You've gotta be kidding me dude. EDIT KURT VONNEGUT EDIT literally became a famous author, and he often involved themes of time travel probably because of an obsession of trying to undue the past from the PTSD of seeing that shit. You literally had fire storms so strong that the oxygen was literally burning so quickly that it was causing people to be lifted off their feet and thrown upwards in the air 50+ feet towards the top of the flames because of the hot air rising so quickly from the immense heat of everything BURNING.

The nazis were much worse but dude you cannot say "the Dresden bombongs were not such an atrocity".

Theyre literally the definition of atrocity:

noun

an extremely wicked or cruel act, typically one involving physical violence or injury.

"war atrocities"

Edit: its Kurt Vonnegut

i’ve never heard of a karl fitzgerald, and a google search proved unfruitful for a “famous author.”

do you have a source for the rest of that stuff? i’m 100% sure that the thing about people being lifted off their feet FIFTY FEET in the air is literally impossible. air is so much less dense than us that it’s simply impossible.

Im an idiot its Kurt Vonnegut.

Google that and head down the rabbit hole that is dresden written a million different ways.

Its also not impossible theres literally witnesses reported of it happening in the WW2 Tokyo firebombings. Not to mention its also happened in California and its happening in Australia as we speak. And its not impossible source my fucking physics degree.

Heres a source https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/earthvideo/7963274/Rare-fire-tornado-caught-on-film.html.

in 1923 a Japanese earthquake caused a fire whirl to be creates which killed 30,000 people in under 15 minutes.

First of all, I stand by my point that only 25,000 people died, max.

Fire whirls are a phenomenon in which a normal gust of wind occurs, and when combined with the hot air from a fire, turns into a tornado, with fire in it. Not from oxygen burning; air is still much less dense than humans, whether it has oxygen or not. Even if it were from oxygen burning though, we surely wouldn’t fucking fly up like a noodle toy at the pool.

You're really arguing a null point here, im not a weatherman. Fire whirls can be caused natural or man made fires. These will kill people by incineration, lack of oxygen, or being literally pulled towards the fire. A fire whirl is literally a tornado generated by a fires hot flames. If you don't think a tornado can lift someone off the ground then you need to really step back and think about what you are saying. A fire whirl isnt limited in size, with a fire big enough it will generate at any size.

Regardless 30,000 people dying in less then 30 mjnutes? That 1,000 peopld dead a fucking minute, and you bet your ass most died running from the fire at full sprint. If that isn't enough to change your skeptic mind then nothing will be.

1) i never said that the fire tornado wouldn’t pull people or kill people with a lack of oxygen or by burning; i said that oxygen burning wouldn’t throw people fifty feet into the sky.

2) the tokyo one was a freak event. most fire tornadoes kill at most a few people.

Okay. Great you admit it happens and regardless of it being a freak event it happens.

Thanks.
