| Topic | In WW2 Japan launched over 9,300 balloon bombs at the US. Only 1 did damage. |
| UnfairRepresent 04/30/24 5:05:14 AM #1: | The idea was to be undectable by radar and do massive destruction. At the time they were the longest range strike in history but they were near impossible to aim and easily effected by bad weather. Only 300 were confirmed to reach America, with sightings in Mexico and Canada.

Only 4 of which died instantly. These were the only US causalities of WW2 on (At the time) US Mainland soil. Japan considered the entire enterprise a gigantic failure due to the time, money and resources they put into the project. One of the aims was to damage morale in America due to psychologically knowing they were danger in their own homes, which never happened. Imagine being so angry that you send over 9000 bombs that you have no way of monitoring or aiming. It's like Jack 2 in Tekken Tag windmilling his arms wildly at no one if he gets electrocuted by Devil --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ... Copied to Clipboard! |
