One of our leftist congresswomen (former first anchorwoman of the most important news tv channel and now elected with the left) was on tv last night and said that 73 % of buildings in Fallujah were destroyed. Now some buddies and I are trying to see whether it's true.
I mean just a few German cities were leveled up to 80 % of buildings destroyed after months and months of heavy bombings. I don't think it is possible that 73 % of buildings in Fallujah were destroyed without that heavy bombing campaign and in just 10 days.
The following picture is Fallujah after the battle, taken on November 14, 2004.

Does it look to you like a 73%-destroyed city?
One more thing, the anchorwoman/politician said the city is "blackened". Looking at the picture, the only thing that comes to my mind is that the clouds actually "blacken" the neighborhood.
What are your opinions? I'd like to gather data from the battle (possibly from official sources) or your comments based on personal experience. Thank you guys.
