On August 6, 1945 the Ebnola Gay dropped the "Little Boy" atom bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Just three days later the "Fat Man" atom bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Both of the weapons of mass destruction created havoc across Japan. Each bomb completely leveled each of there respective cities.
The "Little Boy" created an explosive force of 12,000 tons of TNT and created a heat wave as hot as 50 million degrees Fahrenheit in the center of the fireball. It instantly killed anyone within a half mile of the bomb. Anyone within a mile suffered from things such as severe burns, blindness and death. Many people following this eventually died from their exposure to radiation. Not only did the atomic bomb affect the city it actually affected the atmosphere surrounding the city. The intense explosion caused the raining with large rain drops, intense hurricane winds, and many fires to break out. The "Fat Man" had the same impact in Nagasaki, Japan but did not create as much havoc due to the fact that Nagasaki is surrounded by mountains. The immense power of the atomic bombs was tragic and took many lives, hopefully we will not have to see these intense weapons of destruction in use ever again.
