Off shoot of this topic, but the deadliest place and time in history has to be Tokyo, Japan on the night of March 9 during the B-29 firebombings. Greater than 100k deaths and thousands more casualties in one night! It really puts those battle fatalities in perspective.

One of the craziest things I've ever read was a Japanese family that actually survived. They went to their local elementary school because Japan didn't build air raid shelters for the civilians like Germany did and the school was packed so they ended up on the roof of the 3 story building.

Somehow they managed to survive the heat and exposure from the fire bombing and when they went to go back down everyone in the school was dead. It was so hot inside the water in the school swimming pool had even boiled away

Shut your whore mouth, Dresden is the poster child for indiscriminate fire bombing.
