NAGASAKI, Japan (AFP): Twin cathedral bells rang in unison Saturday in Japan's Nagasaki for the first time since the atomic bombing of the city 80 years ago, commemorating the moment of horror.

On August 9, 1945, at 11:02am, three days after a nuclear attack on Hiroshima, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
