Atomic Wonder: A Bonsai Tree Withstood Blast Equaling 20 Kilotons of TNT

A fisherman some 20 miles away from Hiroshima, Japan, described it as a tremendous thunder, but few within two miles from where the bomb hit reported even hearing the blast. After the Enola Gay dropped the first of two atomic bombs that killed over 100,000 people instantly, little was left standing after the explosion except for the shells of buildings and a nearly 400-year-old bonsai tree that now lives in Washington, DC.
