Part One and Part Two of a special series from The World. Sixty years ago a U.S. warplane dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, Nagasaki was also hit. In less than a week, Japanese forces surrended, and the war in the Pacific was over. The two bombs killed 120,000 people outright, and close to 250,000 more over time. The World's Patrick Cox traveled to Hiroshima to meet the last generation of survivors.
