The small boy which is what they called the first bomb which they landed in Hiroshima Japan killed between 90,000 and 166,000 people. Half of the deaths occurred within the first two days. Also 90% of the doctors and nurses died in this bombing so there wasn't very much help once this all went down. This bomb had as much power as 16 kilotons of TNT. A kiloton of TNT is 1000 tons of explosives. There were 16 of them in this one bomb. The b-29 bomber that dropped the bomb was flying at 32,000 feet above Hiroshima when they dropped the nuke.
I think that whoever decided to use atomic warfare was a genius It really showed Japan who is boss. By choosing to do this I think that it made all of the other countries kind of scared of the United States.
