I use this example when discussing the context of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombing. While any bombing is tragic, the atomic bombs are not worse than other. This single air raid killed more people than Little Boy or Fat Man, and while hundreds of thousands of people died in the March-June strategic bombing of all major Japanese cities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_raids_on_Japan#Firebombing..., the military dictators of Japan did not plan to surrender.
I am not the only one who believes that in the long term the atomic bombs saved millions of Japanese lives.
