Why is the Nagasaki bomb the "Forgotten Bomb?" Even here? [View all]

I saw lots of articles, posts and comments on August 6th.

I saw none so far, today.

And while the Nagasaki bomb was more powerful, due to terrain, the damage and death was less.

But still horrible.

Did we "burn ourselves out" on the 6th?
