Atomic Bomb ???

Question

How many people died in Hiroshima when the atom bomb was dropped
How many people died in Nagasaki when the atom bomb was droped

Answer 1

yo its me

Answer 2

In 1946, the Manhattan Engineer District published a study that concluded that 66,000 people were killed at Hiroshima out of a population of 255,000. Of that number, 45,000 died on the first day and 19,000 during the next four months. In addition, "several hundred" survivors were expected to die from radiation-induced cancers and leukemia over the next 30 years.

As with the estimates of deaths at Hiroshima, it will never be known for certain how many people died as a result of the atomic attack on Nagasaki. The best estimate is 40,000 people died initially, with 60,000 more injured. By January 1946, the number of deaths probably approached 70,000, with perhaps ultimately twice that number dead total within five years.

Answer 3

Very few, when compared to how many US lives would have been lost in an invasion of Japan. Also more people died in the fire bombing raid of Tokyo than in either of the Atomic Bombs.

Answer 4

Don't have an exact number, but the initial (immediate) result was not nearly as big as most people think, somewhere around 60,000 in Hiroshima. However, radiaton poisoning later infected a lot more, which is where most of the total casualties went- many didn't survive.

Answer 5

140,000 Hiroshima( Little boy), 80,000 Nagasaki(Fat man)
Here is a little info for you my friend:
Little Boy and Fat Man were Fission bombs, with different firing mechanism, Little Boy was Gun-Triggered, Fat Man was Implosion Triggered.
Little Boy with only 1.5% efficiency had 14.5 Kiloton yield
equal to 14,500 tons of TNT.
Fat Man 17% efficiency had 23 Kiloton Yield.
1.5% efficiency means only 1.5% of the fuel or Uranium was Fissioned before the explosion !!????
Now are ready for this, OK Fusion Bombs: also called thermonuclear bombs, have much higher efficiency than fission bombs.In 1952 a Hydrogen Fusion bomb was test detonated on Elughelap Island. Not to get into the details, a Fusion bomb is triggered by explosion of a Fission Bomb !!!??? That means there are 2 explosions, all takes about 600 billionths of second , 550 billionth of second for Fission bomb implosion and 50 billionth of a second for Fusion. The results was an immense explosion over 700 times greater than Little boy.
10,000 kilotons yield, equal to 10,000,000 tons of TNT??!!
I hope that never occurs again. And i wish those folks that keep saying : Nuke this or Nuke that, read this info.

Peace on Earth.

My Best Regards.

Answer 6

i'd go with the second answerer, who seems to have more accurate info, but I'll quote the well known numbers anyway. 80,000 died at Hiroshima; 40,000 at Nagasaki, those numbers do not take into account the "survivors" who would die later from complications arising from radiation poisoning.

Answer 7

About 66,000 initially for Hiroshima and 40,000 for Nagaskai. The number for each city has risen though due to the lingering affects of radiation.

Answer 8

A lot less than the number who would have died if Marines landed on Japan and fought the Japanese Army on Japanese soil. U.S. Marines and the U.S. Navy chased Japanese from Pearl Harbor all the way back across the Pacific to Japan.

Answer 9

Roughly 77,000 and 70,000 respectively. The actual count will never be know as the Japanese never had an accurate census of those cites.

Answer 10

can't count it because some bodies became a dust.

Answer 11

One too many, no other answer
