Situation |
Sadako was exposed to radiation in Misasa-honmachi Town 2.0 km away from the Hypocenter; she was 11 years old. When she was shopping at a stationery shop near her school, she was hit by a flash and a blast. Slashed by a piece of glass, her legs were smeared with blood. She saw many people covered with blood asking for water on the banks at Oshiba Park. She still remembers the taste of a rice ball that she received in Oshiba Park. |
