Just like the article on the B-29 superfortress [0] mentions and links to the article about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki [1].

- stickfigure 4y agoNot to say that the shelter bombing isn't a tragedy, but it's nowhere near the scale. > killed at least 408 civilians vs > The two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people Maybe it's a sad state of affairs that 400 civilian deaths isn't that remarkable, but this is the world we live in. More than that died in the Mariupol theatre airstrike, but we don't need to link that from every airplane and munition article. Sorry. I wish this shit was less common too.

- thrdbndndn 4y agoThe a-bombing on Japan was a much impactful/influential event, and more importantly, for whatever reason, it was heavily associated with B-29 (probably THE reason why B-29 was famous in average people to begin with). This is what makes the bombing event essential for B-29's article. The Amiriyah bombing doesn't really have such connotation with the plane.
