What if American B-29 bomber "Enola Gay", carrying the "Little Boy" nuclear bomb was shot down over Japan(specifically somewhere on the island Shikoku) and it crash-landed, pilots dead with the bomb still intact?(not really sure how ASB that is)
Several questions about that scenario:
1. Would the mission too Nagasaki still continue?
2. Would the Japanese be able to use the bomb in some way, or is it more likely they would accidentally set it off, fail to detonate it when intended or dismantle it?
3. If they would be able to use it and conceal it from the Americans(who would would put every effort in finding the bomb and destroying it) how would they use it?
4. Is the idea of a Kamikazi submarine or ship carrying "little boy" too ASB?(did the Japanese even have any submarines left?)
The Japanese would not know what this bomb can do, but surely figure out its a huge bomb. If the Nagasaki mission would still be executed the Japanese would know what the bomb can do.
Please, we are all friends here and i have just woken up so if its truly impossible the Japanese would be able to shoot down the plane or that the bomb would survive the crash and still be usable, just some mod move this topic too ASB please. Its all cool
