10 Most Fatal Bomb Attacks

#2 Bombing of Tokyo:

The allied forces knew Japanese stronghold was at Tokyo and that was their next major target. The capital city of Japan, Tokyo, based camps of many notable generals, soldiers and fleet forces of the Japanese army. The attack was carried out by the allied forces from 1942 to 1945. Also referred as ‘firebombing’, the bombing started in April 1942, as U.S. did a small raid in Tokyo. Later Strategic and Urban bombing began in 1944, which later resulted in the arrival of long range B-29 Superfortress bomber. This aircraft almost took half of Japan with its deadly ammunition capacity. Among the raid, an operation called ‘Operation Meetinghouse’, dated 9 to 10 March, 1945 is still considered to be the single most destructive bombing raid in history. 

At last in August 15, 1945 Japan surrendered. According to the Tokyo Fire Department, the death toll was over 97,000 civilians, which still is an approximate value.
