ATOMIC
BOMB
The
atomic bomb is one of the most powerful and destructive bombs
ever. It was the bomb used on Japan to force them into surrendering
and eventually leading into peace. As a result of it being
so extreme it killed many people in Japan which resulted in
it leaving many people seriously injured and homeless. Japan
had to build up totally from scratch-which is why it is so
successful today! There were two types of bombs, hydrogen
and nitrogen.
On
the 6th of August,1946 the worlds very first atom bomb was
dropped in the city of Hiroshima, it was dropped by an American
B-29 bomber! It was described as a glaring pink light by a
Japanese journalist which would burn peoples eyes! People
within a mile of the bomb were instantly killed, around 90,000-120,000
were killed and the ones who survived in serious pain.
Another
bomb was dropped by America three days later and this one
killed around 60,000-80,000 people. On August 14 the two consecutive
bombs led to Japan surrendering and leading to the end of
World War 2.
