🎬 Little Boy vs. Fat Man: Weight, Yield & Secrets 💥 Part 1

In August 1945, two atomic bombs changed the course of human history in just three days: Little Boy and Fat Man. Developed in extreme secrecy under the Manhattan Project, both weapons relied on completely different mechanics, materials, and physics—comparing Uranium-235 gun-type design against Plutonium-239 implosion dynamics.

Why did Fat Man pack 21 kilotons of explosive power (over 40% more than Little Boy's 15 kilotons), yet result in a different scale of blast damage between Hiroshima and Nagasaki? This video breaks down the science, geography, and military strategy behind these historic detonations.
