Recreating Pre-War Nagasaki in 3D

Wednesday, September 02, 2009 Go to full article

Students at the University of Nagasaki are attempting to recreate a community that a nuclear weapon destroyed. The Urakami neighborhood in Nagasaki was ground zero for the second atomic bomb the U-S dropped on Japan in World War Two. That attack killed 39-thousand people. And it destroyed most pictures of life in Urakami before the war. The students are recreating pre-war Urakami...with the help of memories and 3-D technology. Akiko Fujita sent us this short video. Hear her radio report here.
