A cross taken from a Nagasaki cathedral after the atomic bombing gets returned 74 years later - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: When the atomic bomb dubbed Fat Man detonated over Nagasaki 74 years ago, it destroyed the Urakami Cathedral, the locus of a vibrant Catholic community in the city. After the war ended, a US Marine stationed in Nagasaki took home a cross retrieved from the rubble of the church, eventually giving it to a small Ohio college. On Tuesday, a representative from the college returned the long-missing artifact to the since-rebuilt cathedral.
