How many people did hiroshima kill?

Answer 1

On August 6, 1945, at 9:15 AM Tokyo time, a B-29 plane, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, dropped a uranium atomic bomb, code named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan's seventh largest city. In minutes, half of the city vanished. According to U.S. estimates, 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injuried many more were made homeless as a result of the bomb. Deadly radiation reached over 100,000. In the blast, thousands died instantly.

The city was unbelievably devastated. Of its 90,000 buildings, over 60,000 were demolished.

Answer 2

On august 6 1945 the atomic was dropped over Hiroshima. It detonated 580 meters over central Hiroshima at 8:15 AM local time with a yield estimated at 15 kilotons. Some researchers reach the calculation of estimates of 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injured many more were made homeless as a result of the bomb. Deadly radiation reached over 100,000. In the blast, thousands died instantly. It sounds bad enough but I could tell that logic tells you the numbers have to be more.

To reach that estimate, the census of 1940 was used. The bomb was dropped in august 6 1945. In five years, reproductions of human beings and the rate would make us know, the casualties estimates was more. But there is more.

Thousands of Koreans immigrated to Japan to work. Those peoples were not in the census since they emigrated starting in the winter of 1940. That was after the census took place. So know why I am sure the numbers were higher.

Some consider this estimation more accurate. On the day of the bombing, an estimated 348,000 people were in Hiroshima, including 265,000 Japanese residents, 20,000 Korean residents, 12,000 conscripted Japanese workers, 3,000 conscripted Korean workers, 48,000 Japanese soldiers, and a small number of prisoners of war. Casualty figures are uncertain; despite many surveys (some figures presented here are extrapolated from partial surveys). Among civilians, possibly 44,000 to 59,000 were killed the day of the bombing, with another 17,000 missing. Subsequent deaths include about 25,000 through the end of August 1945, 9,000 in September 1945, 2,000 in October-December 1945, and 2,500 in 1946. Many of these subsequent deaths involved radiation injuries. Deaths among survivors after 1946 include greater fractions from natural causes. Less information is available regarding military fatalities, but at least 9,000 soldiers died through the end of 1946. The estimated 130,000 fatalities to 1950 include about 111,000 Japanese civilians, 12,000 Japanese soldiers, and 6,500 Koreans. After 1950, deaths attributed to radiation include about 60 leukemia deaths, 300 other cancer deaths, and 145 non-cancer deaths. New cases of leukemia peaked in 1951.
