The story will continue in the second episode with the events immediately following the explosion. In that mushroom that rises there are the bodies of at least thirty thousand people. Within a radius of 2.5 km another fifty thousand will die in the space of a few seconds. Those who were even further away will be hit by a wave of heat that does not kill, but burns savagely. In the following days, months and years, thousands and thousands more people will die as a result of radiation. We will also find out what happened on the plane, which was hit head-on by the shock wave caused by the explosion. Through archive images we will follow the reactions of Japan and the whole world to the spread of the news and President Truman's speech to the nation on what happened and his motivations. Meanwhile, at the Tinian base, preparations continue for the new mission which will lead to the dropping of another bomb on Nagasaki on 9 August 1945.
