I think it was a good thing that the bomb was dropped in these early stages of it's development. It could well be that if those bombs wouldn't have been dropped that the USSR and the USA would have gone into a nuclear war with each other. The fact that the bomb had been dropped and people knew it's insane destruction power might have been a deciding factor in keeping the world out of a nuclear holocaust during the cold war.
And most people that know the subject agree that the amount of casualties would have been 5 or up to 10 times higher if USA would have invaded Japan. So even though these people might have horrible stories to tell, allot more people could have them if it weren't for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
