6th August 1945.
History sometimes takes place over long periods of time; sometimes it can occur in a single day. This high-drama series looks at those momentous days in the last century when great and terrible things transpired within 24 hours which would leave an impact on the history of the world for decades afterwards.
On 6 August 1945, twelve US airmen climbed aboard a B-29 Superfortress bomber at an airfield on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Their mission was so secret that even they were not certain of its true nature. Their cargo was a special type of bomb, and their instruction was to head for the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
By the end of the following day, the rest of the world would have heard about the bomb and about Hiroshima, and life would never be the same again. The world would forever be haunted by the spectre of nuclear destruction . . .
