About the article "Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki", section "The bombing".

Candidate passages:
Following the success of the Trinity test, two bombs were prepared for use against Japan during World War II.
The first, dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, was code-named "Little Boy", and used the "gun" design and uranium-235 as its fission source.
It was an untested design but was considered very likely to work and was considerably simpler than the implosion model.
It could not be tested, because there was only enough uranium-235 for one bomb.
The second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, was code-named "Fat Man" and was a plutonium bomb of the type tested at Trinity.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed at least 148,000 people and many more over time.
By 1950, the death toll was over 340,000.
They were followed days later by the surrender of Japan.
Debate over the justification of the use of nuclear weapons against Japan persists to this day, both in scholarly and popular circles. 
A Tale of Two Cities was a 1946 propaganda/documentary film about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, produced by the Army-Navy Screen Magazine.
The film chronologically, and for the most part, neutrally, describes the testing and the use of the atomic bombs impact on Hiroshima, describing where the bomb was actually dropped, and the damage done to military industrial targets, as well as noting which edifices sustained less damage, like those built with reinforced concrete.
An interview is shown with a Jesuit priest, who describes his experience, and notes that he believes that approximately 100,000 people died.
Then the film moves on to Nagasaki, telling the audience that U.S. President Harry S. Truman warned the Japanese that he would use more nukes if they didn't surrender.
The Nagasaki mission is described, showing the two plants that were the basic targets, and the valley that they planned to bomb, and then shows the mushroom cloud, "The baptism of the aggressor nation"At the end, the film takes a rather sober view of the future of atomic power, showing an "atomic shadow" of someone in the Hiroshima blast, saying that this could be someone of any race or creed, and that the future of atomic power could help mankind, or destroy it, depending on how people use it. 
, commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome or , in Hiroshima, Japan, is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
The ruin serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation. 
The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in August 1945.
The two bombings were the first and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in wartime.
Following a firebombing campaign that destroyed many Japanese cities, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of Japan.
The war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May 8, 1945, but the Pacific War continued.
Together with the United Kingdom and China, the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945, threatening "prompt and utter destruction".
By August 1945, the Allied Manhattan Project had successfully tested an atomic device and had produced weapons based on two alternate designs.
The 509th Composite Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces was equipped with a Silverplate Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands.
A uranium gun-type atomic bomb (Little Boy) was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, followed by a plutonium implosion-type bomb (Fat Man) on the city of Nagasaki on August 9.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day.
During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness.
In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison.
On August 15, just days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies.
On September 2, it signed the instrument of surrender, ending World War II.
The bombings' role in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated. 
Shuntaro Hida (born 1917 in Hiroshima, Japan) is a Japanese physician who was an eyewitness to the dropping of the "Little Boy" Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay on 6 August 1945.
He treated survivors as a medical doctor and wrote about the effects of radiation on the human body.
The night before the bomb was dropped 28 year old Dr. Hida left the Hiroshima Military Hospital where he was stationed as an army medical officer to attend to a sick child in the village of Hesaka.
He was therefore approximately 6 kilometers from ground zero when the bomb was dropped and he looked up and saw the Boeing B-29 Superfortress aircraft which he described as appearing like a 'tiny silver drop'.
He then felt the heat and blast from the explosion and saw the mushroom cloud over the city.
As a medical doctor he treated the wounded and saw the short and long term effects of radiation on the human body.
After the war he continued to treat atomic bomb survivors (known as Hibakusha) for many years and he became the Director of the Hibakusha Counselling Centre.
He also sought compensation from the United States government and advocated the abolition of nuclear weapons.
In 2005 he was interviewed for the BBC drama documentary ' and his experiences were re-enacted in a dramatic reconstruction of events.
He was also interviewed for the documentary ' in 2006.
Shuntaro Hida appears in the documentary Atomic Wounds by Journeyman Pictures.
"At 89, Doctor Hida, a survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb at Hiroshima, continues to care for some of the other quarter of a million survivors.
"Atomic Wounds" retraces his dedicated journey and highlights how the terrible danger of radiation was concealed by successive American administrations in the 50's - 70's so that nuclear power could be freely developed, with no concern for public health."
