| Harry S. Truman at desk, reading script about the dropping of the atomic bomb. There were reasons 100,000 people were killed. There was no air signal. A lot of people were going to work. It was just after breakfast, and the coals the Japanese people used in their stoves were turned over. There were fires all over the city. "They told me it looked like 100 percent Fourth of July in the whole town." |
