In the English-speaking world, no subject is so inherently serious that we don’t tell jokes about it. We have holocaust jokes for crying out loud.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_zero

According to that you’re correct. Ground zero is the point on the ground closest to the explosion if it happened in the air.

I’m pretty sure if I survived two nukes I’d probably think I had super powers or something.

a few months ago i saw a documentary regarding the bombings, and will what you said is true, the bombs detonated in the air, physics explained that this was planned to be like that since if the bombs hit ground the earth will absorb some of the energy explosion, so they where detonated in the air seeking to achieve the maximum destruction possible.
PD: a curious effect of this, was that a bounding standing directly below air zero, dident collapse for the explosion, in fact is still standing to this day.
