Many individuals who were killed were subsequently cremated in the firestorm that engulfed central Hiroshima and to a lesser extent Nagasaki. Some people in the harbors were washed out to sea, and other bodies were taken from the city (for public health reasons) without an accurate count. The agencies that handled disasters were completely overwhelmed by the number of casualties.
