Ingineers ramblings

I saw a thing on History International last night about the Japanese Atom Bomb program in WWII. Before you say anything, yes it is sad that I am watching History International on a Saturday night instead of being out trying to find a lady.

Anyway, I had no idea they were a threat and apparently neither did the US at the time. I knew Germany was getting close and may have had a bomb by 46 if we wouldnt have overran the country. Also Germany had sent a sub with uranium to help Japan but when Germany surrendered the sub surrendered to the US Navy.

Supposedly Japan actually detonated a bomb in North Korea just after Hiroshima. The Russians got there at the end of the war and took everything including 6 scientists. So we dont know for sure just what they had done. Can you imagine if they would have sent a suicide sub into San Francisco or LA harbor and detonated an atom bomb.
But then again the conspiracy people think the US detonated an atom bomb on purpose or accident at the Concord Naval Weapons Station (then known as Port Chicago if you want to google it) in the bay area during WWII.
