Why do you feel it needed to make false statements about the location of the bomb? It was an airburst over the ground zero point, shown in the map above.


And we had tested one device already- we had a pretty good idea of the power of the ones we dropped. BOTH atomic bombs killed far less people than a single night of firebombing of Tokyo or Dresden- BUT ended the war (IMO), saving at least 10 times as many casualties if the US had invaded.

Cold, hard fact.
