Both the Hiroshima and the Nagasaki atomic bombs exhibited similar effects. The damages to man-made structures and other inanimate objects was the result in both cities of the following effects of the explosions:
A. Blast, or pressure wave, similar to that of normal explosions.
B. Primary fires, i.e., those fires started instantaneously by the heat radiated from the atomic explosion.
C. Secondary fires, i.e., those fires resulting from the collapse of buildings, damage to electrical systems, overturning of stoves, and other primary effects of the blast.
D. Spread of the original fires (B and C) to other structures.
The casualties sustained by the inhabitants of both cities were due to:
A. "Flash" burns, caused directly by the almost instantaneous radiation of heat and light at the moment of the explosion.
B. Burns resulting from the fires caused by the explosion.
- The Manhattan Engineer District, June 29, 1946-
This means that the actual fire from the bombs was consumed in a flash.

Would the cities bombed by the atomic bomb just be bombed by the fire bombs?
See: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Why didn't both sides of the fire an atomic bomb?
After checking out the devastation and the sickness no other nation wanted to get in an atomic holocaust.
What did Truman fear about dropping the atomic bomb?
That it wouldnt work or that the Earth would catch fire.
Why is Hydrogen bomb more destructive than atom bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atomic bomb because it has hydrogen. Hydrogen is highly flammable, and if a hydrogen bomb exploded with enough force and just enough fire, a huge wide area of a fiery explosion will occur. This is more destructive than the atomic bomb. Fire basically engulfs everything and destroys all in its path, making for an effective bomb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wrong!Hydrogen does not burn in a hydrogen bomb, it fuses releasing atomic energy too. This fusion reaction is over in microseconds, much faster than combustion can start; also it reaches temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, much hotter than any chemical fire or fission bomb. The reason a fusion bomb is usually more destructive than a fission bomb is the fusion bomb has no upper limit on yield, the fission bomb cannot be built with a yield over 1 megaton. One can just keep adding fusion stages until you get the desired yield.
Why doesnt US fire atomic bomb on Afghanistan?
Why? Because of mafia they control the drugs and some world leaders.

What do you need to mix with atomic bomb on alchemy?
Fire
What is the difference between an atom bomb and an atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb killed millions of people in just one bomb , the napalm on the other hand , was nothing like it . Napalm is a chemical device ... it produces fire (it's also called jellied gasoline). An atomic bomb is a nuclear device ... and puts out considerably more energy.
Why didn't both sides of the fire an atomic bomb?
After checking out the devastation and the sickness no other nation wanted to get in an atomic holocaust.
What was the temperature of the atomic bomb explosion over hiroshima?
2,000 degrees in the fire blanket.
How do you make an atomic bomb on little alchemy?
gunpowder+fire=explosion.
What did scientists want to do instead of bombing the city of Hiroshima?
Instead of the atomic bomb they rather use fire bombs instead because they were sure the atomic bomb will crush the earth crust.
What kinds of bombs are there?
Smoke bomb Tear bomb Hydrogen bomb Nuclear bomb Water bomb Atomic bomb Fire bomb Grenade Dynamite Poison gas bomb Acid bomb Flare bomb Spark bomb Fireworks Stink bomb
What did Truman fear about dropping the atomic bomb?
That it wouldnt work or that the Earth would catch fire.
What improvements were made to the atomic bomb?
Higher & lower yieldsSmaller sizeLighter weightImproved shock & fire safetyetc.
