Greater Hiroshima had about 132,000 residents. After August 6, 1945 around 70,000 people died in history's first wartime nuclear explosion, over the downtown area. The blast equivalent was about 20,000 tons of TNT in one bomb. So the survivors numbered about 62,000 in the "suburbs." Nagasaki suffered the same fate 3 days later.
