On August 6, 1945, a lone B-29 bomber called the Enola Gay flew towards Hiroshima, an important industrial and military center in southwestern Japan. Reaching its target, the Enola Gay released a single atomic weapon it carried. The bomb detonated 2,000 feet above the city, flattening 42 square miles and killing at least 80,000 people outright. Thousands of others soon died from the radiation released by the bomb.
