Superfortress!
Check it out: the bomber which dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, was a Boeing B-29 SUPERFORTRESS. Jesus christ! What an amazing name for a thing. Boeing is one hell of a company - and despite this event being one of civilization's worst atrocities... the blow is softened (really, only slightly) knowing that it was a "Superfortress" that scorched the Hiroshima skyline.
Now for one of the most fucking chilling things I've ever heard in my life. The Hiroshima bomb, right? - the one that left approximately 140,000 people slain. Yeah, that one. Codename: "Little Boy". FUCK THAT.
The second one, dropped on Nagasaki, was codenamed "Fat Man". Scariest shit I've ever heard.
