It was mostly noteworthy in terms of the technological achievement and scary precedent that was being set. In terms of the number of deaths, I guess it's generally considered worse when they're non-military targets, but I'm not sure how much that applies during total war. The number of deaths was significantly lower than some of the battles in WW2 and that should probably be kept in mind. That said, it was ridiculous that they planned to drop more than 1. 1 would've been enough to make people surrender.
