Japan is remembering the 105,000 people killed in a single night, 80 years ago Monday, in the U.S. firebombing of the Japanese capital
80 years ago, a US firebombing of Tokyo killed over 100,000 people, leaving the city filled with charred corpses. Survivors, who have not received aid like atomic bombing victims, are seeking compensation and recognition. The attack, comparable in damage to the atomic bombings, has been largely ignored despite destroying downtown Tokyo.
