Description
(Original Caption) 8/5/49-Nagasaki, Japan: The second Japanese city to feel the fury of the atomic bomb still shows many scars 4 years after the dread missile found its mark on Aug. 9, 1945. The single bomb, which exploded 1,500 feet in the air, destroyed everything over a 4-mile area, killing 24,000 and wounding 40,000. One year after the bombing, the Nagasaki Medical School was still a mass of gutted buildings and crumbling foundations and has not changed much since. U.S. Navy photo from Acme.
