Meet the 'Violence' of the B-29 Superfortress, the Bomber Plane That Leveled Nagasaki 75 Years Ago by Dropping 'Fat Man' Hit Japan

Today 75 years ago, on August 9, 1945, a nuclear bomb with super large explosive power was dropped by US aircraft in the city of Nagasaki, Japan.

The dropping of the atomic bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" caused the city of Nagasaki to nearly flatten to the ground, killing up to 32% of the city's population, and ending World War II.

Fat Man is the code name for the second US atomic bomb that hit Japan in August 1945.

Previously, on August 6, the atomic bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" had already completed its mission to flatten the city of Hiroshima.

The atomic bomb with an explosive power of 22,000 tonnes of TNT was assembled by scientists and engineers at the Los Alamos Laboratory using plutonium from the Hanford Site.

Fat Man was carried by a Boeing B-29 Superfortress Bockscar, commanded by Major Charless Sweeney.

The B-29 Superfortress is a heavyweight bomber driven by four main engines, designed by Boing and flown by the US during World War II and the Korean War.

The Superfortress was designed for strategic bombing at high altitudes but also excelled in night bombing at low altitudes.



This aircraft was also briefly used to drop sea mines to block the Japanese fleet.

In August 1945, this bomber successfully dropped two nuclear atomic bombs, one each on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Making this aircraft the only aircraft ever to use nuclear weapons in war....
