bombing. you see so many reports of the students living a street urchins basically. they were orphans, they don't have shelter, had put up shelters that they lived in. the fact that just getting arts supplie

of the cloud formations around the mushroom cloud looked the same in footage that was labeled here shima and photos it was labeled nagasaki now for the context my job here is very often to do research on social media so i'm part of a team that verifies images that we get over social media to make sure that they are what they say they are and what was interesting as i was using some of the same tools of verification looking at cloud formations what time of day it is the ambient weather things like this just the known facts about the situation when the video was taken to verify some of the most iconic images in 20th century history speaking about comic images it seems strange that there is no us one photograph all footage of the bombing of hiroshima and we have to rely on a physicist's private camera for this is sort of moment right well there's an interesting story there and that's the official photographer there was somebody on the plane on both missions who was supposed to film it but his footage was developed on tinian island where the planes took off and it was very humid there and th
