August 9, 1945
The B-29 which dropped "fat man" (the second of two fission bombs) on Nagasaki, Japan was named 'Bocks Car', not the often misspelled 'boxcar'. The name was a play on words by the crew; the plane's commander was Captain Fred Bock.
Bock did not captain the flight which dropped 'fat man' however, that honor went to Charles Sweeney and his crew. Sweeney's crew and plane, 'the great artiste' was slated to fly the mission, but had been outfitted with observation equipment for the Hiroshima bomb run. The crews switched planes rather than reconfigure them. After the bombing, due to delays in the mission and other factors, Sweeney ran low on fuel and had to land in Okinawa (on fumes) rather than return as planned to Tinian.
The first bomb, 'little boy' was dropped on Hiroshima from the 'Enola Gay' on August 6, 1945.

wrong answer below (and 5500 kilometers would be pretty close to the center of the earth - at 6375KM. I don't think we've figured out how to drill that deep.)

The boxcar was actually a different bomb in itself. It was tested at area 51 some 5500 kilometers underground. It was actually felt 155 miles away in Las Vegas where they had to shut down the casino's due to dice rolling while the box car bomb was being tested.
