The bomb was detonated in the air for maximum dispersion.

japan was nuked using a bomb dropped from a bomber plane. the bomb didnt actually hit anything as it was detonated in the air

It was not a rocket, it was a bomb. It was detonated in the air several hundred feet up, because the blast spreads further that way. I think the actual aiming point was a bridge in the centre of the city, but it was a hundred or two yards off that point and, of course, never reached ground level.

According to Wikipedia, the "Little Boy" bomb was aimed at a bridge but drifted slightly due to winds. It detonated at an altitude of about 600 meters above a hospital http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_hiroshima#The_bombing

Properly, they were 'atomized', as the nuclear weapon had not yet been invented. Others have noted the aerial detonation.

i think it was nuked just 300 to 500 mtr above the ground.

The USA has not nuked Hiroshima on purpose. That bomb was compelled spontaneously by and in the very special conditions of the WWII!

The bomb exploded without hitting anything, but the blast did all the image. It was aimed toward a bridge, but bomb accuracy technology was pretty much non-existant at the time, so it exploded somewhere nearby.
