London- Since the 7 of September, London and other cities of Great Britain have been bomb by Germany's Luftwaffe. The death rate of the whole country is over 60,000 people. With over 2,000,000 people without homes to live in. “The bombing that night began with a shower of slow-burning incendiaries”- Betty Popkiss as she remembers the horrors that awaited her, that first night. The government informs people that rationing will still continue, even after the bombing due to the Germans cutting off our main food supply. Free Anderson's shelters are available for anyone who can't afford the 7 pound shelter. The shelters are for safety reasons for your children to go in when there are bombs and shrapnel falling. The city also advises that children
The government knew that such actions and the “Duck and Cover” methods recommended in schools would, in fact, provide absolutely no protection against exposure to fallout. The government also promoted building a fallout shelter, stocked with supplies of canned goods, as a way to survive atomic war. This was only a partial truth, since a shelter could protect from radiation, but not from fire storms.
These are the four little girls that had died in the bombing of The 16th street Baptist church. Their names were Addi Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise.
Terry Nichols received life in prison. “Until September 11, 2001, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack to take place on U.S. soil.”A bomb carried in a Ryder truck exploded in front of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City at 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995. “The blast killed 168 people, including 19 children. More than 500 people were injured.Timothy J. McVeigh and Terry L. Nichols were convicted of the attack.” Just because, one person messing around caused an accident, this wasn’t supposed to happen. This accident was so bad we have lost many people. It’s very upsetting to the people that was lost the members and i’m sure were very angry.
At 12:01, with the echo of the last bell lingering in the air, the one-hundred pounds of dynamite hidden in the wagon exploded (Andrews, 2014). Shrapnel encompassed the immediate area; people were dropping everywhere. The structures nearby shook as the shock wave slammed through the exterior walls. The cloth awnings that overlooked the streets burst into flames (Bellows, 2007). Next, came a rain shower of glass that drenched the streets from the shattered windows. Nearby, World War I veterans experienced a scene of devastation very similar to that of the battlefields. They initially suspected that cause of such destruction had come from the skies (King, 2011). One witness wrote, “ It was a crash out of a blue sky, an unexpected, death dealing bolt which in a twinkling turned into a shamble the busiest corner of Americas financial center” (Gage 2002).
In 1995, it all started as a peaceful Wednesday morning. People were starting work or just waking up in Oklahoma City. While all these peoples’ days were starting, a young male parked a yellow truck outside of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. That day, everyone's’ life in that building changed forever. The effects of the April 19,1995 bombing were more than just physical to the survivors of this horrific event.
The bombing of Dresden from February 13 to February 15, 1945 remains one of the most controversial bombings in World War II. Located in eastern Germany, Dresden was targeted by Allied bombers during the final months World War II in the European theatre. The justification of the bombing remains controversial because the city was neither a political center nor an industrial center contributing to the Nazi war effort. The one word that describes Dresden before its decimation was innocence.
The Oklahoma Bombing was one of the most disastrous, overwhelming attacks in America’s history. One horrible man went through with this plan to destroy many people’s lives just because of his own paranoia. He specifically chose his target to cause an uproar to draw attention to himself and his “accomplishment.” He did all this and, as a result, America grieved together and grew together to hate a common enemy.
On April 15, 2013, Boston’s first attack on public citizens, in a long time. During this attack 3 civilians were killed and later on there was an officer shot by the suspect. There was also 264 people who were wounded during this time as well. All this was caused by two bombs that went off on Boylston Street each at different parts of the street. This was known as the Boston Bombing. Hello I’m Cameron Smith, our country has many monuments and memorials, all dedicated to people or events that would never be forgotten in America's history. On the dated listed above the Boston Bombing happened, which affected many people who lived in America. This is why I am proposing a new monument to honor all those people who risked their lives to go save others who, were injured. This monument would also honor those who lost their lives during this tragic accident. This monument would be built in Boston, near where the bombs went off.
The Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah building took place on April 19, 1995 by a 24-year-old army veteran, by the name of Timothy McVeigh and up until the 9-11 attack in New York City, was the worst terrorist attack on U.S soil. It took the lives of 168 people, leaving another 509 injured. McVeigh planned his attack for the date of the second anniversary of the governments assault near Waco. The raid in Waco ended unsuccessfully with six Branch Davidians and four federal agents dead. The Oklahoma bombing meant nothing more to him than pure revenge, his only goal was vengeance and he felt merely nothing.
In 2016, there has been a recorded estimate of 450,000 casualties in that year, with the majority being their own civilians. The numerous amounts of air strikes caused by the US and Russia had caused more damage and death then there already was.
Ms Pillay said: "Given there has been no let-up in the conflict since the end of November, we can assume that more than 60,000 people have been killed by the beginning of 2013.
At the crack of dawn on September 15, 1963, at approximately 10:22 a.m. an unexpected explosion happened at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. This was one of the most drastic events to take place during the Civil Rights Movement. A $5,000 reward was put out if anyone was willing and able to find the people that did this drastic bombing.
With intricate detail the author explains these events as frightening and overwhelmingly difficult to tolerate. Beah, exposed to combat at age 12, was traumatized by battle and portrays details of the horrifying events through imagery. “When the rebels finally came I was cooking... My heart was beating faster than it ever had. Each gunshot seemed to cling to the beat of my heart.”
On 04-08-2016 at 2321 hours I was dispatched to 3100 Oak Grove Road in reference to domestic assault.
As the explosions continue we hear the radio broadcasting its final message giving survivors, advice not to depart from their shelter until at least a month due to overwhelming amounts of radiation. I feel fortunate to have always kept the bomb shelter from the fifty’s well stocked in case of a disaster such as this I have always been paranoid and luckily enough it turned out to have saved my life and the ten others who occupy the shelter with me. As I glance around the shelter I realize it is no bigger than the lake house my Uncle Bob owned. The shelter is comprised of four rooms a kitchen, a designated sleeping area with 6 cots, the main hall, and a storage room. The shelter certainly wasn’t designed to occupy eleven individuals and as such does
