The southern Japanese city of Nagasaki on Saturday marked 80 years since the U.S. atomic attack that killed tens of thousands and left survivors who hope their harrowing memories can help make their hometown the last place on Earth to be hit by a nuclear bomb.

NEVER use nuclear weapons again, or we’re finished,” 93-year-old survivor of the Nagasaki bombing Hiroshi Nishioka said at Saturday’s event marking the 80th anniversary of the US attack.
