At nine fifteen on august sixth in 1945, an atom bomb of fifteen kilotons was dropped on Hiroshima. It was detonated one thousand, eight hundred feet over the ground. The plane that dropped the bomb was the Enola Gay aircraft bomber. The same thing happened on August ninth over Nagasaki. The fatalities of Hiroshima were seventy thousand and Nagasaki forty thousand. The affects of the atomic bomb, or death-causing factors are the blast wave, thermal and nuclear radiation.
