| Situation |
I had been assigned to the Training Corps of the Marine Weather Corps. I was in the middle of a morality tale when exposed to the atomic bomb. Trapped under the collapse barracks, I lost consciousness briefly but was able to free myself afterwards. Looking towards the city, there were flames rising up and pitch-black clouds enveloped the sky above. In the afternoon, I formed a relief team and went to Ujina Station. I can never forget the scene of an incredible amount of dead bodies completely covering the station platforms. I continued to work in relief efforts until the 12th and sometime in October, I went to my home town on Innoshima Island. |
