Been Called "Flash" Since I Was A Kid!
This is the anniversary of the first Atomic Bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, August 6th, 1945. Some accounts say that 140,000 were killed by the bomb and radiation after effects.
The Uranium based bomb was dropped from a lone B-29 bomber, the "Enola Gay". The aircraft is now in the Smithsonian Institute Aviation wing in Washington, DC.
The next day, Nagasaki got another bomb. Some accounts say that 74,000 were killed by the bomb and its after effects. This bomb was Plutonium based. The war with Japan ended shortly after the Nagasaki bombing.
