the two atomic bombs were dropped 3 days apart from each other un august of 1945. One went to Hiroshima and the other went to nagasaki. atomic bombs will insenerate, so it was difficult for japan to get an accurate accounting, but it's estimated that more than 100,000 people died in the first bomb and about 75,000 people died in the secdond bombing. Now that was instantaneous. Many, MANY more died over the years that followed because of radiation poisoning....Yes it was based on technology. Truth be known when the first bomb was dropped, we knew that the explosion was going to be big; HOWEVER, it surprised everybody to just how much damage was caused. An atomic bomb at that point had never been tested, so we really had no idea what was going to happen and what the end result was going to be....

The first atomic bomb test was in July1945, in New Mexico USA. Nobody died in this test. All man-made things are based on the technology available at the time - this was new technology indeed.

The first atomic bomb hit New Mexico. No one died at first, but some people may have gotten sick later and died as a result. It was based on technology.

there were several test explosions at the Alamagordo, New Mexico test site, but the first bomb used "in anger" was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on the morning of August 6, 1945. It had a yield of about 20 kilotons-equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT and killed approximately 10,000 people including those in the initial blast and those that died within the first ten days after the blast from radiation sickness and burns. Germany was working on the key ingredient in the late 1930's and early 1940's--heavy water, whose chemical formula H2O2--extra molecule of oxygen. The raids by the Allies on the Paenemunde plant prevented Hitler from getting the bomb first, as he surely would have placed them on his V-1 and V-2 rockets and destroyed England.

- Atomic bomb test explosion in Alamagordo, New Mexico, July 16, 1945
- Twenty-one days after the test, the B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped the uranium bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later the plutonium bomb was used to bomb Nagasaki. The two bombs killed approximately 150,000 people

The first nuclear weapons were created by the US. In war we used it first against Hiroshima, Japan. Some say 200,000 people died because of the attack. It was based on technology of the of course. Physicists worked years trying to split an atom for immense energy. There was a lot of research and development involved.

Japan and I dont think they could retrieve an exact count on the bodies becuase some in the the middle of the blast probabaly got pretty much disintagrated.

first one was a test in White Sands, NM. Second was on Hiroshima, Japan roughly 100,000 deaths.
It was all complicated technology for the time.

Hiroshima, approximately 70,000 people, the actual first blast was in a remote area of New Mexico, nobody died till later when soldiers that were viewing it developed radiation.
