In what city and state was the atomic bomb tested?
1 Answer
The first test was about 35 miles from Socorro, New Mexico at the Trinity site. The first use was Hiroshima, Japan. It and Nagasaki, Japan were the only 2 cities that Nuclear weapons were used on.
Explanation:
Hiroshima is a large modern Japanese City which was largely destroyed by an Atomic bomb in 1945. It was picked because of the Army base and naval facilities nearby the A-bomb Dome shown above. The aiming point was a distinctive T-shaped bridge which I think is the one in the background. The Bomb caused a great loss of life and destruction because of the open flat nature of the ground. The steep valleys of Nagasaki channeled the explosion a bit.
