They damn nearly didn't even after Nagasaki. Some of the Army command tried to seize the Emperor's surrender tape; fortunately they didn't manage before it got broadcast.
That's an urban legend. Go look it up.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956) "Anyone with degrees from Yale and Harvard is presumed to be intelligent, but George W. Bush has managed to overcome that presumption." S**t list: Charlie Bendahoe, TBR imposter

I'll mention again the History Channel. They've done (or at least shown) a very good documentary on this. They reenact those last few days and show all the major players involved. They even have interviews of real live Japanese soldiers who were there.
