people talk aobut how the atom bomb was horrible, but no one ever mentions the other bombings of Japan or Germany.
142 days before the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, 1,665 TONS of incindiary bombs were dropped on Tokyo. 24,000 more people died in that bombing that at Hiroshima. Also, 265,000 buildings were destoyed, many more than in Hiroshima, leaving 1 million people homeless. The B-29 crews could see the glow of teh fire from 200 miles away.
In reference to this bombing, Richard Newcomb wrote, "The holocaust exceeded any conflagration in the history of tehe Western World including the burning of Rome in 64 A.D., the London fire of 1666, and the burning of Moscow in 1906."
