Ground Zero
Disastrous War must not be repeated. The plutonium atomic bomb exploded about 500m over the
central monument at 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945. The most part of Nagasaki was destroyed, and
a tremendous number of lives were lost. And about 70,000 of Nagasaki’s 240,000 residents died
instantly, and up to 60,000 were injured.

The radius of total destruction was about 1.6km, followed by fires across the northern portion of the
city to 3.2km south of the bomb.
