Approx. 70,000 ETA: Nobody knows exactly, but some 70,000 people are thought to have died as a result of initial blast, heat and radiation effects. This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city. By the end of 1945, because of the lingering effects of radioactive fallout and other after effects, the Hiroshima death toll was probably over 100,000. The five-year death total may have reached or even exceeded 200,000, as cancer and other long-term effects took hold.
