    Are you referring to the first single largest massacre of a civilian population in day in history?

    You know the fire bombing of Tokyo killing over one hundred thousand people in one night. Displacing a million people leaving hundreds of thousand severely burned and just causing general suffering never conceived of for a single act.

    Oh wait, I am sorry. Did you mean the second largest massacre of a civilian population in a day?

    You know “Little Boy” atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killing eighty thousand people instantly. Many more suffered and died from radiation poisoning. Cancer claimed countless more.

    I did it again, oops. You probably meant the third largest massacre of a civilian population in a day! Silly me.

    You know the “Fat Man” dropped on Nagasaki vaporizing seventy five thousand people with barely a trace left. Shadows of people burned into buildings and the lifetimes of suffering that followed.
