Kokura was the primary target and three bombing runs were made before diverting to Nagasaki.

Leading to the concept of the "luck of Kokura" where you avoid a catastrophe without even being aware of it.

Thank you for sharing! I knew Nagasaki was alternate selection, but this is first time I’ve heard three runs were attempted before diverting.
