I actually read something on how they decided on the spot they dropped the bomb. The military generals were told they had to select at least two certain cities to be 'test spots' for the bomb. The selected sites, they didn't want those sites to be damaged at all so they could really judge how much the damage the bomb did. That meant they had to select sites that we weren't going to need to bomb otherwise.
