"80,000 people died in one conventional bomb attack on Tokyo on the night of 8/9 March 1945 (more) than in Hiroshima the bombing." - Sawzaw.

to which we got this from Stringsinger:

"The 80,000 figure listed above sounds like a false estimate. How would anyone know this? It has to be speculated not factual."

Really Frank?? Now I just bet with the way you speak about Hiroshima and Nagasaki that you are one of the outraged and concerned citizens who vehemently declare the Dresden raid a "war crime" in which you will claim that 135,000 to 225,000 people were killed. Yet when German records are examined the toll was actually somewhere between 18,000 and 25,000.
