Americans and everyone had heard of the bomb that "leveled" Hiroshima, but what did that mean? When the aerial photography was published, that question was answered.
NAGASAKI
After 3day's of HIROSHIMA Bombing
August-6th HIROSHIMA August-9th NAGASAKI(1945)
A first for the general public, the picture of the "mushroom cloud" is a very accurate approximation of the enormous quantity of energy spread below. The first atomic bomb, released on August 6 in Hiroshima (Japan) killed about 80,000 people, but it didn't seem enough because the Japanese didn't surrender right away. Therefore, on August 9 another bomb was released above Nagasaki. The effects of the second bomb were even more devastating - 150,000 people were killed or injured.
