@fruitsandpi The "hypocenter" is where the bomb actually exploded. It was set to explode while still in the air above its target, maximizing damage. "Hypo" meaning "above," and "center" of course means area. Hypocenter is similar to an earthquake's "epicenter," except one is above ground, the other below. The bomb actually exploded about 1,000 feet (figures vary) above the intended target, but was one mile away (approximately) from Sadako Sasaki's home.
@beetlejuiceflorida oh yeah and I was wondering how did she survive the explosion if she was so close
?

My mom was 5 years old when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She was 15 when Sadako Sasaki died from leukemia.
