New Mexico were the first experiment (no one was hurt) and then came Hiroshima in japan and then came Nagasaki in japan (hundreds of thousands were killed in an instant in these blasts).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually it was discovered following the New Mexico test (called Trinity) that several families lived and farmed in side canyons in the high fallout zone of the test. Prior to the test nobody knew these people lived there, so they were not evacuated before the test (as had been other families known to be living in the area). These people and their cattle received significant burns from beta radiation emitted by the fallout particles and lost hair in the burned areas. Some of their sheep became unable to eat because of these burns on their mouths and had to be euthanized to save them from suffering further. These people most definitely were hurt by the test!
