Firebombing killed a lot more people really.
The reason the nuke stands out is because one nuke killed fifty thousand, where with the firebombing it took much more effort - 300 planes dropping hundreds of tons of bombs. In one such attack 100k were killed and another 100k wounded. Two hundred and eighty thousand (280,000) buildings were destroyed in one firebombing attack.
Yet all we talk about is the nuke.
