<prompt> Bhala okuqhubekayo kwalesi sigaba - Ngemva kokuhlasela kokuqala okuvela ekuqhunyweni kwamabhomu okuphezulu okuphezulu lapho amabhomu angaphansi kuka-10 ewela khona eduze kwemicibisholo yawo, amabutho ezindiza ama-Allied ashintshela ekuhlaselweni kwamabhomu asezingeni eliphansi ebusuku emadolobheni aseJapane. Ngobusuku bango-March 9 kuya ku-March 10, ngo-1945, indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angu-16 yedolobha laseTokyo yashiswa yaphela futhi kwafa amashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu  <response>: Izindiza ze-B-29 ze-U.S. Army Air Forces.

Ezinsukwini eziyishumi ezalandela, kwabhujiswa indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angu-31. Lokhu kuhlola kuphawula ukuthi lezi zihlaselo zazinomthelela omncane ngqo ekukhiqizeni, njengoba izimboni ezahlaselwa amabhomu zazinokwehla okuncane ekukhiqizeni kunalezo ezazingahlaselwanga. Nokho, baphawula nokuthi ukukhiqizwa kwehla ngo-54 phakathi nale nkathi ngenxa yemiphumela yokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu: ukubulawa, ukulimala nokususwa ezindlini kwabasebenzi kanye nokubhujiswa kwenethiwekhi yezokuthutha. Baphawula nokwehla okusheshayo kokutholakala kokudla, kwehla kusuka cishe kuma-kilojoule angu-2 000 ngosuku ekuqaleni kwempi, kuya ku-1 680 kubasebenzi bezimboni ngesikhathi sempi ishuba kakhulu, futhi kwaba ngaphansi kwabasebenzi abangabalulekile.
