Remembering Nagasaki

I saw this document (Trinity and Beyond - The Atomic Bomb Movie) about atomic bombs which was narrated by William Shatner. In the beginning it was said that in Nagasaki 39% of the buildings were destroyed. I was left wondering.....how can one define 39% of the buildings? I bet some were partially damaged and others weren't standing at all.... hmmm...were there any standing tall?

Also see the photographs taken by Yosuke Yamahata on August 10th 1945.
