Hiroshima Bombing News Article

BOMB DROPPED ON HIROSHIMA KILLS THOUSANDS


Yesterday the 6th of august a new type of bomb was dropped from an american plane (Enola Gay) B-29 over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Leaving tens of thousands instantly dead and almost everyone one else injured.


The President of the United States (Harry S. Truman) confirmed yesterday that there was only one bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Also stating that it was an Atomic bomb costing more than two billion dollars. Truman made it very clear that they were willing to destroy every productive enterprise the Japanese have in any city.


A day after the bomb had been dropped the city smelled terribly of burned skin and rotting bodies. Talking to a survivor of the bomb they mentioned the black rain that fell later that day and the shadows that have been left scattered around city.

As soon as the bomb was dropped the city was engulfed in flame. The fire burned almost everything to the ground, leaving the city covered in rubble.
