9th August 1945.
The B-29 "Bock's Car" drops the 2nd atomic bomb on Japan in 3 days which detonates above Nagasaki.
Some triva..
Nagasaki was not its original target - the intended target city was Kokura, which escaped as the bomber was under orders to attack only a clear target and the city was shrouded in smog at the time. Nagasaki was the first alternative target city.
