Fumiko Morita on "Tetsuko's Room" aired on August 15th. She married at age 21 but didn't mention her experience of the atomic bombing.

Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor Fumiko Morita appeared on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi) on August 15th. She was 96 years old and spoke about her experience of losing her parents and younger brother in the Nagasaki atomic bombing on August Getsuku, 1945 (Showa 20).

She was 16 years old when the Nagasaki atomic bomb was dropped. She got married at 21. She never mentioned it to her husband. She also never spoke about the atomic bomb with her sister.

When he was reunited with his 14-year-old sister on the 10th, the day after the bomb was dropped, he said, "She ran to me and said, 'Everyone is dead, everyone is dead.' My sister had run to our house as soon as the bomb fell. She had seen all of our family members die, and she had actually seen our father and mother die. I think that's why she ran to me and said, 'Everyone is dead, everyone is dead.' There was nothing I could do, so I hugged my sister tightly."

After the atomic bomb was dropped, a raging fire raged through our house. When I went home, I found my father dead near the gatepost at the entrance. My mother and my younger brother, who was in the first grade of elementary school, were small, blackened lumps. In the living room, my younger brother, who was in the third grade of elementary school, was an even smaller, blackened lumps. We laid the four of them on something like corrugated iron, and placed lots of smoldering wood on top. As they lay there, the fire began to burn and they were reduced to neat bones. The next day, we buried their remains in the grave.

He had kept his atomic bombing experience secret for 75 years, but spoke about it for the first time on social media at the age of 91.
