The atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima (Little Boy) on August 6, 1945, instantly killed over 60,000 people. Over the passing of time since that day, the death toll has since risen to around 140,000, due to the additional loss of those who had succumbed to radiation poisoning. Based on the population of Hiroshima at the time of the bombing (about 340,000-350,000, figure comes from the Radiation Effects Research Foundation), and the research of William Robert Johnston into this very subject, the total number of injured due to the bombing of Aug. 6 can be estimated to be in the neighborhood of about 86,000.
