This is the atomic bomb named "Fat Man." At 11:02 a.m., August 9, 1945 it exploded 500 meters above the city of Nagasaki, Japan. The fierce blast wind, heat rays reaching several thousand degrees, and deadly radiation generated by the explosion crushed, burned and killed everything in sight and reduced this entire area to a barren field of rubble.
