80 years ago today: On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped a uranium bomb, nicknamed “Little Boy,” on Hiroshima, Japan.
— The bomb had an explosive yield equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT, devastating the city and burning approximately 70% of it.
— Within the first few months, the bombing killed an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima.
— Roughly 50% of those within 1.2 kilometers of the hypocenter died that day, with 80-100% mortality rates approaching the explosion site.
— Many more died in the following years from the effects of radiation exposure, including leukemia, cancer, and other diseases.

Comatose woman woke before organ harvesting surgery but 'docs operated anyway'
Danella Gallegos, who was 38 at the time, was moments away from having her organs removed when doctors in New Mexico made the life-saving decision to abandon the procedure when they saw her blinking
An organ donation operation pushed for the removal of a comatose woman's body parts after she showed signs of life, medics claim.
Danella Gallegos was homeless when she suffered an unspecified medical emergency that left her in a coma at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2022.
Her family was devastated when they were told she would never recover, and they decided to donate her organs to save the life of someone else in need.
Preparations were made with the New Mexico Donor Services, which says it serves two million people in the state by "connecting organ and tissue donations to the patients who need them".
But in the lead up to the donation date, her family reported seeing tears forming in her eyes - which they thought showed signs of life. They told the donation co-ordinators, who brushed it off by saying it was simply a reflex.
On the day of the donation, her sister saw Danella moving while holding her hand - which convinced her that her sister was still sentient.
Then, before her surgery, medics witnessed Danella blink on their command while deep in a coma, leaving them stunned.
A New York Times report detailed how the pushy organ co-ordinator told the doctors she should be plied with morphine so they could continue with the procedure.
Defying the co-ordinator, the doctors took Danella out of surgery in a decision that saved her life.
Danella went on to make a full recovery.
"I feel so fortunate," she said. Danella says the only thing she remembers from the coma is feeling a sense of fear.
One veteran intensive care nurse at the Presbyterian said: "All they care about is getting organs. They’re so aggressive. It’s sickening.'
It comes after a number of similar cases have put the spotlight on the organ donation process in the US.

Remember this scary chart showing 20-30% declines in European travel to the US? Well, it turns it this was mostly a one month anomaly, as travel was shifted from March to April. Sorry, my chart isn't as pretty as the FT
