On August 6, 1945, at 8:16 a.m., an American B-29 bomber dropped the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. With the force of 15,000 tons of TNT, the blast produced an instant temperature of 5400øF. Some 80,000 people died in the blast. By the end of 1945 the death count had reached 140,000. Amazingly, Hiroshima not only rebuilt, but today stands as a city of peace. Each time a nuclear weapon is tested, a telegram of protest is sent to the leader of the testing country signed by the mayor of Hiroshima.
