In Hiroshima, a small community of Jesuit Fathers lived in a church house near the parish church, situated only eight blocks from the center of the bomb blast. When Hiroshima was destroyed by the atomic bomb,
all eight members of the small Jesuit community escaped unscathed, while every other person who was within a radius of roughly one and a half kilometers from the center of the explosion died immediately. The church house where the Jesuits lived was still standing, while the buildings in every direction from it were leveled.

What was the percentage of deaths at hiroshima?
Hiroshima was destroyed in 80% of the buildings. They measured that by the buildings still standing. That they didn't take in consideration was the number of the still standing buildings that served no purpose. Still standing doesn't mean you can use it. As a matter of fact, most of the still standing buildings were destroyed for being not safe for living or housing a manufacturing plant.

Where did the US drop the atomic bomb?
The US dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The first bomb was used on August 5, 1945. The second was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 -- mainly to prove that the Hiroshima attack was indeed an incredibly devastating new weapon that could and would be used again. (The US was still building its fourth and fifth bombs.) At Hiroshima, the bomb exploded 2,000 feet from the ground to increase the damage from the blast wave. But it was a firestorm from the city's burning structures that killed many of the residents who survived the blast itself. In Nagasaki, a lower detonation height and an aiming error meant that several areas of the city were shielded by the intervening hills.

Hiroshima is probably so special beacause it was hit with the first atomic bomb which was also experimental. The atomic bomb works loke a gun. A tnt explosion shoots forward a batch of uranium-235.This then hits another batch of uranium 235 and there is a fission. This gets as hot than the sun. So what probably makes Hiroshima special is that an atomic bomb the same temprature as the sun was detenated in it killing 70,000 people turing a lot of them into carbon.
