Talk:Blair, Logan County, West Virginia

"Blair Mountain was the only time in the History of the U.S. that a bomb was dropped on our soil."

Ummm... No. This statement is completely false. Aside from millions of tons of ordnance dropped on US 'soil' during training on a regular basis... During World War 2 the Japanese had an outlandish scheme of using balloons that would float across the Pacific on the jetstream carrying incendiary bombs to drop on the Pacific Northwest, with the hopes of create widespread forest fires. Obviously it was not successful in that respect, but some bombs did indeed reach their destination and did account for at least one fatality if I'm not mistaken.....

This isn't a chat board; language such as yours is generally not appreciated, and is certainly not helpful.

 * Several Jap seaplanes also dropped bombs in Washington (state) during World War II. Maybe it should be noted as the FIRST time a bomb was dropped in anger by aircraft on US soil, and even then I'm not sure it would be true.
 * Federal aircraft also used maching guns to strafe the shantytowns (or so I've been told). If this it true it should also be noted. 74.36.193.253 20:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
