The numbers vary, though it is generally excepted to be 66,000 to 75,000 (out of a total population of 255,000) so the bomb killed about a third or so of the population supposing it killed 75,000. 45,000 were killed on the spot from the bomb, vaporized instantly. And 19,000 died in the next four months, with radiation basically flaying their insides. Thousands were killed within the next decade, from radiation induced leukemia and cancer. The effects of the disastrous bomb are still felt today, with babies being deformed as an indirect result of the bomb. So you could say maybe, in the long term, over 100,000.
