The
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb exploded on August 9, 1945, 11:02 am, about 500
meters above 171 Matsuyama-cho, Nagasaki City. This was an aerial
photograph of the situation damaged immediately after the Nagasaki
Atomic Bomb. The hypocenter "Ground Zero" was about 2.5 km upstream of
the Uragami River from the upper left corner of the aerial photograph.
At field-battle order No.17, the original aiming point 114016 was on the
Nigiwai bridge on the way of Nakashima River. For that purpose, this
had been an aerial photograph focusing mainly on the Nagasaki bay area
and the aiming point of Nakasaki Atomic Bomb. The periphery of the
hypocenter "Ground Zero" at the upper left corner was completely
ashamed in a moment. Nagasaki city was surrounded by mountains in the
east and west, while the disaster area completely destroyed the houses
reached about 2.5 km south east to Nagasaki Port, extended more than
about 2 km of Hiroshima Atomic Bomb. The damage suffered into the
semi-rupture ranged from the hypocenter to about 4 km southward.
