At 11:02 a.m. on 9 August 1945, an explosion in Nagasaki, Japan, changed the lives of the people here and the world. But it wasn’t meant to be. The bombs were meant for the original target, Kokura, a military and chemical weapons factory city about 160kms or 100miles away. In a split second, the beautiful harbour city of Nagasaki was reduced to rubble and ash. So, what happened? Why Nagasaki?
