Marney: Weekly Blog Post 1

    In August 1945 during the World War 2 the U.S. dropped two giant bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan.  When that happened it made World War 2 end because they surrendered.  When that happened Nagasaki and Hiroshima had some problems.
     The city of Nagasaki was destroyed and 40,000 people died,  74,909 people were injured and tons of people got diseased during the bombing.  People who did not die when there was the bombing slowly began getting sick and died at least 1 month afterward.  They could not live in the city after that for a while and they had no where to go.
     The whole town got destroyed and tons of people died.  People had trouble finding new houses and did find them but they were bad houses.  Tons of people went to hospitals and some people were shipped away because they thought Japan was not safe.  People donated to the people who were sick and were needing help.
     Now it is a town that is not all fancy and stuff, it has houses and offices and food places. Now there are 1 million people living in Nagasaki and it is a very famous town because there was a bombing.  They get money from people.  There is a bunch of radiation from the bombing and when people did not die they stayed alive but got very sick.
     The bomb that was dropped was called the Fat Man.  They called it the Fat Man because they needed code names for them.  Also the two bombs were both very fat so I think that was a good idea.  They dropped the bomb 500 meters off the ground.  Fat Man is a very big bomb, it was the biggest bomb in World War 2.
