Nah, Hiroshima was a uranium bomb, the city was flat (Hiroshima MEANS wide island) so the distance from ground zero was a VERY good predictor of lethality; close dead, far live. About 130k dead.
Nagasaki was a plutonium bomb, city was very hilly so you could be close but live (shielded by hill), or far and die. About 70k dead. Nagasaki was a BACK-UP tarket, primary was obscured by clouds.
I love Rush, but he’s wrong about “Nagasaki made them give up”.
That SOUNDS convincing, but that, too, is wrong.
Rush is almost never wrong.
