guestar282,

Your statements are suspect. Hiroshima was a city, the bomb was deteonated over the city and would have been easily recovered if it did no go off.


The statement "The problem is, if the first one works you still have to drop the second one because that's what it was made for."
needs a lot of explaination to make sense.


There were both military and industrial targets in Hiroshima. The fact is, the selection of a city was to reduce the civilian casualties, by picking a minor city rather than Tokyo or a more significant poplation center.

Cold, hard fact.
