Richard Rhodes Quote
Of 76,000 buildings in Hiroshima 70,000 were damaged or destroyed, 48,000 totally. It is no exaggeration to say, reports the Japanese study, that the whole city was ruined instantaneously.2679 Material losses alone equaled the annual incomes of more than 1.1 million people. In Hiroshima many major facilities—prefectural office, city hall, fire departments, police stations, national railroad stations, post offices, telegram and telephone offices, broadcasting station, and schools—were totally demolished or burned. Streetcars, roads, and electricity, gas, water, and sewage facilities were ruined beyond use.
