At 8:15 A.M., the bomb exploded with a blinding flash in the sky, and a great rush of air and a loud rumble of noise extended for many miles around the city the first blast was soon followed by the sounds of falling buildings and of growing fires, and a great cloud of dust and smoke began to cast a pall of darkness over the city.Īt 8:16 A.M., the Tokyo control operator of the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation noticed that the Hiroshima station had gone off the air. The normal radio broadcast warning was given to the people that it might be advisable to go to shelter if B-29's were actually sighted, but no raid was expected beyond some sort of reconnaissance. At nearly 8:00 A.M., the radar operator in Hiroshima determined that the number of planes coming in was very small - probably not more than three - and the air raid alert was lifted. The planes approached the coast at a very high altitude. The alert had been given and radio broadcasting stopped in many cities, among them Hiroshima. About an hour previously, the Japanese early warning radar net had detected the approach of some American aircraft headed for the southern part of Japan. The bomb exploded over Hiroshima at 8:15 on the morning of August 6, 1945. In every detail, the attack was carried out exactly as planned, and the bomb performed exactly as expected. The weather was good, and the crew and equipment functioned perfectly.

The mission went smoothly in every respect. Hiroshima was the primary target of the first atomic bomb mission.
