This article review is about the Doubts Raised on Book’s Tale of Atom Bomb by the William j. Broad published on February 20, 2010. It’s basically about a guy who wrote a story about the bombing run on Hiroshima. He got some facts from a family who claimed that they were related to one of the men who was on the plane that dropped the atomic bomb. Some of the surviving men that were truly on the plane claimed that these peoples’ ancestor was never on the flight. But some say that he was. This argument has gotten the man who wrote the story in a lot of trouble.
The key points in the story, is to get your facts right before you publish. Especially on something that is as big as the first dropping of the atomic bomb. I thought it was interesting to know that some people say that the bomb had a malfunction while they were loading the it onto the plane. This malfunction killed a man and took away about half of the bomb’s full power. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I would really like to find out.
And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
