History's deadliest air raid happened in Tokyo during World War II and you've probably never heard of it
Quote:As the flames closed in, Nihei found herself at a Tokyo crossroad, screaming for her father. A stranger wrapped himself around her to protect her from the flames. As more people piled into the intersection, she was pushed to the ground.
As
she drifted in and out of consciousness beneath the crush, she remembers hearing muffled voices above: "We are Japanese. We must live. We must live." Eventually, the voices became weaker. Until silence.
When Nihei was finally pulled out from the pile of people, she saw their bodies charred black. The stranger who had protected her was her father. After falling to the ground, they'd both been shielded from the fire by the charred corpses that were now at their ankles.
Quote:As many as 100,000 Japanese people were killed and another million injured, most of them civilians, when more than 300 American B-29 bombers dropped 1,500 tons of firebombs on the Japanese capital that night.
And then you come lecture me about human rights you fucking terrorists.
Quote:The inferno the bombs created reduced an area of 15.8 square miles to ash. And, by some estimates, a million people were left homeless.
The human toll that night exceeded that of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki later that year, where the initial blasts killed about 70,000 people and 46,000 people respectively, according to the US Department of Energy.
And when somebody reminds you of the filth your fathers did -and you kept as a legacy, doing the exact same-, you say they are "mentally ill".
And you wonder why Coronavirus hit you?
Covid-19 is just the start, hopefully. Cleaning the filth you built
Ask the Chinese in Nanking if we should have been nicer to the WWII Japanese.
I bet they think we fucked up stopping after only 2 nukes...
