President Truman decided to drop the worlds first ever atomic bomb on July 16, 1945. The bomb was equivilant to 20,000 tons of TNT. The bombs immediate kill radius was about 1 mile by 1 mile, but the radiation poising spread out much farther. The explosion was visible from 200 miles away, and killed approximatly 66,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000 people in Nagasaki immediatly; 94,000 people were poisined from radiation and eventually over 200,000 innocent people lives were taken from them. It is believed that people today have passed down the radiation poising. This bombing has still left effects and tradjadeys behind today scaring the people of japan forever.
