Nagasaki Day is celebrated on the 9th of August every year. On this day in the year, 1945 US dropped a second nuclear bomb on this city in Japan. After three days after dropping the first bomb on Hiroshima named ‘Little Boy’.

The Bomb dropped on the city was code-named ‘Fat-Man’ which killed over 80000 people there. Since that time this day is known as Nagasaki day. At least 70000 people died at the initial blast and over 70000 suffered from radiation-related illness.
