History of Nagasaki Day

In 1945, on August 9, the United States dropped an atomic bomb named "Fat Man" on Nagasaki at 11:02 a.m., almost 1,650 feet above the city. Nagasaki was a shipbuilding centre of Japan, the very industry intended for destruction. The nuclear bomb explosion unleashed the comparable force of 22,000 tons of Trinitrotoluene (TNT). The hills that surrounded Nagasaki contained the lethal force.

Exactly three days prior to the Nagasaki bomb attack, on 6th August 1945, the United States had stationed an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The nuclear explosion caused by the US due to the bombing wiped out 90% of the city. The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked the first time for atomic bombs in warfare.
