On this Day


Today is March 10th 2010 on this day 65 years ago 334 B-29 U.S. Bombers dropped incendiaries destroying 267,000 buildings and destroying over 25% of the city of Tokyo trying to get Japanese to surrender in World War II. Over 100,00 people are killed in the operations that day. Raids like this lasted for six whole months before the use of the Atomic Bomb. This picture show the blast as they occur when the bombs were dropped and hit their targets.
