The second atomic bomb was dropped at 11:02 AM on this day in 1945: nicknamed "the Fat Man," the bomb devastated Nagasaki and demonstrated that the attack on Hiroshima three days earlier was repeatable. When the Emperor Hirohito announced Japan's unconditional surrender, he explained that "the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage."
