Hiroshima And Nagasaki Bombings | Japan Marks 78 Years Of Atomic Bombings | English News | News18
It was 8:15 on a Monday morning, Aug. 6, 1945. World War II was raging in Japan.
An American B-29 bomber dropped the world’s first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan – an important military centre with a civilian population of close to 300,000 people. The U.S. wanted to end the war, and Japan was unwilling to surrender unconditionally.
The bomber plane was called the Enola Gay, named for Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot. Its passenger was “Little Boy” – an atomic bomb that quickly killed 80,000 people in Hiroshima. Tens of thousands more would later die of the excruciating effects of radiation exposure. Three days later, U.S. soldiers in a second B-29 bomber plane dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki, killing an estimated 40,000 people.
It was the first – and so far, only – time atomic bombs were used against civilians. But U.S. scientists were confident it would work because they had tested one just like it in New Mexico a month before. This was part of the Manhattan Project, a secret, federally-funded science effort that produced the first nuclear weapons.
Twin bombings that changed the world forever.
