    Towards the end of World War II, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, however the second bomb was not intended for Nagasaki, but for another city of Japan. What is the city and why did the U.S. drop the second bomb on Nagasaki instead of the destined second city?

    		The primary target (Kokuro) was obscured by clouds. So the plane moved on to the secondary target, Nagasaki.
