AFTERMATH OF THE BOMBING
Some of the concrete buildings in Hiroshima were very strongly constructed and their framework didn’t collapse even though they were fairly close to the center of damage in the city. Since the bomb detonated in the air, the blast was downward rather then sideways, which was a big part of the survival of the Prefecture Industrial Promotional Hall.

BURN The energy that was released by the bomb was powerful enough to burn through clothing, causing their skin to burn very badly.
