Actually...Nagasaki was a secondary target to Fukuoka on August 9th. Due to many SNAFUs and the weather...Bock's Car ( the plane that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki) just barely was able to make one run over Nagasaki, was about to drop the bomb by radar, when the clouds cleared momentarily and ground zero ironically came very close to the Mitsubishi plant that had manufactured the torpedos that were used at Pearl Harbor...

Payback is a bitch...

Is that the same Mitsubishi plant that is now producing Galants, etc.?
