When we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, why didn't the Japanese surrender since they were so ready to do so according to the article ?

It took a second bomb dropped on Nagasaki to get them to capitulate...

It took even more than that, the day Nagasaki was bombed, the Third Fleet was bombarding targets on Honshu, 5 days later 800 B-29s raided Japan, the Japs surrendered the next day.
