[On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m.
(Hiroshima time), The American Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the Enola Gay, flown by Paul Tibbets (23 February 1915 – 1 November 2007), dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, directly killing at least 70,000 people, including thousands of Korean slave laborers. Fewer than 10% of the casualties were military. By the end of the year, injury and radiation brought the total number of deaths to 90,000–140,000. The population before the bombing was around 345,000. About 70% of the city's buildings were destroyed, and another 7% severely damaged.] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima Japan officially surrendered on September 2, 1945, bringing an end to World War II. Before that First Atomic Bomb Japan refused to stop its WW2 war, Today in Japan, has a Ceremony asking to end all Atomic Weapons? But they never say sorry for their part in WW2 So 100% these Atomic bombs were needed at that time Sign Of the Times |
