The Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima and the Fat Boy on Nagasaki. The bombs killed nearly 140,000 people in Hiroshima alone at the time of blast. This included women and children. When the nuclear bomb exploded, a toxic mushroom cloud formed over the city, big enough to cover the entire city.

Most of the houses were made out of wood in Japan. At the time of blast, the houses either caught fire or were blown off due to the force. Some photographic evidences showed severe burns on people who were not even close to ground zero. The blast was powerful enough to kill people who were at several meters away from the blast point.

Even years after the blast, people in Hiroshima were still developing diseases like cancer and suffering from deformities and malnutrition. Some children were born without limbs soon after the blast. The pregnant women, who were exposed to the blast radiation directly, either died at labor or gave birth to deformed babies.

The Little Boy that was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 was the first bomb and the Fat boy was later dropped on Nagasaki. Picture evidence shows that Hiroshima was a complete city with buildings and fields surrounding it before the blast, and after the blast, it was completely wiped out and devastated. It just looked like a grave yard without tomb stones.
