Hiroshima August 6 and August 9 1945 I have once again removed the statement Operation suspended 6 August 1945 because of damage caused by atomic bomb attack Service restored in stages from 9 August 1945 The cited reference does not address this The August 6 1945 date is undoubtedly correct However absent a reference with citation perhaps even a brief footnoted explanation the statement that Service restored in stages from 9 August 1945 does not belong Absent a reference the statement is fanciful indeed preposterous and has the distinct cachet of an urban legend Once again please see WP PROVEIT Please see in addition WP REDFLAG Although not quite a fringe theory this is obviously an exceptional claim that requires a high quality reliable source a published reference in Japanese
