<prompt> Qedela lo musho olandelayo: Ngemva kokuhlasela kokuqala ngamabhomu aqondile asuka ezindaweni eziphakeme lapho amabhomu angaphansi kuka-10 ayewela khona eduze kwemicibisholo, amabutho ezindiza eMpini Ahlangene ashintshela ekuhlaseleni okuphansi kwamabhomu avuthayo ebusuku emadolobheni aseJapane. Ngobusuku buka-March 9 kuya ku-10, 1945,  <response>: Amamayela-skwele angu-16 enkabeni yedolobha laseTokyo ashiswa futhi amashumi ezinkulungwane abulawa amaB-29 asebuthweni lezempi laseMelika. I-Survey ilinganisela ukuthi kwafa abangu-88.000, kuyilapho uMnyango Wezomlilo waseTokyo ulinganisela ukuthi kwaba abangu-97.000. Isazi-mlando uRichard Rhodes silinganisela ukuthi kwakunabantu abangaphezu kuka-100.000, nakuba intatheli uMark Selden yayibheka ngisho naleli nani njengelincane kakhulu. 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.
