The mayor of Nagasaki reported that the bomb was a dud, and only then realized he'd heard nothing from the north half of the city. Same statistical paradox as the Brits reinforcing the parts of planes that returned with bullet holes, until someone said, "Um", ... The Japanese surrendered before realizing that Nagasaki had been half destroyed. The bomber crew was going to release on radar alone, against orders, realizing this made more sense than releasing over the ocean before landing. Then they saw an opening in the clouds. Not a good day for visibility; Nagasaki wasn't even the primary target.
