The bomb named Fat-Man was detonated at 11:02 am. at an altitude of 1500 ft. Yield 21Kt. Of the 286,000 people living in Nagasaki at the time of cgs the blast, cgs 74,000 were killed in an instant, and another 75,000 sustained severe injuries. Fat Man was identical to the Gadget device used in cgs the Trinity test, except it was encased in steel. Ostensibly, Fat-Man used Pu239 instead U235 and more efficient, implosion type design. It measured 60 inches in diameter, was 12 feet long, and weighed 10,300 lb. All the parts for the Fat Man assembly finally arrived at Tinian by Aug. 2, 1945. The delivery date has been shifted several times due to changing weather conditions. Finally the date was set, Aug. 9. 1945. Primary target for the bombing has been an arsenal in the city of Kokura. B-29 arrived at the target zone around 10:44 am. However clouds, flaks and fighters prevented it from precise bombing and it had to rout towards the secondary target. One more problem was the malfunctioning fuel pump, which rendered a 600 gallon auxilary tank useless.
