On August 9, 1945, American forces dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. In this image, a torii appears to be the only structure left standing. The bomb was dropped at 11:02 am, local time, and it exploded about 1,625 ft (500m) above the ground. The immediate explosion killed 40,000 to 75,000 people. However, by the end of 1945 the death toll in Nagasaki may have been as high as 80,000.

Pictured are the mushrooms clouds from the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. As horrific as this even was, It should be noted that the most destructive bombing event of WWII was neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki. It was the Operation Meetinghouse, the American firebombing of Tokyo. Enola Gay, Drop The Bomb, Powerful Pictures, Manhattan Project
