The Drop

This is the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. Anyone born after the day this bomb was dropped has lived under some level of fear of the Atomic weapon. The moment this device landed in Japan the world was changed for ever. Man had the power to wipe itself out in a matter of seconds. Before the dropping of the first Atomic bomb defeating an enemy completely took months and millions of soldiers, but nuclear weapons could decimate the planet in a matter of hours. Never has the human race created such an avenue for its own self-destruction. The world was forever changed into a landscape of fear and the world would go MAD. For thousands living in Hiroshima life would end or be changed forever and the war that had pitted world powers against one another would come to a close thanks to the necessary horror of the Little Boy.
