Why NEVER ask AI why Nazis "The third atomic bomb meant for Japan killed two American physicists instead?" A I Overview This statement is false; while the United States did have a third atomic bomb ready to be deployed against Japan during World War II, it was never dropped and no American physicists were killed by it; Japan surrendered before the need to use a third bomb arose, meaning it was never detonated.
Key points to remember:
No "accidental" detonation: The third bomb was never accidentally detonated, killing American physicists or anyone else.
Prepared for further use: The US did indeed have a third atomic bomb prepared in case Japan did not surrender after the first two bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
- Surrender before use: Japan surrendered before the third bomb needed to be deployed.
