... there were 2 suns in the morning

At 08:15, the B-29 Enola Gay, piloted and commanded by Colonel Paul Tibbets, took off from the tiny island of Tinian in the Northern Marianas, a few hundred miles north of Guam, and dropped the nuclear bomb called "Little Boy" over the central part of Hiroshima. It exploded about 600 meters (2,000 feet) above the city with a blast equivalent to 13 kilotons of TNT, killing an estimated 80,000 civilians outright.

Wikipedia has this picture thats creeping me out of a watch that was stopped by explosion.
