53
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:23.680
that and take a shot as some of you who
54
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.240

a Smokey Bear campaign to help prevent forest fires. Smokey
59
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.240
Bear was named after a New York City fireman. It
60
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.879
was the name Smokey Joe Martin. Now it is a
61
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.680
smoky bear, but they don't care if you call it
62
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.919
Smokey the Bear. Just call if you see smoke Japan
63
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.560
and nineteen forty five Fat Man was a second atomic
64
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.479
bomb that was dropped on Japan. Now that was actually
65
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.919
more powerful than Little Boy, you know, the Little Boy
66
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.400
that was dropped a couple of days ago.
67
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:00.280

70
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.520
to switch over to Nagasaki. Seventy five thousand people were
71
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.319
killed instantly. Now, even though the bomb was more powerful
72
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.199
than the one that was dropped on Hiroshima, Hiroshima is
73
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.519
really flat Nagasaki though it had a lot of hills,
74
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.800
so that's pretty much. Yeah, it showed it a little bit.
75
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.839
I mean, it was still horrible. I mean, seventy five
