About Nuclear Bomb
The first nuclear weapon, Little Boy, was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, killing 140,000. Fat Man hit Nagasaki three days later, killing 70,000. The Manhattan Project cost 2 billion dollars and employed 130,000 people. Over 12,500 nuclear warheads exist today, enough to destroy civilization multiple times.
