The explosion from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, generated a blast wave that traveled outward at speeds exceeding 1,000 miles per hour. The destructive effects of the explosion were felt up to approximately 1.5 miles from the hypocenter, where the bomb detonated. However, significant damage and fatalities occurred within a radius of about one mile. Beyond this distance, the intensity of the blast and thermal radiation diminished rapidly.
