00:00I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan and stood at the epicenter of a city that remains scarred
00:06by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945, 80 years ago.
00:18It's hard for me to find the words to express what I saw, the stories that I heard, the haunting
00:25sadness that still remains. This is an experience that will stay with me forever.
00:32This attack obliterated the city, killed over 300,000 people, many dying instantly while others
00:38died from severe burns, injuries, radiation sickness, and cancer that set in in the following
00:45months and years. Nagasaki suffered the same fate. Homes, schools, families, all gone in a flash.
00:53The survivors, the hibokusha, they carried the pain of extreme burns, radiation sickness,
01:01and loss for decades.
01:05Survivors of this attack were asked to put in paintings and drawings their own memories
01:13and how they felt and what they saw. And those paintings and the suffering that they conveyed,
01:23the pain and the sense of loss were almost more powerful than the photos themselves.
01:32Yet this one bomb that caused so much destruction on Hiroshima was tiny compared to today's nuclear
01:39bombs. The bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of just 15 kilotons of TNT. Whereas today's
01:47nuclear warheads range in size from 100 kilotons to over one megaton. A single nuclear weapon today
01:56could kill millions in just minutes. Just one of these nuclear bombs would vaporize everything at its
02:02core. People, buildings, life itself. The shockwave would crush structures miles away, killing and maiming
02:10countless people. And then comes the fallout. Radioactive poison spreading through the air,
02:17water, and soil condemning survivors to agonizing deaths or lifelong suffering. A nuclear winter could
02:25follow with smoke and ash completely blocking the sun, plunging the world into darkness and cold,
02:31killing crops and starving billions. Acid rain would scar the earth, wiping out entire ecosystems.
02:40This isn't some made up science fiction story. This is the reality of what's at stake, what we are facing
02:48now. Because as we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before,
02:54political elite and war mongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.
03:01Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for
03:06themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to. So it's up to us,
03:14the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. We must reject this path to nuclear war
03:22and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.
03:28the problem. That's a good life for us.
