The USAF dropped an atomic bomb on the city of about 344,000 people on August 6, 1945. The American military estimated 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing as a result, and many thousands more were made homeless. The bomb completely destroyed 68 percent of Hiroshima's buildings and another 24 percent were damaged. Hiroshima has been rebuilt and was dedicated as an international shrine of peace in 1949 by the Japanese.
