Firebombing of Tokyo
America's 1945 attack on Japan's capital remains undeservedly obscure alongside Hiroshima and Nagasaki

About Me
Self-reflection
I was very excited to research on my Topic, The Fire bombing on Tokyo. Im interested in Asian Culture and that's why I chose this topic. I've learned so many things from what I have researched. Most of the articles that I got my information from were very descriptive with what they have experienced or heared from the survivors. Corpses laying lifeless on the ground or clotting Japan's main river. Corpses that were melted from the heat of the fire. Corpses that were found dead in underground holes because they lost hope and gave up on escaping that they just stayed where they were. My most favorite quote from one of the survivors was Nihei, when she said, "Those images in my mind... can never be erased... I can see myself there, the flames all around me. And I'm running for my life." Those memories can never be gone. It stays and haunts their mind with horrific images. Nightmares from what they saw and experienced.
