Primary target was Kokura, but when they arrived it was overcasted with clouds. After 3 bombing runs and a failing fuel pump they decided to go to their secondary, Nagasaki. They found Nagasaki obscured as well. Not feeling easy with a 21 kiloton weapon on board they diceded to drop it at the first glimpse of the city. This caused the bomb to fall into a valley which confined the blast of the explosion, leaving parts of the city relatively undamaged because they were protected by the hills. Although this was a much more powerful bomb than the one dropped on Hiroshima, it did less damage
