    My nephew's wife had a grandmother that was actually at BOTH locations when they were hit! She was sent to Nagasaki after the bomb fell on Hiroshima which she luckily survived with only some minor injuries. In Nagasaki she received severe radiation burns and suffered her whole life until she died when she was around 65. Apparently the radiation that plagued her whole life also affected her children and grandchildren as well. It seems that the majority of people that came from her and her children all seem to develop brain tumors. There was no history of this in her family beforehand so it's very likely that the bombs are the cause of generations of people being born into pain, misery and death.

    At least 70 people are known to have been affected by both bombings,Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the only person to have been officially recognized by the government of Japan as surviving both explosions.
    Tsutomu Yamaguchi , a resident of Nagasaki, was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 am, on August 6, 1945. He returned to Nagasaki the following day and, despite his wounds, he returned to work on August 9, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning, whilst being berated by his supervisor as "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated. In 1957, he was recognized as a hibakusha (explosion-affected person) of the Nagasaki bombing, but it was not until March 24, 2009, that the government of Japan officially recognized his presence in Hiroshima three days earlier. He died of stomach cancer on January 4, 2010, at the age of 93.

    It depends a lot on where you are when the bomb is dropped. Whether you're indoors or out, and how far away you are from ground zero. If you're inside a concrete building, you've got a strong chance of survival. If you're outside and within a mile or so of where the bomb's dropped, you're unlikely to survive, barring very fortunate circumstances.

    To answer the main question-
    "All we are is dust in the wind" would be a proper quote imho...

      The Japanese never thought twice before committing mass genocide or attacking the us or refusing terms of surrender

      Yes, he did. He was informed of the consequences of a prolonged land-based incursion. That was estimated at 1.5-2M, and while that's perhaps high, it'd have been a lot.

    I had friends who said that in Dresden, between 25-35,000 people were killed and that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were no different. Well, the difference is, the death rate ended at 25-35,000. The Hiroshima death toll reached an estimated 200,000 by 1950 as those who survived the blast succumbed to fatal burns, radiation sickness, and various cancers. On 2020, there are still people dying of cancer, as well as the offsprings of the bombing victims.
