on two separate cities in South West Japan, on two
separate days: on August 6, 1945 the first 'a' bomb
(code name, Little Boy) was dropped over the 1st sea-
port. LB killed over 130,000 people, but Japanese of-
ficials did not respond quickly enough, three days la-
ter, on August 9, 1945 the USA dropped another 'A'
bomb (code name, Fat Man) on a difference seaport. Af-
ter FM, killed over 70,000 people, Japan's top leader(s)
wasted no time in signing a truce to end WWII.
