Peter Allen hears stories from people commemorating the 70th anniversary of the atomic bomb which killed 140,000 in Hiroshima. Setsuko Thurlow was 13-years-old at the time. She tells 5 Live how she survived and saw other survivors with terrible injuries as she travelled across the city which had been reduced to a wasteland. She says they looked like ghosts, there was an eerie silence and no one was shouting or running.
