The bombing of Nagasaki. The city is only one of two atomic bomb targets in history so far. Codenamed 'Fat Man', the bomb killed 40,000 instantly and achieved a final death toll of nearly 74,000 and almost 75,000 injuries. Although more powerful than the 'Little Boy' bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Nagasaki's rough terrain meant the damage was reduced.
