Even in the worst cases of conventional bombing (like Tokyo), only 10%
of the affected population was killed.
It would appear that somewhere between 25 and 30 percent of the
Hiroshima population was killed.

Comparing kiloton equivalents, it might well be that the Tokyo fire
raid was much more devastating.
