Japanese Balloon Bombs - WW2 Attack on the US
Loading...
Uploaded by newsdial on Nov 6, 2008
In 1944, Japan started launching thousands of bombs, attached to balloons, from their shores to the United States. More than 300 made it to their destination...
Many citizens of the United States are still unaware about the Japanese balloon bomb incidents because the U.S. government, at the time of the attacks, had instructed the media not to report on it. That way the Japanese couldn't gather intelligence on how well the balloon bombs were doing. If they had sensed success, they could have increased and prolonged the attacks.
This short video provides a little more insight into the attacks and the ultimate price that was paid. This is a fascinating subject to learn about and there are a couple of good documentaries out there on the subject. - Joe

@soupie Yes, I did misunderstand you. Sorry about that. It was a very backward, lame way to attack a country an ocean away.

@jethrodassam
I think you may of misunderstood me, I was remarking on the fact that they used such great means, but to no end, if your going to kill people, you may as well do it effectively, I mean, you could just nuke people, but that seems like over kill :D

I heard some of these have anthrax and plague infested fleas that may explain why the plague up in lake tahoe.
