Boing Boing's Xeni Jardin links to an Editor & Publisher story on the coverup of the film footage showing the bombing's aftermath in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

There's also information on the documentary First Child Bomb by Cary Schonegevel which uses portions of the footage.

As Xeni pointed out, the film was classified for decades and most of us haven't seen it.

Sixty years later, it's a grim reminder of the lives lost and devastation caused by nuclear weapons.

May we always remember.
