Update (Oct 9th, 2005) I've uploaded a new version of the movie here. It included some graphical updates and a credit sequence, enjoy.

On July 16th, 1945, the first man-made nuclear explosion took place at the Alamogordo Test Range. Under a month later, the first atomic bomb, dubbed "Little Boy," arrived at Tinian airbase. The bomb was loaded in a modified B-29, the Enola Gay, and on August 6th, 1945 at 2:45 AM, the Enola Gay lifted off from Tinian. By 6:00 AM, the bomb had been armed in flight and Colonel Paul Tibbets announced to the crew that they were carrying the world's first atomic bomb. Just over two hours later, at 8:12 AM, the bomb was released from the Enola Gay.
Little Boy exploded two thousand feet above the city. The blast was equal to that of 13,000 tons of TNT, and over 80,000 died within seconds of the explosion. Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. On August 14th, Japan accepted the Allied terms of surrender, effectively ending World War II. Together, the two bombings killed approximately 110,000 Japanese citizens and injured another 130,000. By 1950, 230,000 Japanese had died from injuries or radiation.

I don't think thet you say is good becouse the peace don't value hundreds artless of deads and hundrerds ho cross the pain of thet weapon.I adimit thet is good thet the war ended but I don't think there whas't any other non civillian place to demonstrate thet weapon and and end the war.And I whatched history movies about thet destruction and I saw thos ho wasn't luck to die and suffer the incredible pains becouse thet one bomb.I don't think thet we nead to proud about thet bomb I think we nead to be ashamed.

"You know..."

date: June 8, 2008

You'd think since I'm a hundred percent Japanese born and raised in the US. I'd be part of the group that is thankful for such a weapon of mass destruction. Thankful that it was created at the right time to end a war that should not have escalated to the point where we would come up with a way to end it all in one massive explosion.

In a way I'm thankful that the war ended. In a way I'm thankful that such a weapon was created because if it wasn't the war would have been carried on longer and more lives, both American and Japanese, would have been sacrificed for a stupid decision made by the Japanese forces in 1941.

People say History has a tendency to repeat itself. History also has a tendency of dissapearing over time. Every accomplishment in the past, good or bad, is an accomplishment nonetheless...and it's created the world we know today. The options we have today are options that were thought up in the past then redefined to suit the Modern ages needs. For those of us who see the past as something that has already happened and cannot be looked to for answers to problems of the present and future, I feel sorry for you.

In conclusion, I thank the Author for this short and hope that for those of you who watch it, come to understand the mistakes that were made in the past is going to re-appear in the present or near future...and with the help of the weapons, technology, and political leaders of today, tomorrow and beyond...it wil be the end of us.

To the Author: I hope you continue making shorts of all kinds. Your talent for Flash movies is beyond some in Newgrounds, but the meaning of this particular short is beyond most on the World Wide Web. Keep up the good work.

"WOW"

by: Glugg
date: April 1, 2008

Very well done! 10/10!

Fun Fact: "Enola Gay" "Enola" spelled backwards is "Alone" thus "Alone Gay" or in 40's talk "Alone Happy"
But with "Gay"'s more modern meaning, it would now be "Alone Homosexual"

"wonderful"

To all the retards out there who gave this a zero, 1, 2, 3, or 4, I have noticed you can't spell correctly, you use improper grammar, or you fail to mention other important facts, like what American troops did to the Japanese. So by this i assume you are one, or both, of two things. One your mentally retarded and think that people who have military that does horrid things because their leaders order them to, under penalty or death by being a traitor to their country, deserve to die a horrid and painful death or two your 4-8 years old and have no idea what the fuck they are talking about and should go shoot themselves to rid the word of another potential Hitler. Great job on the flash and to all the people who gave it a bad score GO F*** YOURSELVES YOU ROTTEN PIECES OF S**T.
