Situation |
Yoshie was exposed to radiation in Yokogawa Town 1.3 km away from the Hypocenter. She was seven years old. When she was waiting at the entrance of her friend's house to go to school with her, she saw a flash and was blown into an underground air-raid shelter by a blast. Her friend was stuck between iron beams. Her friend told her, "That's enough. Leave me and run away!" With painful reluctance, she climbed to ground level by ladder, leaving the friend behind. |
