Why is the Nagasaki bomb the "Forgotten Bomb?" Even here?

[Archae]

I saw lots of articles, posts and comments on August 6th.

I saw none so far, today.

And while the Nagasaki bomb was more powerful, due to terrain, the damage and death was less.

But still horrible.

Did we "burn ourselves out" on the 6th?

1. Hiroshima is the 2nd most horrid word in the American lexicon, succeeded only by NAGASAKI

Imagine How Many Lives Would Have Been Saved IF We Had Accepted Japans 1 Condition Earlier? http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023417433

But you know that already.

3. I wrote about Nagasaki on the 5th, in my only comment about the bombings. . .

In it, I point out that deaths attributed to leukemia occurred more often at Hiroshima than Nagasaki, for the United States experimented with uranium on the first city, plutonium on the next.

As I concluded then, we can pray for ourselves, if we like. Not that I believe it will matter.

8. Because Nagasaki is the more disturbing event...

... it was an experimental test of "the bomb of the future."

The U.S.A. made five Hiroshima type bombs.This design was considered too dangerous and too expensive to stockpile. Nobody wants to be around an atomic bomb that can go off by accident, in a plane crash, lightning strike, etc...

U.S.A. military leaders knew we'd be making hundreds, maybe thousands of plutonium implosion bombs, and wanted to see what one would do to a living city. Nagasaki was crawling with U.S. researchers soon after Japan surrendered.

120 of those "Fat Man" bombs were made; in 1950 had all been replaced with more sophisticated designs.
