76 years ago to this day the US dropped the "Fat Man" plutonium nuclear bomb on Nagasaki. Despite being notably more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, a combination of weather, geography and logistic errors lead to much lower casualties. But you can still tell by the picture how devastating it was; 40 000 were killed instantly, and that number doubled from the fallout.

A lot of controversy over that one especially. Not so much then, but now. Evil horrible nation, Japan already defeated, needless death etc. Even the idea that Truman was sending Stalin a message, Don't fuck with us. None of us were there and after a war that lasted four year with a nation that had promoted unspeakable horrors' almost everywhere they went, I gotta say that considering the estimation that 1,000,000 Americans would die in the invasion of Japan and that almost all of the nation would have to be killed during said invasion I would suggewst they made the right decisi9on despite the death total. Though that said it was a drop in the proverbial bucket to the other deaths the Allies had already inflicted on Japan to that point.
