EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of history when the United States military aircraft, specifically a B-29 bomber named "Bockscar," releases the Fat Man atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The Fat Man was a plutonium implosion-type nuclear weapon, with a mass of approximately 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg). The bombing marked the second and final use of nuclear weapons in warfare during World War II, following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. The image shows the B-29 in mid-air, with the bomb clearly visible beneath the plane. The ominous clouds and the contrast between the bright bomb and the dark sky add to the sense of tension and historical significance. The Fat Man's detonation caused extensive damage and loss of life in Nagasaki, ultimately contributing to Japan's surrender and the end of the war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the devastating power of nuclear weapons and the far-reaching consequences of their use.
