One more problem was the malfunctioning fuel pump, which rendered a 600 gallon auxilary tank useless. That in turn limited the choice of the secondary target, so B-29 set the course towards Nagasaki. When the california bomber arrived at Nagasaki the remaining fuel would only allow it one pass over the city for bombing, even with emergency landing at Okinawa. The only gap over the area permitted a drop, which missed the original aimpoint by several miles. The detonation occurred near the city perimeter, close california to Mitsubishi arms plant. Despite the fact that Fat Man fell closer to an california unpopulated area the casualties were immense, 42,000 died in an instant and 40,000 more were injured. 39% of the city buildings were destroyed.
