The Extra-Ordinary Bombing Raid

120 Words1 Pages
This bombing raid was extra-ordinary, because unlike the previous bombing raids, which consisted of large numbers of planes, this bomb was delivered by a single plane flying solo above the city. The reason people came out of their shelters to watch is because the plane delivered the bomb on a parachute, thinking it was just a harmless scouting plane, the citizens resumed back to their normal every-day life before it detonated. Previously bombing raids delivered fire bombs, which were different as they mainly targeted the wooden infrastructure and agricultural aspects of Japan, rather than the innocent citizens who could escape and rebuild a life. This cause of dropping the bomb destroyed everything, living or not, with extreme heat and radiation.
